Q

DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURE OF EPIDERMAL TISSUES.

A
  • Layer the outermost surface of stems leaves and roots of young plants

Q

VASCULAR TISSUES CONSIST OF XYLEM AND PHLOEM.COMPARE THE STRUCTURE OF XYLEM AND THE STRUCTURE OF PHLOEM.

A

XYLEM:
•made up of dead cells without cytoplasm
•cell wall of xylem contains Lignin
•Consists of xylem vessels that are elongated,hollow and connected to each other from its roots to the leaves

PHLOEM:
•made of companion cells and sieve tubes
•made of living cells (sieve tubes) with presence of cytoplasm
-Sieve tubes arranged from end to end forming elongated and continous tube structures

19
Q

THERE ARE UNDIFFERENTIATED LIVING TISSUES IN PLANTS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANT GROWTH.THESE TISSUES ARE KNOWN AS ________________.

A

-meristematic tissues

20
Q

MERISTEMATIC TISSUES ARE ACTIVELY DIVIDING BY____________.

A

Mitosis

21
Q

WHERE IS THE APICAL MERISTEM TISSUES LOCATED AT?

23
Q

WHAT ARE THE THREE ZONES OF CELL GROWTH?

A
  • Cell division

  • cell differentiation
24
Q

THE GROWTH THAT HAPPENS IN THESE ZONES IS THE _________ FOR PLANTS.

A

Primary growth

25
Q

WHERE DOES THE CELL DIVISION STARTED?

A

At the apical meristems which consist of actively dividing meristem cells through mitosis

26
Q

IN THE ZONE OF CELL DIVISION, THE INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF CELLS CAUSES______________.

A

The elongation of plant stem

27
Q

STILL BASED ON CELL DIVISION, WHEN NEW CELLS ARE FORMING, THE CELLS FORMED PREVIOUSLY ARE _________.

A

pushed to zone of cell elongation

28
Q

THE ZONE OF CELL ELONGATION CONSISTS OF____________.

A

Cells that are increasing in size

29
Q

HOW DOES THE INCREASE IN SIZE HAPPENS? (CELL ELONGATION)

A

-Through water diffusion by osmosis and absorption of nutrients into the cells and stored in the vacuoles

30
Q

DEFINE VACUOLATION.

A

Process where small vacuoles fuse to form a large vacuole.

31
Q

AT THE ZONE OF CELL ELONGATION, THE DIFFUSED WATER EXERTS____________ AGAINST THE CELL WALL WHICH __________

A
  • pressure

* pushes, elongates and widens the cell

32
Q

THE ZONE OF CELL DIFFERENTIATION CONSISTS OF DIFFERENTIATING CELLS THAT DIFFERENTIATE ONCE THEY HAVE REACHED THEIR ___________

A

Maximum size

33
Q

CELLS DIFFERENTIATE TO FORM________

A

Permanent tissues such as epidermis, cortex, xylem and phloem.

34
Q

AT ZONE OF DIFFERENTIATION, THE CELLS CHANGE THEIR ________ AND ________TO BECOME SPECIALISED CELLS WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS

A

FOR EXAMPLE: epidermal cells differentiate—->guard cells that control opening and closing of stoma.

  • shape
  • structures

Epidermal cells in roots differentiate——->Root Hair Cells

35
Q

NAME TWO TYPES OF GROWTH IN PLANTS.

A

PRIMARY GROWTH AND SECONDARY GEOWTH.
