Openings on the undersideof leaves through whichwater is released into the

atmosphere

What are stomata?

Category 1Question 1

The loss of water in liquid form from an uninjured

leaf or stem

What is guttation?

Category 1Question 2

The amount of moisture inthe atmosphere that comesfrom plants’ transpiration

What is 10%?

Category 1Question 3

The coolest scienceteacher ever

Who is Mrs. Fritton?

Category 1Question 4

The amount of water a largeoak tree can transpire

in just one year

What is 40,000 gsllons?

Category 1Question 5

Plants transpire more rapidly in this as it

stimulates the openingof the stomata

What is light?

Category 2Question 1

Transpiration ratesincrease when this

increases; stomata tend to close when it decreases

What is temperature?

Category 2Question 2

As this characteristic ofthe air rises, transpiration

rates fall

What is relative humidity?

Category 2Question 3

Movement of this canresult in higher levels of

transpiration

What is air (i.e. wind!)?

Category 2Question 4

The premature aging ofa plant, can result in

leaf loss

What is senesce?

Category 2Question 5

A plant’s responseto light

What is a phototropism?

Category 3Question 1

A plant’s responseto gravity

What is a geotropism?

Category 3Question 2

A plant’s responseto water

What is a hydrotropism?

Category 3Question 3

A plant’s responseto touch

What is a thigmotropism?

Category 3Question 4

If a plant grows toward astimulus, it is showing

this type of tropism

What is a positive one?

Category 3Question 5

Vascular tissue throughwhich nutrients travel downward through a

plant’s stem

What is phloem?

Category 4Question 1

Vascular tissue throughwhich nutrients travel upward through a plant

What is xylem?

Category 4Question 2

Organs where a plant’sfood is made, also

allow for exchange ofgases and water

What are leaves?

Category 4Question 3

These absorb nutrientsand help anchor a plant

in the ground

What are roots?

Category 4Question 4

Category 4Question 5

Can be herbaceous orwoody; provide support

for a plant

What is a stem?
