684156024NO3- (nitrate)A H+ cotransporter is used to transport what ion into the cell?29
684156026transmembranewater and solutes move out of one cell, make cytoplasmic contact, cross the cell wall, and into the neighboring cell.30
684156027aquaporinsa transport protein in the plasma membrane of a plant or animal cell that specifically facilitates in water permeability31
684156028Casparian stripa belt in plant xylem made of waxy material impervious to water and dissolved minerals32
684156029casparian stripprevents back flow of minerals out of xylem33
684156030symplastwater and solutes move along the continuum of cytosol34
684156031symplastprovides direct access to xylem35
684156032adhesionoffsets the downward force of gravity36
684156033guttationaccumulation of minerals in the xylem that causes the exudation of water droplets37
684156034surface tensionphenomenon at the surface of a liquid caused by the cohesion of water molecules38
684156035high water lossIf a plant has 15,000 open stomata comapred to the normal 5,000, the plant will have high water loss or low water loss?39

684156037low CO2If a stomata is open, it is assumed that there is a high amount of CO2 or low amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?41
684156038nightStomata are closed more often at night or daytime?42
684156039translocationthe transport of the products of photosynthesis by the phloem43
