Plant Processes

2. cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for acquisition of nutrients
11. how plants absorb water from soil
12. the water movement through a plant
13. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organism
14. membrane permits passage of water and certain substances in solution
15. plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support

1. the removal of energy or particles from a beam by the medium through which the beam propagates
3. the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances
4. layer of cells covering the stem, root, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed parts of a plant
5. the soft chlorophyll-containing tissue of a leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis: involved in photosynthesis
6. a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms
7. the site of photosynthesis
8. tissue of unspecialized cells lying between the epidermis (surface cells) and the vascular, or conducting, tissues of stems and roots
9. tissues in plants that conduct foods made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant
10. a tiny pore in the surface of a leaf that is used for gas exchange
