Exam 1: PPT Slides Flashcards
Objectives and vocab from the PowerPoints
The two systems that plants have…
Roots & Shoots
A plant’s vegetative organs…
Leaves & Stems
A plant’s reproductive organs…
Flowers & Fruits
Determinate growth
Maximum growth size is genetically determined; growth stops after a time
Indeterminate growth
Maximum growth is not genetically determined; parts are able to keep growing through life
Site of cellular respiration
Mitochondria
Middle Lamella
thin layer of protein binding adjacent cells
primary cell wall
cellulose-containing layer laid down by cells that are growing and dividing
secondary cell wall
layers deposited inner to the primary wall; as it grows, it pushes the cell membrane in
all tissues originate from…
meristematic tissues
because plant tissue is totipotent it…
can regenerate the whole plant
apical meristem
located at very end of stems and roots
protoderm
gives rise to epidermis
ground meristem
gives rise to ground tissue (photosynthetic, storage, support)
procambium
gives rise to vascular tissue (transport)
lateral meristem
responsible for secondary growth
vascular cambium
arises from the procambium; gives rise to vascular tissue
cork cambium
arises from the pericycle and cortex; produces periderm
intercalary meristems
meristematic tissue only available in gasses
a typical seed contains…
an embryo
a nutrient source
a protective coating
embryogenesis
development of the embryo
step 1 of embryogenesis
the developing seed contains the endosperm and zygote
step 2 of embryogenesis
the zygote divides to form the proembryo which is anchored to the micropyle by the suspensor
step 3 of embryogenesis
globular stage: a spherical mass of cells
step 4 of embryogenesis
heart stage: heart shape gives rise to cotyledons
step 5 of embryogenesis
torpedo stage: shoot apical meristem is between the cotyledons
step 6 of embryogenesis
the mature embryo includes the radicle, the hypocotyl, the epicotyl, and the ovule has developed into a seed coat
monocot embryogenesis has no…
heart stage
seed coat layers
testa (outer) and tegman (inner)
hilium
place where seed attaches to endocarp (inner layer of fruit)
micropyle
where the pollen tube enters
plume
young shoot containing the shoot apical meristem and leaf primordia
radicle
embryonic root
hypocotyl
region between cotyledon attachment point and radicle
epicotyl
region between cotyledon attachment and shoot tip
seeds are highly specialized in the…
Poaceae family
barriers in the seed coat
physical dormancy & chemical dormancy
physical dormancy
impermeability to water or oxygen
chemical dormancy
compounds in seed coat inhibit germination
