Botany (Plant Biology)

Phototropism refers to the growth of a plant in response to the direction of light.
The primary functions of roots are to anchor the plant in the soil, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and store food reserves.
Xylem is the vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the stems and leaves.
The phloem is the vascular tissue that transports food (sugars) produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
The three main parts of a flower are the sepals, petals, and reproductive parts (stamens and carpels).
Seeds contain an embryo and food storage tissue, allowing them to disperse and give rise to new plants.
Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor from the stomata on their leaves.
The three main groups plants are classified into are bryophytes (mosses), pteridophytes (ferns), and spermatophytes (seed plants).
Plant ecology is the study of the interactions between plants and their physical and biotic environment.
The structural tissue in plants that provides rigidity and support is the sclerenchyma tissue, such as fibers and sclereids.
Stomata are the tiny pores on the surfaces of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapor.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of a plant to the stigma, facilitating fertilization.
The main functions of the stem are to provide support, transport water and nutrients, and bear leaves and flowers.
Nutrient assimilation is the process by which plants convert inorganic nutrients from the soil into organic compounds they can use.
Taxonomy is the study of classifying organisms into groups based on their similarities and evolutionary relationships.
Root hairs are tiny projections from epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption of water and minerals.
Plant signaling refers to the mechanisms by which plants perceive and respond to environmental signals like light, hormones, etc.
Statoliths are specialized structures in plants that allow them to detect gravity and grow their stems upwards (gravitropism).
Stomatal regulation refers to the opening and closing of stomata to control the exchange of gases and transpiration.
Plant defense mechanisms include physical and chemical adaptations that protect plants from pathogens, herbivores, and environmental stresses.
The main functions of leaves are photosynthesis, transpiration, and gas exchange.
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas is converted into ammonia or other molecules that can be used by plants.
Trichomes are small hairs or scales that cover the surfaces of some plant parts, providing protection or other functions.
Plant anatomy is the study of the internal structure, organization, and tissues of plants.
Pollen grains are the tiny reproductive units that contain the male gametes of seed plants.
Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and develops into a seedling and eventually a mature plant.
The two main groups of seed plants are gymnosperms (e.g. conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants).
The embryo is the part of the seed that contains the partially developed plant and will grow into the new plant.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose.
Ovules are the reproductive units in flowering plants that contain the female gametes or egg cells.
The main mechanism for plants to obtain nutrients is through the roots via diffusion and an active transport process.
Respiration is the process by which plants release the oxygen produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Collenchyma is the flexible structural tissue that provides mechanical support in non-woody, herbaceous plants.
Stomata are the small pores primarily on the underside of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases like CO2 and O2.
Stamens are the male reproductive organs of a flower that produce pollen grains containing the male gametes.
Translocation is the process by which organic and inorganic materials are transported within a plant.
Root hairs are the tiny projections from epidermal cells of roots that increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption.
The vascular cambium is the lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth and production of woody tissue in plants.
Stomata are the small pores or openings on the surfaces of leaves and stems that allow gas exchange between the plant and atmosphere.
Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water vapor from the surfaces of leaves and stems.
The carpel or pistil contains the ovules, which develop into seeds after fertilization in flowering plants.
Guard cells surround stomata and control their opening and closing to regulate gas exchange and water loss.
Nutrient and water transport is the process by which plants distribute essential compounds through vascular tissues like xylem and phloem.
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose and other organic compounds.
