Key Concepts

Transpiration

The process by which water is evaporated from plant surfaces, predominantly from leaves, creating a negative pressure that drives the upward movement of water and dissolved nutrients from the roots through the vascular system.

Translocation

The redistribution process of organic compounds, such as sugars produced during photosynthesis, throughout the plant via the phloem, facilitating energy distribution and metabolic regulation across various plant tissues.

Hydrogen bonds

Weak interactions between water molecules that contribute to the cohesive properties of water, enabling it to move effectively through the plant’s vascular system, especially under the influence of transpiration.

Nutrient

Essential elements or compounds that plants require for their growth, development, and metabolic processes; these can include minerals, water, and other chemical substances obtained primarily from the soil.

Sink

Specific tissues or organs in a plant, such as fruits or roots, that accumulate and store the products of photosynthesis like sugars, thereby serving as areas where energy and building materials are consumed or stored.

Root system

The below-ground part of a plant responsible for anchorage, water absorption, and uptake of minerals and nutrients from the soil, which is fundamental to overall plant nutrition and stability.

Stomata

Small openings on the surfaces of leaves and stems that facilitate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter for photosynthesis and water vapor to exit, thus balancing water loss and gas exchange critical to plant physiology.
