Question | Answer |
---|---|
Physiology | The study of life processes in an organism |
Nastic movement | A plant's response to a stimulus such that the direction of the response is preprogrammed an not dependent of the direction of the stimulus |
Loam | A mixture of gravel, sand, silt, clay, and organic matter |
Cohesion | The phenomenon that occurs when individual molecules are so strongly attracted to each other that they tend to stay together, even when exposed to tension |
Translocation | The process by which organic substances move through the phloem of a plant |
Hormones | Chemicals that circulate throughout multicellular organisms, regulating cellular processes by interacting with specifically targeted cells |
Phototropism | A growth response to light |
Gravitropism | A growth response to gravity |
Thigmotropism | A growth response to touch |
Perfect flowers | Flowers with both stamens and carpels |
Imperfect flowers | Flowers with either stamens or carpels, but not both |
Pollination | The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the carpel in flowering plants |
Double fertilization | A fertilization process that requires two sperm to fuse with two other cells |
Seed | An ovule with a protective coating, encasing a mature plant embryo and a nutrient source |
Fruit | A mature ovary that contains a seed or seeds |
water: | photosynthesis, turgor pressure, hydrolysis, transport |
cohesion-tension theory | transpiration causes water to move up the xylem in a plant |
hormones types: | auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene, florigens |
auxins drive: | phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism |
etioloation | form of phototropism |
water | photosynthesis, turgor pressure, hydrolysis, transport |
Pore spaces | gravel, sand, silt, and clay |
cohesion-tension theory | auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene, florigens |
fleshy fruit classes | pomes, drupes, berries, modified berries |
germination | 1. radicle sprouts (root) 2. hypocotyl develops (stem) 3. seed leaves (cotyledons) form 4. real leaves form at the epicotyl |
auxins drive: | phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism |
etiolation | form of phototropism |
reproductive terms | phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism |
fertilization terms | pollen tube, endosperm |
testa | protective coating around the ovule |
fruit forms | compound fruit, simple fruit, aggregate fruit, multiple fruit |
dry fruit classes | pod, capsule, nut, samara, grain, achene |
