Plant Process

3. the inner tissue (parenchyma) of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts
7. an outer layer of tissue immediately below the epidermis of a stem or root.
8. A tiny pore in a plant leaf surrounded by a pair of guard cells that regulate its opening and closure, and serves as the site for gas exchange.
10. movement of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane
11. The process of absorbing or assimilating substances into cells or across the tissues and organs through diffusion or osmosis
12. the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves
13. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
14. the outer layer of tissue in a plant, except where it is replaced by periderm

1. a process in living organisms involving the production of energy
2. the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
4. A membrane that permits passage of water and certain substances in solution
5. the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata
6. each of a large number of elongated microscopic outgrowths from the outer layer of cells in a root, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the soil.
7. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
9. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
