Roots, Stems, Leaves Unit Review- Botany

This type of vascular tissue carries water upward from the roots to the leaves where photosynthesis occurs.

• xylem

• phloem

• stomata

• cuticle

This type of plant tissue serves as a primarily protective layer, and often includes a waxy cuticle, but can also serve as a point of gas exchange, especially in the leaves. This barrier tissue helps keep water, nutrients, and other materials entering and exiting the plant appropriately.

• dermal

• vascular

• ground

• meristematic

This type of vascular tissue carries the sap created during photosynthesis throughout the plant, delivering glucose and other sugars to the various tissues that rely on it for energy and growth.

• phloem

• stomata

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This type of cell is controlled by sodium and potassium ions that drive osmosis in the cells. When water flushes into these cells they "plump" opening the stomata to allow gas exchange and transpiration. When the plant is experiencing drought conditions, they stay closed and prevent water loss.

• cuticle

• meristem

• guard cell

• casparian strip

This word is used to describe a plant that has a lack of growth. This is typically due to a nutrient imbalance.

• turgid

• wilted

• stunted

• mottled

NGSS.MS-LS2-1

This is the type of ground tissue provides strength and protection against tearing and damage from impacts. It is what makes leaves strong and resistant to tears.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

This type of dermal tissue opens and closes to allow gases such as CO₂, O₂, and H₂0 to enter or leave the leaves.

• xylem

• phloem

• stomata

• cuticle

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

This is the process by which water specifically is moved from areas where it is highly concentrated to where it is less concentrated.

• diffusion

• osmosis

• photosynthesis

• transpiration

This type of plant tissue makes up the "filler" or mass of the plant. It can have various uses, and much of the photosynthesis happens here.

• dermal

• vascular

• ground

• meristematic

This type of waxy dermal tissue can vary in thickness, but acts as a protective shield against harmful materials and impacts while also preventing the plant from losing too much water.
