Cards in this deck (11)
- 1Guard CellsFound on either side of the stoma; they control gas exchange in leaves by controlling opening and closing of the stoma.
- 2LigninCarbohydrate material lining the xylem vessels and providing strength and support.
- 3MineralsNutrient ions essential for healthy growing.
- 4PhloemVessels in plant that transport sugars.
- 5Root epidermisOuter layer of cells of a root.
- 6Root hair cellSpecialised cell that increases the surface area of the root epidermis to improve the uptake of water and minerals.
- 7Spongy mesophyllPlant leaf tissue with loosely pack cells and air spaces between them to allow gas exchange.
- 8StomataTiny pores in the leaf epidermis that allow gas exchange.
- 9TransipartionEvaporation of water through the stomata of the leaves
- 10Vascular tissuePlant tissue consisting of phloem and xylem that transports material in plant.
- 11Xylem vesselsNarrow, dead tubes with lignin in their walls for the transport of water and minerals in plants.
