Roots, Stems, Leaves Unit Review- Botany

This is the type of ground tissue that is very fibrous and stringy, providing upright sturdiness for plants. Celery strings are primarily made of this.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

This is the movement of nutrients from areas where they are in high concentration to areas where they are in lower concentration. This process is used to drive the movement of nutrients and water throughout the plant.

• diffusion

• osmosis

• photosynthesis

• transpiration

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

This word is used to describe a plant that is well watered and its leaves and stems are stiff and upright. It is generally a sign that the plant has balanced water, nutrient, and light intake. Too much turgor pressure can lead to plant cells bursting, though.

• turgid

• wilted

• stunted

• mottled

This is the type of ground tissue that is primarily where photosynthesis occurs.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

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 type of plant tissue is used primarily to transport water, nutrients, and sap throughout the plant.

• dermal

• vascular

• ground

• meristematic

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 word is used to describe a plant that is showing patchy discolorations on the stems and/or leaves. This can be due to nutrient imbalance, disease, etc.

• turgid

• wilted

• stunted

• mottled

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.
