2nd week - Chapter 24 - 27 Plants

Waxy, protective coating on the outer surface of the epidermis of most fruits, stems, and leaves; adaptation that helps prevent water loss.

• leaf

• cuticle

• sepal

• phloem

Plant organ that provides a surface area for trapping sunlight and exchanging gases through stomata during photosynthesis.

• stomata

• guard cell

• leaf

• vascular plant

Plants that lack vascular tissue to efficiently transport water and nutrients, limiting their size and distribution.

• phloem

• xylem

• leaf

• nonvascular plant

Openings in a leaf’s epidermis that release water and oxygen to the air and take in oxygen and carbon dioxide for respiration and photosynthesis.

• ptiole

• cuticle

• stomata

• vascular plant

Plants that contain vascular tissues specially adapted to transport water and dissolved materials, enabling taller growth and survival in land habitats.

• vascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

• cuticle

In vascular plants, the tissue composed of living tubular cells joined end to end in a series, conducts sugars from the leaves to all plant parts.

• stomata

• cuticle

• petiole

• phloem

In vascular plants, conducts water and dissolved minerals upward from the plant roots to the leaves.

• cambium

• petiole

• cuticle

• xylem

Mytotic growth layer in vascular plants; produces xylem and phloem cells can result in secondary growth.

• epidermis

• cambium

• peiole

• cuticle

In plants, the outermost layer of cells of the plant body; also forms hairs on the plant’s surfaces.

• cuticle

• waxy

• peiole

• epidermis

Pairs of modified cells of the leaf epidermis that control the opening and closing of stomatal pores.

• guard cells

• peiole

• cuticle

• epidermis
