iCEV Plant Science Part 2

process of producing new plants by seeds, cuttings or other techniques

system which transports water and nutrients throughout the plant

the sprouting and growing of a plant from seeds

diffusion of water molecules from a place of higher concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane

specialized organelle which contains chlorphyll

green pigment which captures light energy in plants; located in the chloroplasts

the alteration of a protein shape through some form of external stress

fungus which forms a mutualistic relationship with the roots of plants to allow better absorption in the roots

single layer of cells which regulates the flow of water between the central stele of roots from the outer layers

primarily transports water from the roots to the leaves; dead part of the vascular system

primarily transports sugars and amino acids; living part of the vascular system

located in the phloem; transports sucrose and other dissolved solids around the plant

a simple sugar formed during photosynthesis to provide food for th eplant

plant hormone which stimulates cell elongation in the stem; involved in: root initiation, vascular differentiation, tropic responses and development of plant parts

interconnected network of fibrous protein which determines cell shape, organization of cytoplasm and growth and differentiation in cell division

yellowing due to loss of chrlorphyss

long bladed leaves of plants; particularly palm tree leaves

leaves are in a circular arrangement and close together; internodes are shortened

to improve and prepare land for raising crops by plowing or fertilizing

process of observing plants based on characteristics related to general health, physiology and reproduction

utilized for stability and nutrient transport

apparatuses which provide the ability for plants to sexually reproduce

products of plant reproduction often used to transport seeds

process of plants utilizing various physiological characteristics depending on the needs created by their environment
