| 4867994764 | Solute/osmotic potential | The proportion of the number of dissolved molecules to the solute-the more moleceules means a negative solute potential | 8 | |
| 4868008699 | Pressure potential | The physical pressure on a solution | 9 | |
| 4868012030 | Turgor pressure | The pressure exerted by the plasma membrane against the cell wall and the cell wall against the protoplast | 10 | |

| 4868133687 | Apoplast | Movement of material through the continuum of cell walls and extracellular spaces (through and between cells) | 12 | |
| 4868145050 | Phloem | Sieve tubes- Tubes for the movement of sugars | 13 | |
| 4868148696 | Endodermis | The inner most layer of cells in the root cortex-This surrounds the vascular cylinder, the xylem, and the phloem and is the last "checkpoint" | 14 | |
| 4868162806 | Casperian strip | The waxy wall that blocks apoplastic transfer of minerals from the cortex to the vascular cylinder | 15 | |
| 4868202546 | Root pressure | Pressure generated by water flowing in from the root cortex | 16 | |

| 4868316400 | Translocation | The products of photosynthesis are transported through the phloem to various parts of the plant | 26 | |
| 4868326038 | Phloem sap | An aqueous solution that is high in sucrose | 27 | |
