GERMINATION | Process by which a plant grows from a seed, a.k.a. seedling emergence. |
VACUOLE | Organelle in cell cytoplasm; functions to store water, nutrients, & wastes; 1 large central unit in plant cells, several small units in animal cells. |
TURGOR PRESSURE | Force of water molecules against the cell wall that allows plants to stand up straight; "turg = swollen." |
TROPISM | Turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus, e.g. gravity, light, water, touch, heat, etc. |

HYDROTROPISM | Growth or turning of plant roots toward or away from moisture; "hydro = water." |
GEOTROPISM/ GRAVITROPISM | Plant’s growth in response to the force exerted upon it by gravity; "geo = earth" & "gravi = gravity." |
WILT | Become limp or droopy due to heat, loss of water, or disease. |
TURGID | State of plant cells when their vacuoles are filled with water, causing the plant leaves to stand upright; "turg = swollen." |
STOMATA | Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can move. |
PHLOEM | The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants. |
