chapter2425_Plant_Structures Flashcards
annual plant
live and die within a year
perennial plant
live for many years
2 types of perennial plants
deciduos and evergreen
deciduous
loose leaves in fall
three types of plant tissues
epidermal, ground, and vascular
transport is provided by _ tissue
vascular
protection is provided by _ tissue
epidermal
support & storage is provided by _ tissue
ground
periderm
outer layer of tissue on roots and stems
root epidermis
acidic cells on periderm
stem epidermis
cork aka bark
leaves epidermal tissue
secretes waxy cuticle
why do leaves have waxy cuticle?
protects froms dehydration and repels water
plant body consist mostly of _ tissues
ground
parenchyma
ground tissue used for juice and starch storage
collenchyma
ground tissue that provides flexible support
sclerenchyma
ground tissue that provides firm support
types of vascular tissues
xylem and phloem
what is the xylem
vascular tissue that performs water transport from roots to leaves
what is the phloem
vascular tissue that performs sugar transport from leaves to rest of plant
where does primary plant growth occur
stem and root tips
primary growth occurs lengthwise or diameter-wise
lengthwise
what root cells contribute to primary plant growth
root meristem cells
what stem cells contribute to primary plant growth
apical meristem cells
define secondary plant growth
diameter-wise growth - occurs in woody perennials
what tissue is responsible for secondary plant growth
cambian tissue
where is Vascular Cambium located
between phloem and xylem
where is Cork, or Bark, Cambium located
between bark and cortex tissue, cortex is the photosynthesizing tissue
leaf blade
leaf body
leaf veins
transport vessels
