absorption

the process of absorbing or assimilating substances into cells

or across the tissues and organs through diffusion or osmosis.

adhesion

The force of attraction between unlike

molecules.

cambium tissue
tissues that is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots
secondary growth occurs after the first season and results in increase in
thickness.

cohesion

sticking together of alike

molecules.

cones
the dry fruit of a conifer, typically tapering to a rounded end and formed of
a tight array of overlapping scales on a central axis that separate to release
the seeds.
dermal tissue

a thin layer of cells covering the soft parts of a

plant.

flower

is the reproductive structure found in

plants.

fruit

is the seed-bearing structure in flowering

plants.

ground tissue

The tissue of a plant other than the epidermis,

periderm, and vascular tissues.

guard cells

paired cells in the epidermis of a plant that control

the opening and closing of a stomata of a leaf.
 leaves

lateral structure attached to a stem and functions

for photosynthesis and transpiration in most plants

meristematic tissue

tissue containing undifferentiated cells found in

zones of the plant where growth can take place.

ovary

the enlarged lower part of the

pistil

phloem

tissue that carries organic nutrients and

sugars.

photosynthesis
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods
from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment
chlorophyll and generates oxygen as the product.
 pistil

the female reproductive part of a flower,

located in the center of the flower.

pollen

grains that contain the male reproductive

cells.

pollination

the process by which pollen is transferred to the female reproductive

organs of a plant, thereby enabling fertilization to take place.

reproduction

the production of offspring by a sexual or

asexual process.

roots

the part of a plant that attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically

underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant.
 stamen

the male reproductive organ of a flower,

consists of the filament and the anther.

vascular tissue

consisting of phloem and xylem, by which water

and nutrients are conducted throughout the plant.
