 1. 

a transport protein in the plasma membranes of a plant or animal cell that specifically facilitates the diffusion of water across the membrane
 

 2. 

a physiological cycle of about 24 hours, present in all eukaryotic organisms, that persists even in the absence of external cues
 

 3. 

the production of ATP using the energy of hydrogen-ion gradients across membranes to phosphorylate ADP
 

 4. 

the coupling of the “downhill” diffusion of one substance to the “uphill” transport of another against its own concentration gradient
 

 5. 

the innermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos
 

 6. 

in plants, the nonliving continuuum formed by the extracellular pathway provided by the continuous matrix of cell walls
 

 7. 

the exudation of water droplets caused by root pressure in certain plants
 

 8. 

a unit of pressure equivalent to 10 atmospheres of pressure
 

 9. 

mutualistic associations of plant roots and fungi
 

 10. 

the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
 

 11. 

the force directed against a cell wall after the influx of water and the swelling of a walled cell due to osmosis
 

 12. 

plants adapted to arid climate
 

 13. 

in plants, the continuum of cytoplasm connected by plasmodesmata between cells
 

 14. 

a type of mycorrhizae that unlike ectomycorrhizae, do not have a dense mantle ensheathing the root; instead, microscopic fungal hyphae extend from the root into the soil
 

 15. 

elements required by plants and animals in relatively large amounts
 

 16. 

a type of mycorrhizae in which the mycelium forms a dense sheath, or mantle, over the surface of the root; hyphae extended from the mantle into the soil, greatly increasing the surface area for water and mineral absorption
 

 17. 

elements required by plants and animals in very small amounts
 

 18. 

an emerging, non-destructive technology that seeks to cheaply reclaim contaminated areas by taking advantage of the remarkable ability of some plant species to extract heavy metals and other pollutants from the soil and to concentrate them in easily harvested portions of the plant
