Cell Division Growth And Development Flashcards
Growth Definition
Examples
Irreversible change in size, dry mass
Cell division
Cell enlargement
Development definition
Examples
Irreversible change in complexity and form
Differentiation to specialized cells
Seed Structure
Plumule - shoot
Radicle - root
Cotyledon - food
Micropyle - entry of water
Seed coat - protection
Hilum - scar
Seed Germination Requirements ×3
Water:
- Soften seed coat - swells cotyledon - Radicle emerge
- Enzymes
- Transport food
- Reactant - hydrolysis of food
Oxygen:
Respiration
Warmth:
Enzyme
Seed Germination Process ×5
Day 2 - Swells, Radicle burst
Day 3 - Root hair
Day 4 - Curved Plumule emerge - cotyledon lifted up to protect tip
Day 5 - plumule straighten - cotyledon green - photosynthesis
Day 6 - Young leaves - cotyledon falls off
Growth region ×3
Region of Cell Division
Region of Elongation
Region of Differentiation
Region of cell division Types of division Importance Site Why there
Mitotic Cell Division
Create new cells
Meristems:
Apical Meristem - tip - Primary
Primary growth - Length
Lateral Meristem - periphery
Secondary growth - Thickness
Region of Elongation
Importance
Osmosis - creat small vacuoles
Region on Differentiation
Process ×3
Small vacuole to Large vacuole
+ Cellulose - rigid thick cell walls
Differentiate - Specialized
Eg Xylem Phloem
Stem Structure
Vascular Cambium - cell division
Primary Phloem - outer
Seconary Phloem - just differentiated
Primary Xylem - inner
Secondary Xylem - just differentiated
Stem cell division to differentiation
Vascular Cambium create new cells Differentiate Xylem pushed inwards Phloem pushed outwards Thicker stems
Measurement of growth ×3
Size
Fresh Mass
Dry Mass
Measuring size
Pros and cons
Alive
Convenient
Cannot measure growth in all dimension
Fresh mass
Pros and cons
Alive
Convenient
Water content is easily affected
Dry mass
Pros and cons
Accurate Mass of Organic Matter
Killed - no continuous measuring
Large sample size
Time consuming
