Identifying Plant Tissues Flashcards
A group of cells organized into a structural unit and functional unit is a
Tissue
What is not a type of epidermal cell?
Collenchyma cell
Which of the following tissues has sugar conduction as a primary function?
Phloem
In Woody eudicots the periderm replaces the
Epidermis
The plant tissue that moves water and dissolves minerals in a generally upward direction is the
Xylem
A cell that provides flexible support in green stems is a
Collenchyma cell
A cell type that has thin primary walls, a large vacuole and is living at maturity is a
Parenchyma cell
Which of the following is a meristematic tissue?
Corkcambium
Increase in girth of a tree is due to the activity of
Lateral secondary meristems
Plants cells that are usually alive at maturity include all of the following except
Vessel elements
The four primary tissues of vascular plants are
Dermal, meristematic, ground and vascular
The three organs of vascular plants are
Roots stems and leaves
Explain how the epidermis enables a plant to do each of the following
The epidermis waxy skin keeps water from getting out stomates are on the epidermis and assist with the co2 needed for photosynthesis
The layer of soil bound by the Mucinex and roothairs and containing microorganism and sloughed off cells of the root cap is called
Rhizosphere
The casparian strip is a band of wax around the cells of the
Endodermis
Root hairs are prominent in the
Region of differentiation
If a plant has two leaves attached to the stem at each node the leaf arrangement is
Opposite
When three or more leaves occur at a node it is said to be
Whorled
Growth rings can be seen in cross sections of trees because of differences In the sizes of cells
Spring wood and summer wood
Bark refers to
All of the tissues outside the vascular cambium
In a leaf photosynthesis is primarily the function of the
Mesophyll
Which of the following groups of fruits would be classified as true berries?
Tomatoes and grapes
The part of the flower that frequently functions in protecting unopened flower buds is called
Calyx/Sepals
Does the drawing with the flower show inferior or superior ovary?
Inferior
Flower drawing
A is sepal B anther C filament E stigma F style G ovary
Pollination is
The transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma
Which of the following structures develops into a seed?
Ovule
The fruits produced by melons and squashes are examples of
Pepos
All of the following are dry, indihescent fruits except
Capsules
The skin of most fruits is technically the
Exocarp
