Plant Physiology

3. Cell structure where photosynthesis takes place.
4. Type of protein that transports ions across plant cell membranes.
7. Microscopic openings in the root epidermis that allow for gas exchange.
9. Tissue responsible for transporting sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant.
11. Type of photosynthetic plant adapted to high-light, low-water conditions, like maize.
13. Proteins that facilitate the movement of water across membranes.
14. Gas exchange openings on leaves.
16. Pathway of carbon fixation used by plants in hot, dry environments.
18. Mineral essential for the formation of ATP, DNA, and cell membranes.
21. Deficiency symptom includes interveinal chlorosis in older leaves.
23. Process of splitting water molecules during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
24. Complex of proteins and pigments in chloroplasts that capture light energy during photosynthesis.
26. Essential nutrient for chlorophyll synthesis, often deficient in yellowing leaves.
27. Process describing the loss of water vapor through plant leaves.
28. Tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients from roots to other parts of the plant.
29. Microscopic channels allowing transport and communication between plant cells.
30. Type of cell division responsible for plant growth and repair.

1. Enzyme involved in carbon fixation in C4 and CAM plants, capturing CO2 to form a four-carbon compound.
2. Process of moving water across semipermeable membrane
5. Enzyme involved in carbon fixation during the Calvin cycle in C3 plants.
6. Gas used by plants during photosynthesis to produce sugars.
8. Movement of water through plants, from roots to leaves, and into the atmosphere.
10. Mutually beneficial relationship between plant roots and fungi for nutrient uptake.
12. Macronutrient responsible for enzyme activation, protein synthesis, and metabolism.
15. Main sugar produced during photosynthesis, used as energy.
17. Carbon fixation process where oxygen competes with CO2, reducing photosynthesis efficiency.
19. Network of vessels and tissues that forms the plant's circulatory system.
20. Process plants use to convert sunlight into energy.
22. Type of ion actively transported into roots for nutrient uptake.
25. Site of carbon fixation in the C4 pathway, where initial CO2 capture happens.
