Tissues, Organs, Systems Flashcards
Xylem
Xylem is a plant tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant using trecheids and vessel elements
Pholem
Pholem is a plant tissue that transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to the rest of the plant using sieve tubes and companion cells.
Stomata (guard cells)
Stomata is a small opening in the surface of the leave alowing waste to leave the cell, including the uptake of carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis and the release of oxygen and water vapour
Processes of transpiration
Transpiration is the process by which plans lose water vapor from their leaves and stems to the atmosphere due to evaportion, creating a negative pressure that pulls water up from the roots.
Process of translocation
Translocation is the process by which organic compunds , such as sugars and amino acids, are transported from the leaves to other parts of the plant through the pholem tissie
