Lab 7 Flashcards
What are the three vegetative structures of angiosperms
roots, stems, leaves
Contains the shoot apical meristem
terminal bud
Causes the shoot system to lengthen in the form of primary growth
shoot apical meristem
Continual growth, like that of plants is called
indeterminate
Humans growth is termed ___ because we have an approximate predetermined adult size
Determinate
\The space between the stem and the upper side of a leaf petiole
axil
The axil space always contains the ___
axillary bud
If you see what you think is a leaf but it has no axillary bud then it is actually a
leaflet
The location of the attachment of a leaf and its axillary bud to the stem
Node
The stem segment between nodes
internode
Root system with one main root and small lateral roots
tap root system
Root system that has many roots of similar size as found in grasses
fibrous root system
Branches of a root are called
lateral roots
Roots also have __ that increase surface area and thus aid in absorption
root hairs
The most distal region of a root where new cells are being produced
region of cell division
New root cells are produced by the
root apical meristem
A group of undifferentiated , somewhat spherical cells located internally in the root
root apical meristem
Protects the root apical meristem, perceives gravity,and secretes a gel that helps lubricate the root as it grows through soil
root cap
The region of the root where cells elongate
Region of elongation
Region where root cells differentiate and take on heir mature functions
regions of maturation
Have xylem in the center, arranged as a few spokes, with phloem between the spokes.
Eudicot roots
The outer ring of the solid vascular eudicot root core is called the ___ these cells are meristematic and produce lateral roots
Pericycle
Lateral root hair formation is ___ (coming from within)
endogenous
Root hair formation is ___ (coming from the surface)
exogenous
The ring of cells immediately outside the pericycle is the
endodermis
The multilayered zone of cells to the outside is the
cortex
The cortex is made of ____ cells that are unspecialized and make up most of the plant body and store starch
Parenchyma
The outermost layer of the root
epidermis
Have hallow cylinder bundles with xylem and phloem. Pith in the center and cortex to the outside primarily composed of parenchyma cells
monocot roots
A young stem of a woody plant
Twig
The majority of angiosperm trees are ____ they loose their leaves at the end of a growing season
deciduous
When leaves of deciduous trees fall during autumn they leave a ____ just below the axillary bud
leaf scar
