Lab Quiz 1 Flashcards
Cell with primary cell wall (from Pear), stains…
…purple because only has cellulose in cell wall
Cell with secondary cell wall (from Pear) stains…
…blue because it contains both lignin and cellulose
(onion cell) nucleus location
pushed to the side by the central vacuole in the center of the cell
chloroplast shape
oval
chloroplast function
photosynthesis
chloroplast movement called
“cytoplasmic streaming”
chloroplast movement caused by
movement of the cytoskeleton (cytoplasmic streaming)
amyloplast function & importance
starch storage
good energy source for humans
what is a druse?
where is it found?
intracellular calcium oxalate crystals
found within the central vacuole of the cell
apical meristem overall shape
dome
leaf primordial
surround and protects apical meristem
apical mersitem tunica location & function
at the top of the dome
gives rise to epidermis
apical mersitem corpus location and function
towards center of dome
gives rise to body of plant (ground meristem)
2 regions of stem dominated by…
…parenchyma: pith & cortex
parenchyma in cortex size and function
smaller and function as aids in photosynthesis (chlorenchyma)
parenchyma in pith size and function
larger and function as storage cells (parenchyma)
Chlorenchyma is a type of ______.
contains?
location?
type of parenchyma that contains chloroplasts, located just below epidermis
(water lily leaf) specialized parenchyma =
aerenchyma (with large air spaces for buoyancy)
collenchyma primary cell walls are
unevenly thickened
In celery, the bundles of _____ are found where?
collenchyma are found just under the epidermis in the region of the stem called the cortex (just under “ridges” of celery stem)
(1) schlerenchyma –>
& what kind of growth?
asterosclereid with intrusive growth
(2) schlerenchyma –>
with what to notice?
brachysclereid with pits (look like lines) in lignified secondary cell wall
(3) schlerenchyma –>
& function
fiber with intrusive growth along axis of plant
their long thin shape and stiff lignified walls help keep the stem supported upright
