Diffusion Of plants Flashcards
Transpiration
Is the loss of water from the plant
Stomata
Tiny little holes in the leaves through which gases diffuse in and out
diffusion
The Movement of Particles from an Area of High Concentration to an area of Low Concentration
Photosynthesis
CO2 diffuses into the leaves
O2 and water vapour diffuse out of the leaves
Phloem
Transports sucrose around the plant body
Sucrose
Mineral sugar for the plant
Root hair cells
Uses osmosis to transport minerals into the body of the cells which it has adapted over time
Osmosis
Is a type of diffusion for water that moves water from an area of dilute solution to a concentrated solution
Nitrates
Are used to make cells grow via proteins in them
If lack of, the leaves will turn yellow and the growth of the plant will be stunted
