Plant Vocab

3. plant part that moves water up through a plant; uses passive transport
7. word used to describe how a plant gets its sugars (HINT: a word with "trophs")
8. plant hormone that stimulates creation of various defenses (chemical and physical barriers)
9. plant hormone that stimulates fruit ripening and leaf abscission
11. photosynthesis mechanism that works best in hot, humid climates and modifications include physically separating where the carbon fixation and Calvin cycle stages occur in the cell
13. plants have this, which indicates that they have both haploid and diploid stages within their own lifecycle, also known as the sporophyte and gametophyte stages
14. photosynthesis mechanism that works best in temperate climate and has no modifications to the "basic" form of photosynthesis
15. plant hormone that stimulates flowering and fruiting
16. plant hormone that stimulates germination
17. cell part that provides storage and structural support

1. cell part that helps structurally support the plant
2. the haploid stage of a plant's lifecycle (which plants are ____ dominant?)
4. cell part with many functions, but includes chloroplasts and amyloplasts as a "type" of this
5. plant part where plants do gas exchange
6. plant part that moves water and nutrients up and down through a plant; uses active transport (sometimes passive)
8. plant part that allows horizontal growth of a plant
10. the diploid stage of a plant's lifecycle (which plants are ____ dominant?)
12. plant part that allows vertical growth of a plant
14. cell part where photosynthesis occurs (HINT: full of thylakoid stacks)
18. photosynthesis mechanism that works best in hot, dry climates and modifications include separating the timing of gas exchange and photosynthesis
