a wood, vascular seed plant whose seeds are not enclosed by an ovary or fruit

a flowering plant that produces seeds within a fruit

the type of plant tissue other than vascular tissue that makes up much of the inside of a plant

the specialized conductive tissue that is found in higher plants that is made up of mostly xylem and phleom

the type of tissue in vascular plants that provides support and conducts water and nutrients from the roots

the type of tissue that conducts food (sugars, amino acids, nutrients) in vascular plants

cohesion-tension theory

theory that explains how the physical properties of water allow it to move through the xylem of plants

the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through stomata

model for predicting how sugars are transported from photosynthetic tissues to the rest of the plant

center of a root or stem that contains the vascular tissue

the growth that occurs as a result of cell division at the tips of stems and roots and gives rise to primary plant tissue

growth that results from cell division in the cambia, or lateral meristems, and that cause the stems and roots to thicken

the broad, flat portion of a typical leaf

the stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant

in leaves, the tissue between epidermal layers, where photosynthesis occurs

one pair of specialized cells that boarder a stoma and regulate gas exchange
