  • Stomata are small openings on leaves that allow gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter or exit the plant.
  • The guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata, which helps regulate water loss from the plant.
  • Plant roots absorb nutrients and water from soil through tiny root hairs.
  • Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals upwards within plants.
  • Phloem transports synthesized food substances from one part to another part
  • Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color and absorbs light energy during photosynthesis
  • Leaves contain chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs
  • Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants
  • stomata are pores in the epidermis of the leaves and stems
  • A pair of guard cells bound each stoma
  • Stomata allow gases to diffuse in and out of the leaf
  • The necessary factors for photo synthesis are sunlight,water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll
  • Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
  • Phloem consists mainly sieve tubes
  • Xylem consists mainly of vessels
  • Sieve tube cells have no nucleus or other organelles except plasmodesmata
