Document Summary

Cork: the outermost protective layer of a plants bark, produces by the cork cambium. Rays: a stream of material particles travelling in the same line. Bark: all the tissues external to the vascular cambium in a plant that is growing in thickness; made up of secondary phloem, cork cambium and cork. Transpiration: the evaporative loss of water from a plant. Stoma: a pore surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of a leaf. When stomata are open co2 enters a leaf and water and o2 exit. A plant conserves water when its stomata are closed. Tracheid: a tapered, porous, water-conducting and supportive cells in plants. Chains of tracheids or vessel elements make up the water- conducting, supportive tubes in xylem. Cohesion: the sticking together of the molecules of the same kind, often by hydrogen bonds. Guard cells: one of the paired cells in the epidermis of a plant that control the opening and closing of a stoma of a leaf.
