30
Q

Above ground tissues are particularly susceptible to…

A

Desiccation (loss of moisture)

31
Q

Trichomes

A

hair-like outgrowths that can help with reducing water loss and in insect defense

32
Q

Vascular tissue function

A

facilitates the transport of materials through the plant and provides mechanical support

33
Q

2 types of vascular tissue

A

Xylem and phloem

34
Q

Xylem

A

conducts water and dissolved minerals upward from roots into the shoots

35
Q

Phloem

A

transports sugars from where they are made to where they are needed

36
Q

Vascular tissue is collectively called the…

37
Q

Ground tissue

A

made of cells that are neither vascular nor dermal; function in storage, photosynthesis, support, and transport

38
Q

Pith

A

internal to the vascular tissue

39
Q

Cortex

A

external to the vascular tissue

40
Q

Water-conducting cells, tracheids and vessel

elements, are ____ at maturity.

41
Q

Tracheids are found in the ____ of all vascular plants and can conduct _____.

A

Xylem, water

42
Q

Sieve-tube elements are _____ at maturity, though

they lack _______.

A

alive, organelles

43
Q

Sieve plates

A

Allow fluid flow between cells

44
Q

Major types of plant cells (5 types)

A 
Tracheids
Vessel elements
Sieve-tube elements
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
45
Q

Parenchyma cells

A

Thin, flexible walls
Least specialized
Metabolic functions

46
Q

Collenchyma cells

A

Thicker cell walls

Provide support

47
Q

Sclerenchyma cells

A

Strengthened with lignin and are rigid
die at maturity
include sclereids and fibers

48
Q

Annuals

A

complete their life cycle in a year or less (most crops and weeds)

49
Q

Biennials

A

Require 2 growing seasons

50
Q

Perennials

A

Live and grow for many years (trees, shrubs, grasses)

51
Q

Indeterminate growth

A

growth that is not terminated (compare: determinate growth in animals)

52
Q

What is responsible for indeterminate growth?

53
Q

Apical meristems

A

located at the tips of roots and shoots; cause elongation of shoots and roots in a process called primary growth

54
Q

Lateral meristems

A

allow for increase in diameter in woody plants in a process called secondary growth

55
Q

2 types of lateral meristems

A

Vascular cambium & Cork cambium

56
Q

Vascular cambium

A

adds layers of vascular tissue called secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem

57
Q

Cork cambium

A

replaces the epidermis with periderm, which is thicker and tougher

58
Q

Root cap

A

Covers the root, protects the apical meristem

as the root pushes through soil

59
Q

3 root zones

A

Zone of cell division
Zone of elongation
Zone of differentiation (or maturation)

60
Q

Arrangement of ______ differs between eudicots

and monocots.

61
Q

In ______, the xylem is star-like in appearance with

phloem between the arms.

62
Q

In ______, a core of parenchyma cells is surrounded by rings of xylem then phloem.

63
Q

Apical meristems produce:

A

leaf primordia (young leaves) and axillary buds

64
Q

Prevention of water loss is critical to the leaf surface, so most of the cuticle is protected by a…

A

Waxy layer

65
Q

Stoma

A

Allows for exchange of O2 and CO2 between the air and photosynthetic cells of the leaf as well as evaporation of H2O

66
Q

Guard cells

A

Surround the stoma and regulate opening and closing

67
Q

Mesophyll

A

Consists of parenchyma cells that are specialized for photosynthesis

68
Q

In woody plants, _______ contribute to the

growth of roots and stems.

A

Lateral meristems

69
Q

_______ occurs in older regions of the plant more distant from branch or root tips.

A

Secondary growth

70
Q

Secondary xylem

71
Q

Older layers of secondary xylem

72
Q

Outer layers of secondary xylem

73
Q

Older secondary phloem…

A

Does not accumulate

74
Q

Bark

A

all exterior tissues external to vascular cambium
