Lab Practical Flashcards
Monocot
1 cotyledon, parallel leaves, scattered vascular bundles, fibrous root system
Dicot
2+ cotyledons, reticulate leaves, circular vascular bundles, taproot system
Collenchyma
structural support, edges of plant tissue, near epidermis
Leaf Primordia
early shoot, develops into bud
Apical meristem
undifferentiated cells, tips of roots and shoots
Axillary Buds
dormant embryonic shoot
Amyloplast
storage of starch granules, stained purple
Sclereids
thick cell walls, pear’s gritty texture
Lenticel
allow O2 to enter the plant, allows for gas exchange in loose tissue, stimluates growth
Pine (Gym) Transverse
vertical thin rp/vertical boxy tracheids
Oak (Ang) Transverse
vertical thin rp/vertical circular vessel elements/surrounded by smaller circular fibers
Pine (Gym) Radial
Long thin vertical trachieds/Horizontal thin rp
Oak (Ang) Radial
Long skinny vertical fibers, gapping vertical vessel, small circular horizontal rp
Pine (Gym) Tangential
Vertical wispy trachieds/small circular rp in between
Oak (Ang) Tangential
Long vertical fibers/large vessel whole/small circular rp in between fibers
Gymnosperms
tracheids, pit membrane, sieve cells, sieve pores
Angiosperms
vessel elements, sclerieds, fibers, phloem sieve tubes (members, plates, companion cells)
Phloem Sieve Tube
sieve tube members, sieve plate, “plunger”
Stomatal Guard Cells Open
Hydrated
Stomatal Guard Cells Closed
Dehydrated
Adaxial
top, palisades parenchyma
Abaxial
bottom, stomata, spongy parenchyma
Monocot Leaves
Adaxial bundle sheath extensions
Shade Leaf
thinner, less tightly packed
