Year 2

Stoma

Tiny openings allowing plants to exchange gases necessary for cellular processes

Transpirtation

When a plant absorbs water in its roots

Cuticle

water-impervious protective layer covering the epidermal cells of leaves and other parts and limiting water loss

Epidermis

a protective outer covering of many plants and animals

Xylem

 water transporter cells of plants

Phloem

moves food throughout the plant

Guard Cells

 in the epidermis of a plant that control the opening and closing of a stoma 

Turgor Pressure

The water pressure inside plant cells

Cohesion

the action or fact of forming a united whole

Adhesion

he action or process of adhering to a surface or object

Surface Tension

an attractive force exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid

Xerophytes

 a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an environment with little water

Halophytes

a plant that grows in waters of high salinity

Source

 (usually the leaves)

Sink

moved into the sieve elements (phloem cells) 

Translocation

Transport of soluble food material from one plant to another via phloem or xylem

Meristemic Tissue

Meristemic Tissue

an area of active plant growth, undifferentiated cells divide and form new specialized cells

Annuals

From germination to the production of seed, within one year, and then dies

Biennials

 plant that takes two years to complete its biological lifecycle

Perennials

a plant that lives for more than two years

Apical Meristem

 at the tip of a plant shoot or root that produces auxin 

Shoot Apex

where fresh stems, leaves, and other parts of a plant grow after the old parts fall off or dry up

Lateral Meristem

which secondary growth occurs, resulting in increase in stem girth

Angiosperm

any seed-bearing plant, where there is an ovary and develop fruit

Gymnosperm

a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit

Monocot

A group of flowering plants belonging to the class Liliopsida

Dicot

characterized by having 2-seed leaves, or cotyledons

Sepal

green parts that surround and protect the flower bud 

Petals

modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers

Anther

Pollen-bearing structure in the stamen

Filament

consists of a slender stalk

Stigma

is the receptive tip of a carpel,

Style

is a long, slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary

Ovary

 is a plant's reproductive structure

Carpel

female reproductive structures that produce egg cells

Pistil

the female reproductive part of a flower

Stamen

consists of the filament and the anther

Gametophyte

stage in the life cycle of plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations

Sporophyte

multicellular diploid generation found in plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations

Pollination

is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female reproductive organs of a plant

Fertilisation

union of male and female gametes to produce a zygote

Zygote

a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes

Testa

It consists of a tough coat 

Cotyledon

usually becomes the embryonic first leaves of a seedling
