Question 6

Tap root systems

Answer 6

have primary and lateral root
primary: lengthens (main tap root that goes into ground)

Apical meristem

Answer 7

sight of mitosis on tips of roots and stem; Produces stems, leaves, and reproductive structures throughout the plant’s li

Question 8

Root hairs

Answer 8

epidermal extensions of single cells
- increase surface area
-extra water and mineral absorption

Question 9

Shoot organs

Answer 9

stems and leaves
responsible for photosynthesis (via leaves), supporting the plant structure (via stems

Question 10

where bud and leaf are located

Question 12

Bud

Answer 12

future branches - share anatomy with main stem
always occur right above leafs

Answer 13

stem area between nodes

Question 14

cotyledon

Answer 14

the first part of an angiosperm, or flowering plant, to emerge from a seed and provide nutrients to the embryo (NOT leafs)

Question 15

Leafs

Answer 15

primary photosynthetic structure

Question 16
