AgBio: Roots and Osmosis

2. - A single, large central root commonly found in plants like carrots.
5. - Property of a membrane that allows substances to pass through.
7. - Tiny hair-like extensions from the root increasing surface area for absorption.
8. - Symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots.
10. - Characteristic of membranes that allow certain substances to pass through.
11. - Attracted to water, a property important for cell membranes in roots.
12. - Solution with a lower solute concentration outside the root cells.
13. - Growth of a plant in response to gravity, seen in root orientation.
15. - Thick, swollen roots that store nutrients, like those in beets.
16. - Solution with a higher solute concentration outside the root cells.

1. - Vascular tissue that transports water from roots to different plant parts.
3. - The growing region at the tips of roots and shoots in plants.
4. - Solution where the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the root cells.
5. - Vascular tissue that carries nutrients throughout the plant.
6. - Network of thin roots spreading out horizontally.
9. - The process of introducing air into soil, crucial for roots.
14. - Movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high.
