10/20 Plant Anatomy Flashcards
plants organized in what?
hierarchy
root is the same as what in a human?
heart
tissue is the same as what in a human?
muscle tissue
organs
composed of several types of tissues that carry out a particular function.
tissue
composed of a group of cells with a common function and structure
what are the three basic plant organs?
roots, stems and leaves
shoot system needs….
water and minerals
root system needs….
photosynthetic products from shoot sys
monocots
have one cotyledon
dicots
have two cotyledon
what are the 3 types of tissues?
dermal, vascular and ground
dermal tissue fx?
protects against dehydration, insects, animals, and pathogens
epidermis
one single layer
waxy coating on leaves and stems
cuticle
fx of cuticle
prevent dehydration and pathogens
stomata
tiny openings on leafs that allows plants to breathe
vascular tissue transport materials between what?
leafs and roots (photosynthetic products)
xylem
transports water and dissolves minerals
phloem
transport organic nutrients (sugars)
cell wall
made up of cellulose
chloroplast
photosynthesis
central vacuole
filled up with water (firmness) makes up cell rigid
root
have vascular tissue in the center (pith)
Stem
have vascular tissue in the edges “ring” (cortex)
plant cells have 3 unique parts
chloroplast, the sites of photosynthesis, central vacuole
