| 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 |
