Q

Explain the vascular system of a plant

A

comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Q

Describer THREE characteristics for TWO named transport tissues to be found in plant stems.

A

XYLEM:
a. The xylem is a tubular structure (tracheid) which allows free transport of water and nutrients from the roots and soil vertically through the plant via the stem. The xylem provides the rigidity for the growth of the plant stem.

b. In a monocot, the vascular bundles (xylem and phloem) are scattered, cross sectionally preventing the plant from growing horizontally. Whereas the vascular bundles in a eudicot are circular allowing the plant to grow horizontally. As this horizontal growth happens, the outer xylem dies providing the strength and rigidity for the structure of the plant.

c. Water from the xylem passes out of the plant via the stomata as water vapor at the bottom of leaves which is known as transpiration.

PHLOEM:
a. The phloem is an active transport system that moves products of photosynthesis such as glucose and nutrients made in the leaves (and sometimes stem) to all areas throughout the plant.

b. The phloem can move nutrients throughout the plant, up and down, unlike the xylem, which can only move upward.

c. Phloem cells are active, to develop flower buds, organs, fruit or seed.

d. Phloem has companion cells that work together to provide nutrients to the different areas of the plant, whereas the xylem has narrow elongated cells with no end walls
that passively allow water and nutrients through.

31
Q

What is cambium? Name one place it may be found in a plant.

A

The cambium is a layer of meristematic (active growth) cells that can be found between the xylem and phloem vascular (transport) tissues. The cambium is the tissue that is responsible for the increase in stem and root diameter of eudicots.

32
Q

What role do the two types of vascular tissue play in the life of a plant?

A

The xylem and phloem are vascular tissues that provide nutrients, minerals, and water to the plant. They work together to support the life of the plant. The xylem moves water and nutrients from the soil and roots vertically through the stem and leaves to provide the needed nutrients for photosynthesis and transpiration. The phloem actively uses the nutrients and glucose from the photosynthesis process to produce new leaves, stems, buds, seeds and roots. Xylem only works vertically, but phloem moves throughout the plant to provide nutrients and actively promote the growth. Without both processes, the plant would not survive.

33
Q

Why does a knowledge of where cambium is in a plant help us to plan propagation?

A

It is important to know the location of the cambium in a plant to help us plan propagation. Cambium has active growth and regenerating cells, so if it is not there, that part of the plant cannot grow any further. Its crucial to know that monocotyledon plants do not have cambium in their stems, so you can’t take a cutting of the stem for propagation. However, most eudicotyledon stems do have cambium, so if you know the right point, you can take a cutting and the cambium in that part can be prompted to generate new cells, usually by putting in a damp growing medium, to generate new roots cells.

34
Q

Describe the characteristics of xylem.

A

Narrow, elongated cells, which have no end walls to the cells, allowing unimpeded flow of water and mineral nutrients up the plant. These cells form vessels. Xylem cells are lignified, and so also add strength to the cell wall. In trees, xylem tissue makes up the majority of the wood within the trunk.

35
Q

How is the xylem arranged?

A

Arrangement: You should be able to identify xylem in the stem, leaf and root. Learners should be able to identify the components of vascular
bundles and know how these differ in eudicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants.

36
Q

What is the function of xylem?

A

The transport of water and nutrients (essential elements) from the root to the leaf in one direction only.

37
Q

What is the horticultural importance of xylem?

A

Xylem carries water up the plant stem. It is of
vital importance to many plant functions. Mechanical damage and wilt diseases that impact on the xylem result in reduced water and mineral
movement in the plant, which induce stress, limit growth and can lead to die back.

38
Q

What are the characteristics of cambium?

A

Cambium cells are capable of cell division. These cells can differentiate into other cell types. Cambium cells occur in locations other than the apical meristems.

39
Q

What is the arrangement of cambium?

A

You should be able to identify cambium in the stem, leaf and root. Learners should be able to identify the components of vascular bundles and know how these differ in eudicotyledonous and
monocotyledonous plants.

40
Q

What is the function of cambium?

A

The meristematic importance of cambium to give rise to secondary growth, forming wood and increasing girth in stems, true and adventitious roots, leaves, buds, stems and flowers.

41
Q

What is the horticultural importance of cambium?

A

Horticulturists make use of cambium cells when
taking cuttings, grafting, budding, and wound healing after pruning.

42
Q

Which material could be used to raise the pH of a soil?

A

lime

43
Q

What material could be used to reduce ph of soil?

A

elemental sulfur, aluminum sulfate, and iron sulfate, or natural soil acidifiers (peat moss, rotted manure, or compost).

44
Q

what is the advantage of weeds in a vegetable plot

A

ground cover/cover crops

45
Q

difference between victimization and harassment

A

Victimisation occurs when someone is disadvantaged or punished because they have complained (or intend to complain) about discrimination or harassment in the workplace, or because they helped someone who has been discriminated against.

46
Q

Does adding compost to soil improve texture or structure?

A

STRUCTURE

47
Q

What is an organic bulk constituent of growing media?

A

COIR

48

Perlite
pumice
vermiculture
sand
rockwool

49
Q

A

52
Q

What are two cultural methods of weed control?

A

Crop rotation.

Cover crops

53
Q

pollinators (bees)
predators (lady beetles)
Parasites (parasitic wasps)

repel pests

increase moisture

living mulch

57
Q

How do weeds positively influence the estab. of new plants?

A

Nutrients (N fixing) Vicia

Encourage microorganisms in soil.

Retain moisture in soil.

Create drainage

58
Q

Diff between soil structure and texture?

A

Soil texture is the % of sand, silt and clay particles in the soil. Soil structure is the way the sand , silt and clay combine together.

The texture of a soil determines soil water-holding capacity, permeability, and soil workability. Sand, silt, clay, and organic matter particles in a soil combine with one another to form larger particles. Soil structure is the arrangement of the soil particles into aggregates of various sizes and shapes.
