Question
Answer
abiotic factors   non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the function of ecoyststems  
🗑
apoplastic movement   it is the movement in the free diffusional space outside the plasma membrane  
🗑
germination   the process by which a plant grows from a seed  
🗑
gravitropism   turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity  
🗑
halophyte   a plant adapted to growing in saline conditions  
🗑
micropropagation   the propagation of plants by growing plantlets in tissue culture and then planting them out  
🗑
mutualism   mutualism  
🗑
phototropism   the orientation of a plant or other organisms in response to light, either towards the source of light (positive) or away from it (negative)  
🗑
Pollination   the carrying of pollen grains (the male sex cells in plants) to the female sex cells for fertilization  
🗑
potometer   a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy plant shoot  
🗑
seed dispersal   movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant sink  
🗑
sink   recieves or stores energy for the plant (roots)  
🗑
source   sends energy for the plant (leaves)  
🗑
symplastic movement   the diffusion of water on the inner side of the plasma membrane  
🗑
translocation   when the sap is pumped into the companion cell and water moves by osmosis  
🗑
amylase   an enzyme, found chiefly in saliva and pancreatic fluid, that converts starch and glycogen into simple sugars.  
🗑
auxin   a plant hormone that causes the elongation of cells in shoots and is involved in regulating plant growth.  
🗑
cytokinins   Another term for Kinin. A compound that promotes cell division and inhibits aging in plants  
🗑
gibberellin   any of a group of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation, germination, and flowering.  
🗑
IAA   Indole-3-acetic acid is the most common, naturally-occurring, plant hormone of the auxin class.  
🗑
lignin/ lignified   a complex organic polymer deposited in the cell walls of many plants, making them rigid and woody.  
🗑
maltose/ sucrose/glucose   Starch creates maltos/sucrose and glucose to give energy to germinating plants  
🗑
PFR   When Pr absorbs red light, it is converted to the Pfr form. Absorbs at a peak of 666 nm  
🗑
PR   When Pfr absorbs far red light, it is converted to the Pr form Absorbs at a peak of 730 nm  
🗑
anther   where pollen is produced  
🗑
apical meristem   primary meristem tissue with undifferentiated cell s  
🗑
cambium   responsible for secondary growth of stems and roots  
🗑
casparian strip   regulates water and mineral uptake by the roots  
🗑
companion cells   regulates the flow of nutrients through the tubes  
🗑
cortex   storage of photosynthetic products; active in the uptake of water and minerals  
🗑
cotyledon   usually becomes the embryonic first leaves of a seedling  
🗑
dicotyledon   plants with two initial cotyledons (seed leaf)  
🗑
epidermis   protect underlying cells, also allows sunlight to pass through the chloroplast  
🗑
fungus hyphae   Aids plants in nutrient and water absorption  
🗑
guard cells   regulate rate of transportation by opening and closing stomata  
🗑
micropyle   refers to any opening in an ovule's outer layer. This opening allows pollen to fertilize the plant  
🗑
monocotyledon   one seed leaves which develop from the plumule  
🗑
ovary   contains the ovules which has the egg cell inside. After fertilization the ovary becomes a fruit  
🗑
phloem   vascular tissue that distributes organic molecules mainly manufactured in leaves  
🗑
pollen tube   tube that grows towards ovules after pollen is spread on the stigma  
🗑
procambium   cambium in young stage, will form vacular tissue  
🗑
protoderm   early stage, will develop into epidermis  
🗑
reproductive structures   flowers (pistil is the female organ, the stamen is the male organ)  
🗑
root hair   Tube-like extension of plant roots that absorbs water and minerals, increase surface area  
🗑
sepal   Parts that surround and protect the bud  
🗑
sieve tube   transport carbohydrates e.g. sucrose in plant  
🗑
stem   support the leaves, conduct water and mineral to leaves  
🗑
roots   part of plant for support the plant, and absorb water and nutrients  
🗑
stigma   female part that receives pollen  
🗑
stomata   control tradeoff for plant, alloe CO2 in but let water escape  
🗑
style   assist with fertilization by being location where pollen tube travel sperm cell to egg  
🗑
testa   block entrance of water, hinder gas exchange so embryo lack oxygen aka the seed coat  
🗑
tracheids   found in xylem with vessel elements for transport of water and mineral salts  
🗑
tubers   modified stems for nutrient storage, nutrient sinks  
🗑
vascular bundle   transport system, including supporting and protective tissues  
🗑
vegetative structures   structural modification of stem  
🗑
xylem vessels   vascular system element that transport water and dissolved ions up to stems and leaves.  
🗑
meristem tissue   the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plant where growth can take place.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
