Anatomy Of Flowering Plants Flashcards
1
Q
Tissue
A
- group of cells
- common origin and function
2
Q
Two types of plant tissue
A
- Meristematic tissue
- Permanent tissue
3
Q
Which basis plant tissue is classified?
A
Whether the cel being formed are capable of dividing or not
4
Q
Regions of active cell division in plants
A
Meristems
5
Q
Different kinds of meristems in plants are
A
- Apical meristem
- Internally meristem
- Secondary / lateral meristem
6
Q
Apical meristem
A
- occur at tips of roots and shoots
- produce primary tissue
- a.k.a primary meristem
7
Q
Two types of apical meristem
A
- Root apical meristem
- Shoot apical meristem
8
Q
Auxiliary bud
A
- some cells left behind from shoot apical meristem during formation of leaves and elongation of stem
- capable of forming a branch or flower if it present in the axile of leaves
9
Q
intercalary meristem
A
- occurs between mature tissues
- in grasses, regenerate part removed by grazers
- a.k.a primary meristem
10
Q
Primary meristem
A
- appear early in life of a plant
- contribute in the formation of the primary plant body
11
Q
Secondary meristem
A
- occurs in mature regions of roots and shoots
- appear later than primary meristem
- produce woody axis
- a.k.a cylindrical meristem
12
Q
Examples of secondary meristem
A
1.Fascicular vascular cambium
2. Interfascicular cambium
3. Cork cambium
- these are responsible for producing the secondary tissue
13
Q
Permanent/ mature cell
A
In both primary and secondary meristem, the newly formed cell become structurally and functionally specialized and lose ability to divide.
14
Q
Permanent tissues
A
- cells don’t generally divide
15
Q
Types of permanent tissue
A
- Simple tissue
- Complex tissue
