vocabulary list
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| Stem | Stem: The main body of a plant that supports branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits, conducting water and nutrients. |
| Root | The root is the underground part of a plant that anchors it to the ground, absorbs water and nutrients. |
| Leaf | A leaf is a flattened, green structure attached to a plant stem, typically the primary site for photosynthesis and transpiration. |
| Node | A node in plant anatomy is the point on a stem where leaves, branches, or flowers are attached. It is a structural part. |
| Internode | An internode is the section of a plant stem located between two nodes where leaves, branches, or flowers can grow. |
| Epidermis | The outermost layer of cells in a plant, serving as a protective barrier against external factors such as pathogens and water loss. |
| Xylem | Xylem is a type of plant tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. |
| Phloem | Phloem is a complex tissue in plants that transports organic nutrients such as sugars and amino acids throughout the plant. |
| photosynthesis | Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose for energy. |
| transpiration | Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves into the atmosphere, helping to cool the plant. |
| stomata | Stomata are small pores found on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, allowing for photosynthesis and transpiration. |
| chlorophyll | Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts of plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis, converting it into energy. |
| respiration | Respiration in Plant Physiology refers to the process where plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide to produce energy. |
| nutrient uptake | Nutrient uptake in Plant Physiology refers to the process by which plants absorb essential nutrients from the soil for growth. |
| translocation | Translocation in Plant Physiology refers to the process of movement of nutrients and other substances through the plant's vascular system. |
| taxonomy | Taxonomy in plant taxonomy refers to the science of identifying, classifying, and naming plants based on their characteristics and relationships. |
| botany | Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their classification, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution within the field of biology. |
| species | Species in plant taxonomy refers to a group of individuals that can reproduce among themselves and produce fertile offspring. |
| genus | Genus refers to a rank in the classification system of plants, grouping closely related species with similar characteristics. |
| family | Family in Plant Taxonomy refers to a group of plants that share similar characteristics and are classified together. |
| classification | Classification in plant taxonomy refers to the systematic arrangement of plants into groups based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. |
| phylogenetics | Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationships among plant species, based on genetic similarities and differences in their DNA sequences. |
| plant community | A plant community is a group of plant species that interact with each other and their environment in a specific area. |
| ecosystem | An ecosystem is a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms interacting with each other and their physical environment. |
| habitat | Habitat refers to the specific environment where a plant species naturally grows and thrives, including its physical and biological characteristics. |
| biodiversity | Biodiversity in plant ecology refers to the variety of plant species within a specific ecosystem or habitat. |
| species richness | Species richness refers to the number of different plant species present in a specific area or ecosystem. |
| photosynthesis | Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose. |
| competition | Competition in Plant Ecology refers to the struggle between plants for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients. |
| adaptation | Adaptation in Plant Ecology refers to the process by which plants evolve characteristics to survive and thrive in their environment. |
| Genetics | Genetics in Plant Genetics refers to the study of genes, heredity, and variation in plants to understand their traits and characteristics. |
| Genome | Genome in plant genetics refers to the complete set of genes present in a plant species, including both nuclear and organelle DNA. |
| Genetic variation | Genetic variation in plant genetics refers to the differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a plant species. |
| Genetic engineering | Genetic engineering in plant genetics is the manipulation of an organism's DNA to create desired traits in plants. |
| Gene expression | Gene expression in plant genetics refers to the process by which information encoded in genes is used to produce proteins. |
| Genetic modification | Genetic modification in plant genetics refers to the process of altering the DNA of a plant to introduce specific traits. |
| Phenotype | Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of a plant, resulting from its genetic makeup interacting with environmental factors. |
| Genotype | Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of a plant, representing the specific combination of alleles present in its DNA. |
| Plant Biotechnology | Plant biotechnology is the use of scientific techniques to manipulate plant cells and genes for agricultural, medical, or environmental purposes. |
| Genetic engineering | Genetic engineering in plant biotechnology involves modifying the genetic material of plants to improve traits such as yield or resistance. |
| Transgenic plants | Transgenic plants are genetically modified plants that have had genes from another species inserted into their DNA for specific traits. |
| Biotechnology | Biotechnology in Plant Biotechnology refers to the use of genetic engineering and molecular biology techniques to improve plant traits. |
| GMOs | GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are plants that have had their genetic material altered through biotechnology techniques for specific traits. |
| Gene editing | Gene editing in plant biotechnology refers to the precise modification of a plant's genetic material to achieve desired traits. |
| Plant tissue culture | Plant tissue culture is a technique used to propagate plants in a controlled, sterile environment by culturing plant cells or tissues. |
| Plant transformation | Plant transformation in Plant Biotechnology refers to the genetic modification of plants using techniques like gene insertion or editing. |
