A layer of dividing cells	Meristem	43%
Gaps in the cell wall containing cytoplasm that connects two cells	Plasmodesmata	38%
A part of the plant where assimilates are removed from the transport system	Sink	38%
A part of the plant that loads materials into the transport system	Source	38%
A plant adapted to living in dry conditions	Xerophyte	38%
A plant adapted to living in water or where the ground is very wet	Hydrophyte	29%
Make up the tubes in phloem tissue that carry sap up and down the plant	Sieve tube elements	19%
Consists of cells specialised for transporting fluids	Vascular tissue	19%
The tubes which carry water up the plant	Xylem vessels	19%
Substances that have become a part of the plant	Assimilates	14%
The transport of assimilates throughout a plant	Translocation	14%
Plants with two seed leaves and a branching pattern of veins in the leaf	Dicotyledonous plants	0%
Water passes through the spaces in the cell walls and between the cells, but does not pass through any plasma membranes into the cells	The apoplast pathway	0%
Water enters the cell cytoplasm through the plasma membrane	The symplast pathway	0%
Water is not confined to the cytoplasm of the cells and is able to enter and pass through the vacuoles as well	The vacuolar pathway	0%
