*Turgor Pressure is used to maintain rigid stems by absorbing water and expanding the vacuoles in the cells and pushing against the cell walls to make it rigid.
* Transpiration is when water vapor is lost from the leaves by opening of the stomata.
* Vascular Tissue in plants are what allow them to move water and food throughout the plant.
* Xylem is a tissue that is made of dead cells and transport water up the roots to the leaves by using adhesions.
* Phloem is another type of vascular tissue that only transports food is made of living cells because it needs to be able to ship food up or down the plant.
* Stomata are pores with guard cells that can close or open allowing carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen out of the plant.
* The soil contributes to the growth of the plant because all the nutrients are found there and water as well.
* Casparian Strip is used to block passive transport of materials to other parts of the plants.
