Q

What do shoots consist of and what are their functions?

A

-Shoots consist of stems, leaves and flowers (reproductive structures)
Function of shoots:
a) water, minerals, and organic substances are transported
b) stems serve in upright growth and display flowers, also to let leaves absorb sunlight & so flower can reproduce
c) photosynthesis is accomplished by leaves and young stems

Q

What are apical meristems? and what are the 3 germ layers that these meristems grow into

A

apical meristem they are at the tips of roots and stems is responsible for growth and elongation.
primary growth: how tall this plant gets

3 germ layers: Protoderm (gives rise to dermal tissue), ground meristem (ground tissue) and procambium (vascular tissue) are the 3 kinds of primary meristems

Q

What are lateral meristems? And what are the 2 germ layers that they grow into?

A

lateral meristem tissues are responsible for the increase in diameter of older roots and stems
secondary growth: how big (girth-wise) the plant gets

2 germ layers: Vascular cambium (vascular tissue) and cork cambium (normal dermal tissue) 2 kinds of lateral meristems

Q

What are the 3 plant tissue systems?

Q

Simple tissues consist of the ground tissue:
1) _____ makes up most of the soft, moist tissue

2) _____ cells are thickened and help strengthen the plant
3) _____ cells provide mechanical support and protect in mature plants and parts

A

1) Parenchyma: major function, photosynthesis (mesophyll), cell wall are very thin and pliable cells
2) collenchyma: it is commonly arranged at strands/cylinders beneath the dermal tissues of stem and stalks, the primary cell walls of collenchyma become thickened with cellulose and pectin at maturity often at their corners.
3) sclerenchyma: the secondary walls are thick and often impregnated with lignin, which strengthens and water proofs cell walls, sclerenchyma cells form fibers such as in hemp and flax; others called sclereids form strong coats around seeds as in a peach pit

Q

Stromata openings between pairs of guard cells …?

A

permit water and gaseous exchange with the air.

stromata allows for trafficing of CO2.
When a stromata opens, water is released.
guard cells keep stromata closed (to conserve water) and open them quickly when gas exchange is needed.

Q

name the differences between monocots and dicots

A

Monocots:

  • 1 cotyledon (embryonic leaf)
  • floral parts occur in 3 or multiples of 3
  • veins in leaves are in straight lines/ parallel
  • pollen grain has 1 pore
  • vascular bundles complexly arranged
  • fibrous root system

Dicots:

  • 2 cotyledon
  • floral parts usually in multiples 4 or 5
  • veins in leave are usually netlike
  • pollen grain has 3/4 holes
  • vascular bundles in ring
  • taproot system

Q

shoot apricalmeristem produces ….?

A

suppression hormones to control bud production<- control rate of branch number.
if you cut the meristem, bud will assume dominance to keep plant going
