32
Q

why does auxin accumulate in leaf primordia

A

because it promotes cell expansion so that the young leaves grow

33
Q

why does auxin go down through the leaves

A

it causes cells to elongate and to produce more auxin transport proteins

34
Q

The coordinated movement of auxin across many cells in a single direction is referred to as

A

polar transport

35
Q

in the cell walls, cells are ____

A

uncharged auxins

36
Q

in the cytoplasm cells are ____

A

negatively charged

37
Q

PIN proteins

A

located only on the Basel side of each cell

38
Q

where can auxin exit

A

only through the Basel end of cell aka PIN protein

39
Q

gibberellin acid

A
  • control internode elongation by reducing force needed for plan cell walls to explain
40
Q

synthesis and transport of gibberellin acid

A

synthesized in the growing regions of both roots and shoots

41
Q

cytokinins

A
  • produced in plant meristems
  • stimulates growth of branches from axillary buds
42
Q

synthesis and transport of cytokinins

A

transported in both xylem and phloem
and synthesized in both root and shoot meristem

43
Q

apical dominance

A

the suppression of growth of axillary buds by the shoot apical meristem, typically because of auxin and cytokinins

44
Q

what do apical dominance do?

A

prevents branches from being formed too close to the shoot tip, yet new branches can still be formed if the shoot meristem is damaged

45
Q

strigolactone

A

a plant hormone that inhibits the outgrowth of axillary buds

46
Q

plants with strong apical dominance _______ and plants with weak apical dominance _________

A
  • will have a main stem. with a few side branches
  • will have many branches
47
Q

ethylene

A
  • reduces cell elongation
  • triggers fruit ripening
  • stimulates formation of air spaces in roots
48
Q

Where is ethylene transported

A

can be transported in xylem

49
Q

ABA aka abscisic acid

A

transported from roots to leaves in xylem
maintains seed dormancy

50
Q

what does ABA trigger?

A

stomata closure

51
Q

secondary growth

A
  • shoot apical meristems and axillary buds enable plants to grow in length and to branch
52
Q

floral meristem enables development of?

53
Q

why do plants need to grow in diameter?

A
  • strengthen the stem
  • increase capacity of vascular system
54
Q

the source of a new cell that allows plants to grow in diameter

A

55
Q

when do lateral meristems form?

A

when elongation is complete

56
Q

plants produce ____ distinct lateral meristems that together result in ______ growth.

A

57
Q

source of new xylem and phloem is called?

A

vascular cambium

58
Q

plants with a secondary growth are usually?

59

where are vascular cadmium derived?

what makes up the bark

A

all material produced to the outside of the vascular cambium, including secondary phloem

62
Q

what is sapwood

A

transports water from roots to shoots (active xylem) becomes non functional after several years

63
Q

heart wood

A

no longer transports water, but provide mechanical support, nutrient storage, contains resin so is more resistant to decay and darker

64
Q

the cells produced by cork cadmium are called

65
Q

as cork cells mature, they come coated with?

66
Q

what is suberin

A

a waxy compound (non living cells) that protects cells against mechanical damage and entry of pathogens.

67
Q

this layer impedes the diffusion of oxygen

68
Q

lenticels

A

are regions of loosely packed cells in the cork that allow oxygen to diffuse into the stem

69
Q

in gymnosperm, secondary xylem fulfills two roles of secondary growth

A
  1. provide tree with strength and stability
  2. transport water and nutrients from roots to leaves
70
Q

tracheid or vessel fulfill both functions in gymnosperms wood?

71
Q

angiosperm wood, cells in secondary xylem mature into distinct types

A
  1. fibers
  2. vessel elements
72
Q

fibers are?

A

thick cells with no lumen that provide support

73
Q

root apical meristems

A

totipotent cells near the tip of roots produce new cells

74
Q

after cell division, cells _______

A

alginate and differentiate

75
Q

what protects the meristem and is rubbed off or damaged as root alongates?

76
Q

auxin produced in shoot meristems transported _____ to roots via ____

A

down, phloem

77
Q

as _____ moves through ______, it triggers formation of ________cells that become phloem and xylem

A

auxin, elongated zone, procamial

78
Q

a single layer of cells just inside the endodermis from which new root meristems develop

79
Q

is transported from young developing leaves to differentiated vascular tissue.
