Key terms

  • phloem

    phloem is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain how phloem transports dissolved sugars for immediate use or storage..

  • Explain

    In AQA GCSE Biology, Explain means give a linked reason, mechanism, or cause-and-effect account rather than naming a fact. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Explain to support the objective to explain how phloem transports dissolved sugars for immediate use or storage. Related approved keywords for this objective include phloem. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • phloem

    phloem is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that phloem is made of elongated cells joined through pores in the end walls..

  • Explain

For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Explain to support the objective to explain that phloem is made of elongated cells joined through pores in the end walls. Related approved keywords for this objective include phloem. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • phloem

    phloem is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Recall that detailed phloem structure and transport mechanism are not required..

  • Recall

    In AQA GCSE Biology, Recall means retrieve the named fact, function, structure, or process accurately from memory. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Recall to support the objective to recall that detailed phloem structure and transport mechanism are not required. Related approved keywords for this objective include phloem. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • transpiration

    transpiration is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain how temperature, humidity, air movement and light intensity affect the rate of transpiration..

  • transpiration

    transpiration is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Measure transpiration rate by water uptake in a practical investigation..

  • Measure

    Measure is the specific term students must use accurately for this approved learning objective. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Measure to support the objective to measure transpiration rate by water uptake in a practical investigation. Related approved keywords for this objective include transpiration. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • guard cells

    guard cells is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Investigate the distribution of stomata and guard cells..

  • stomata

    In Plant organ system, stomata means stomata is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Investigate the distribution of stomata and guard cells. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use stomata to support the objective to investigate the distribution of stomata and guard cells. Related approved keywords for this objective include stomata, guard cells. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • stomata

    stomata is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Process data from stomata and transpiration investigations using means, sampling, surface area and volume..

  • transpiration

    In Plant organ system, transpiration means transpiration is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Process data from stomata and transpiration investigations using means, sampling, surface area and volume. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use transpiration to support the objective to process data from stomata and transpiration investigations using means, sampling, surface area and volume. Related approved keywords for this objective include transpiration, stomata. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • transpiration

    transpiration is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Use compound measures such as transpiration rate..

  • compound

    In Plant organ system, compound means compound is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Use compound measures such as transpiration rate. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use compound to support the objective to use compound measures such as transpiration rate. Related approved keywords for this objective include transpiration. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.

  • transpiration

    transpiration is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Translate, plot and interpret graphical and numerical data linked to transpiration..

  • Translate

    Translate is the specific term students must use accurately for this approved learning objective. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Translate to support the objective to translate, plot and interpret graphical and numerical data linked to transpiration. Related approved keywords for this objective include transpiration. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant organ system, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.
