flowers, fruits, seeds
lower surface or ventral side
abaxial
upper surface or dorsal side
adaxial
at or near the tip
apical
at or near the bottom
basal
pertaining to the border or edge
marginal
what plant was used to examine the external morphology of the root?
monocot: grass
dicot: mayana
what are the parts of the root longitudinal section (root tip) ?
-region of cell differentiation
- region of elongation
-region of maturation
-root cap
meristematic tissue near the root cap
region of cell differentiation
rows of newly produced cells as they begin to grow larger
region of elongation
where cells are differentiated into types; area with root hairs
region of maturation
dead cells at the tip of the root; provides protection
root cap
what plant was used to examine the anatomy of a dicot root
ranunculus
what are the parts of a dicot root
-epidermis
-cortex
-endodermis
-pericycle
-stele (protostele)
-xylem
-phloem
outermost layer of the root
epidermis
next to epidermis; composed of several cell layers (root)
cortex
next to cortex; single cell layer (root)
endodermis
next to endodermis; 1-2 cell layers; where branch roots arise
pericycle
primary vascular tissues bounded by the pericycle
stele (protostele)
transports water and nutrients
xylem
transports food
phloem
what plant was used to examine the anatomy of a monocot root?
zea mays
parts of a monocot root
-epidermis

-pericycle
-stele (protostele)
-xylem
-phloem
-pith
centrally located ground tissue; for storage (root)
pith
mayana
plectranthus sp.
what plant was used to examine the external morphology of the stem?
mayana (plectranthus sp)
