Plant transport

8. A factor that decreases the rate of transpiration as the air is less able to accept water molecules
10. Lack transport material i.e Moss.
11. A factor that increases transpiration and removes water more quickly from the plant as the air keeps a high concentration gradient for water to be removed quickly.
13. the parts of the plant that are above the ground and are responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere and for carrying out photosynthesis.
14. complex carbohydrate found in the vascular tissue of plants that helps stengthen the plant structure.
15. The property that draws nearby water from the xylem to replace water lost through transpiration.
16. pore that allows for the release or entry of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) to or from the leaf, involved in water loss.
17. A factor that when increases, it increases the rate of evaporation and the molecules move faster, hence transpiring faster.

1. the continuous column of water that forms inside the xylem as a result of evaporative water loss through the leaves
2. any land plant that transports water and nutrients through a specialised system of tissue
3. Responsible for transporting sugar throughout the plant.
4. A factor that increases transpiration as light makes the stomata open.
5. evaporative water loss through plant leaves that result in the movement of water through the plant.
6. the parts of the plant that lie below the surface of the soil and are responsible for providing a constant supply of water and minerals to the stems and leaves
7. The property that ensures water sticks to other surfaces, such as cells of the xylem.
9. Elongated structures that grow from root cells and maximise absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
12. A component of vascular tissue responsible for the distribution of water upward from the roots
