Vocabulary Chapter 18 The Flowering Plant: Form and Function transpiration The process in which water evaporates through plants Example: Transpiration caused the plant to wilt. petiole The small structure that attaches a leaf to the stem of a plant Example: Please pick the leaf off at the petiole. succulent A type of plant with a thick stem for storing water Example: Stonecrops are succulent plants found in the wild. guard cells A pair of cells that surround an opening (stomata) in the surface of a leaf. Example: Guard cells control the flow of gases in and out of the leaf. photosynthesis A process in which green plants use light to recombine compounds to produce simple sugars (food) Example: Photosynthesis produces food for the plant to use. herbaceous A non-woody type of plant Examples: violets, lettuce, celery, grass bud A small unopened group of leaves xylem A conducting tissue in plants in which water and nutrients move up the stems to the leaves from the roots Example: The woody part of trees manufactured into lumber phloem A conducting tissue in plants in which manufactured foods (primarily sugars) move throughout the plant bulb A specialized underground plant food storage structure Examples: onions, daffodil bulbs, garlic leaf The flattened food-producing parts of a plant Examples: lettuce, spinach root The anchoring and nutrient and water collecting part of the plant cohesion tension A process by which water is raised upwards in a plant root hairs Tiny one-celled extensions of the root systems cotyledon The seed leaves which are the first to emerge from a germinating seed cambium The living part of a plant stem embryo A tiny miniature plant found in a seed ray cell A plant cell which conducts water and nutrients between cells as opposed to up and down the plant meristem Rapidly growing plant cells
