Q

function of veins in plants

A

carry water and nutrients from soil to leaves and carry sugar.

42
Q

stomates

A

enable gas exhange between spongy mesophyll and air when opened.

43
Q

why dont plants always keep stomata open for gas exchange

A

they would lose a lot of water through transpiration. so at day when photosynthesis is running top speed, stomata are open, at night they clse

44
Q

when guard cells become turgid…

A

they curve and open the stomata.

45
Q

three types of plant tissue

A

dermal, vascular, and ground

46
Q

dermal tissue

A

outer protective covering of plants. protected by cuticle. no chloroplasts, cant photosynthesize EXCEPT for guard cells.

47
Q

A

transports water and nutrients up and down. xylem and phloem.

48
Q

xylem consists of

A

tracheids and vessel elements

49
Q

phloem consists of

A

sieve tube elements and companion cells

50
Q

ground tissue

A

makes up rest of plant tissue besides vascular and dermal. consists of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma

51
Q

parenchyma cells

A

in ground tissue, they are the typical looking plant cell. have only primary cell wall. suppport the plant when turgid. contain mesophyll cells

A

have unevenly thickened primary cells walls, still no secondary cell waslls. strings of celery

53
Q

scelerenchyma cells

A

thick primary and secondary cells walls, fortified with lignin. pure support

54
Q

tracheids

A

elongated cell in xylem that have secondary walls hardedned with lignin.

55
Q

Xylem is what makes up stuff we call ____

A

wood

56
Q

how much energy does xylem use to pull up water against gravity

A

none

57
Q

what phenomenon help xylem pull up water against gravity

A

transpirational pull and cohesion tension

58
Q

transpirational pull-cohesion theory

A

for each molecule of water that evaporates from leaf by transpiration, another molecule of water is drawn in at the root to replace it

59
Q

factors that affect rate of transpiration

A

high humidity slows it down, wind reduces humidity which increases rate, higher light intensity increases rate of transp, closing stomata stops transp

60
Q

phloem

A

carry sugar from photosynthetic leaves to rest of plant via transloccation.

61
Q

like the xylem, transportation in the phloem requires no energy

A

false

62
Q

sugar in plants is stored in the ____

A

roots

63
Q

vegetative propagation

A

64
Q

petals

A

brightly colored modified leaves. foundin circle of sepals, attract animals that will pollinate

65
Q

sepals

A

outermost circle of leaves, green, enclose bud before it opens and protects flower before it opens

the plant embryo consists of ____, _____, and ______

83
Q

alternation of generations

A

sexual life cycle where n and 2n generations alternate. gametophyte (n) produces gametes, which fertilize and develop into sporophytes (2n) that produces haploid spores by meiosis which forms gametophyte.

84
Q

antheridium

A

structure that produces sperm, develops on gametophyte

85

produced by large female cones and will develop into female gametophytes

88
Q

A

located on tip on mature sporophyte, where meiosis occurs, produces haploid spores

91
Q

sporophyte

A

diploid adult plant

92
Q

sori

A

raised spots in underside of sporophyte ferns, clusters of sporangia

93
Q

the _____ generation dominates the life cycle of a moss

A

gametophyte; moss spends most of time as gametophyte and sporophytes depends on it for nutrients

94
Q

In ferns, the _____ generation is larger, and is independent from the ________.

A

sporophyte; gametophyte

95
Q

In angiosperm seed plants, the _____ generation is totally dependent on the _____ generation.

A

gametophyte; sporophyte

96
Q
