PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

3. it is the effect of light scattering on particles in colloid systems, such as suspensions or emulsions
5. disacharride, condensation product of glucose and fructose
7. site of protein synthesis
11. one of the factors affecting diffusion: the rate at which a substance (gas) will diffuse increases with temperature
12. a micronutrient that is involved in a nitrogen reduction
13. small particles suspended In water with sometimes glue-like consistency smaller than “suspension” particles and larger than true solute particles
15. the movement of atoms or molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
16. transpiration occurring in the stomata of the leaves
17. the process whereby water from the cytoplasm of cells is removed causing the cytoplasm to shrink
19. defined as a community of plants dominated by trees
20. a special type of diffusion; the net movement of water is along a diffusion gradient.

1. complex molecules of high molecular weight composed of a large number of monosaccharide joined through glycosidic bonds; insoluble in water and lack sweetness
2. type of collenchyma cell thickened at intercellular contact points
4. the release of an adsorbed substance from a surface
6. the process by which food and nutrient are moved from one plant to another
8. a special type of diffusion which is usually the movement of water through a differentially permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
9. major tissue that is for the transport of water and minerals
10. fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast
14. a type of mechanism that does not require expenditure of metabolic energy
18. cells dead at maturity
