|
Branching roots primarily found in grasses
|
Fibrous roots
|
|
|
One main root found in plants such as carrots or dandelions. It stores food.
|
Taproot
|
|
|
Works much like a solar panel, absorbing light energy, which is then stored as food energy. It uses the sun's light energy to change carbon dioxide & water into food.
|
Chlorophyll
|
|
|
The food produced by a plant. A type of sugar.
|
Glucose
|
|
|
The process of using oxygen to release energy from food.
|
Cell Respiration
|
|
|
A growth response of a plant to conditions in the environment such as light or water.
|
Tropism
|
|
|
A turning of the roots towards the Earth. This ensures that roots will grow down in the soil where water and nutrients are.
|
Geotropism
|
|
|
Growing towards light.
|
Phototropic response
|
|
|
Growing towards water.
|
Hydrotropic response
|
|
|
Response to touch such as when tendrils wrap around objects to support the plant.
|
Thigmotropism response
|
|
|
The layer of the root that connects the epidermis with the inner core.
|
Cortex
|
|
|
This tissure is made of tubes that carry water and minerals from the soil upward.
|
Xylem tissue
|
|
|
This layer of cells covers the root
|
Epidermis
|
|
|
This tissue is made of tubes that carry sugars and other nutrients from the leaves through the stem and down to the root.
|
Phloem tissue
|
|
|
These are tiny extensions that take in water and minerals to the root.
|
Root hairs
|
|
|
The tip of the root, pushes the root through the soil.
|
Root Cap
|
|
|
The outer covering of the woody stem
|
Bark
|
|
|
The center of a woody stem.
|
Heartwood
|
|
|
A part of a woody stem
|
sapwood
|
|
|
The part of the woody stem that becomes thicker each year.
|
Growth layer
|
|
|
Plants such as pine, spruce & fir tree have these leaves. The shape of the leaves helps reduce water loss.
|
Needle leaves
|
|
|
These leaves have veins, blades & petioles.
|
Broad leaf
|
|
|
The transport system with the petiole in the leaf. Water enters the leaf through this part.
|
Vein
|
|
|
The broad flat part of the leaf.
|
Blade
|
|
|
The extension of the xylem and phloem tubes of the stem.
|
Petiole
|
|
|
List the parts of the leaf.
|
Upper epidermis
Palisade layer Spongy layer Vein Lower Epidermis |
|
|
Describe the process of photosynthesis.
|
Carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucose + water
|
