Preparation and Planting Flashcards
Study
-take in or soak up
Absorb
– To gather or collect.
Accumulation
- The minimum temperature
Base Temperature
-A lack of essential nutrients required for plant growth
Deficiency
–The vertical distance between a standard reference point, such as sea level
Elevation
–Cannot be synthesized by the body and must be supplied from foods
Essential nutrient
–A unit of measurement in science that represents the amount of heat
Growing degree unit (GDU)
-the increase in size of a plant
Growth
- vascular plants that have no persistent woody stems above ground
Herbaceous
– The angular distance north or south from the equator
Latitude
- Elements required in large amounts to help plants develop
Macronutrient
- The stage when a fruit or vegetable is fully developed
Maturity
- A substance that supports plant growth by providing water, nutrients, air, and structure
Medium
–Trace elements, are required in small amounts to help plants develop and grow
Micronutrient
– Substance necessary for the functioning of an organism
Nutrient
- The amount of water in soil at which plants can no longer absorb water
Permanent wilting point
- A growing medium used in hydroponics to support plant roots
Rockwool
- An explanation for an observed phenomenon
Theory
- The magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction
Threshold
- The pressure of fluid within a plant cell that helps the plant grow and stand upright
Turgor
- Pressure caused by osmotic differences
Turgor pressure
- A symptom of plant disease that causes leaves and branches to droop and lose water
Wilt
