A part of a plant that produces organic compounds, like sugars, through photosynthesis or storage.

A part of a plant that receives organic compounds from a source.

The movement of organic compounds, like sugars, within a plant from a source to a sink.

A model explaining how sugars move within plants, driven by a pressure gradient created by water movement.

The process of moving organic compounds across cell membranes against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

The outermost layer of a plant, forming a protective skin. In non-woody plants, it's called the epidermis. It has a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss.

The bulk of a plant's non-woody parts (roots, stems, leaves). It stores water, sugars, and starches. In leaves, it's specialized for photosynthesis.

A network of tubes that transport water, minerals, and organic compounds throughout a plant. It includes xylem and phloem.

The protective outer layer of the dermal tissue in non-woody plants. It's like a single layer of skin cells.

A waterproof layer on the epidermis of stems and leaves that prevents water loss.

Several layers of dead cells in the dermal tissue of woody plants. It's waterproof and protects the plant.

One of the two types of vascular tissue. Transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.

One of the two types of vascular tissue. Transports sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant.

Roots that grow from aboveground stems or leaves, like prop roots of corn or aerial roots of orchids.

A root has a central core of vascular tissue surrounded by ground tissue called the cortex, and is covered by dermal tissue.

Slender projections of the cell membrane that extend from the epidermis just behind a root tip, greatly increasing the surface area for water and nutrient absorption.

A mass of cells that covers and protects the actively growing root tip.

Stems that become hard and woody due to layers of xylem replacing ground tissue, found in trees and shrubs.

Flexible, usually green stems found in plants like violets and grasses, containing vascular bundles.

Stems with scattered vascular bundles within the ground tissue, like corn.

Stems with vascular bundles arranged in a ring, surrounded by ground tissue called cortex and pith.

The outer layer of wood in a woody stem containing active xylem cells that transport water.

The inner, older layer of wood in a woody stem, providing support but no longer transporting water.

The flattened portion of a leaf, responsible for photosynthesis.

The stalk that connects a leaf blade to the stem.

A leaf with a single, undivided blade.

A leaf with two or more leaflets attached to a common stalk.

The ground tissue of a leaf, containing chloroplasts and responsible for photosynthesis.

A loosely packed layer of spherical cells found beneath the palisade layer in a leaf. It contains many air spaces allowing for gas exchange.

Tiny pores on the surface of a leaf that connect the air spaces within the spongy layer to the outside air. They allow for gas exchange.

The attraction between water molecules that helps pull water up through the xylem.

Two cells that surround a stoma, responsible for opening and closing the stoma based on water pressure.

The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment, despite changes in the external environment.

A type of xylem cell found in all vascular plants, characterized by long, narrow, tapered cells with pits that allow water flow.

A wider type of xylem cell found in gnetophytes and flowering plants, with large perforations at their ends for faster water transport.

The conducting strand in phloem, made of cells with pores connecting their cytoplasms for nutrient transport.

Cells that support sieve-tube cells by carrying out metabolic functions like respiration and protein synthesis.

A root system with a single main root from which smaller roots branch out, found in dicots.

A root system with many branching roots of equal size, found in monocots.
