Final Flashcards
Anatomy
Cell and Structures
Morphology
overall shape of plants
nonvascular
do not have a vascular system (mosses)
Gymnosperms
naked seeds, wind pollinated, cone like structure
angiosperms
inside of a fruit, flowering plants
totipotency
The ability of a cell to return to a materialistic state and produce a whole new plant.
3 organs for plants
-leaf -stem -root - all other are modified from these
monocotts
1 cotyledons
multiples of three
vascular bundles in the stem are random
Leaf Veination is parallel
dicotts
2 cotyledons
multiples of four or five
Vascular bundles in a ring
Netted veins usually
meristem
perpetually making new parts
-root and shoot Apical meristems
Tissue system
- Dermal
- vascular
- ground
leaf primordium
Youngest leaves
embryonic stage of growth
Herbaceous (primary)
- primary growth (new part)
- coming from apical meristems
Woody (Secondary)
increases diameter but doesnt add new parts comes from vascular cambium.
plant tissues
an accumulation of cells
Dermal
- epidermis: single layer of cells that interacts with the envornment
- periderm: replaces original epidermis in woody plants
Vascular
- transport and support
- xylem and phloem
Xylem
Transports water and mineral nutrients
From transpiration
Cells dead at maturity
Phloem
- transports sugar (sucrose)
- From leaves to where it is needed (roots, fruits)
Ground
- Some Functional role
- cortex (root)
- Pith (stem)
- Mesophyll (leaves)
Cell membrane
Phospholipid bilayer
Cell Wall
Cellulose, Lignin (If Dead)
Protoplast
All things within the cell membrane (no cell wall) but connects adjacent cells.
Apoplast
From the membrane of the cell outward (cell wall ect)
