Q

Which time-scales affect the plant structure?

A

Long-term = entire plant species have, nu natural selection, morphological adaptions to survive and reproduce

Short-term = Induvidual plants, more individual in animals. Exhibit structural responses to specific enviroments

Q

What is the basic morphology in plants?

A

It reflects on thier evolutionary history as terrestrial organisms that must simultanioesly inhabit and take resourses from two enviroments;

Soil (water, minerals) & Air (main sourse of CO2)

Q

Axilliary bud - function

A

Has the potential to form a vegiative branch

(At the angel formed by each leaf and the stem is an axillary bud)

20
Q

Terminal bud - function

A

Developing leaves and a compact series of nodes and internodes

21
Q

What do Terminal buds have that is special?

A

Have speciall tissue, apical meristem

22
Q

What is Apical meristem?

A

Produces vegetative & productive organs

Cells that can divide indefinitely and produces all the differentiated tissues. Including vegetative and productive organs.

23
Q

What is Aptical dominance

A

The presence of a terminal bud is partly responsible for inhibiting the growth of axillary buds

24
Q

Modified shoots decription

A

Is shoots with diverse function and have evolved in many plants

25
Q

Modified shoots has 4 types….

A

Stolons
Rhizomes
Tubers
Bulbs

26
Q

Stolons - structure/function

A

”Runners” of strawberry plants
Grow on surface
Asexually reproduction
Plant fragments -> offsprings

27
Q

Rhizomes - structure

A

Like ginger
Horisontal stems
Grow underground

28
Q

Tubers - structure

A

Potato
Swollen ends of Rhizosomes specialized for food storage

29
Q

Bulbs - structure

A

Onions
Vertical
Underground shoots
Swollen bases of leaves that store food

30
Q

Leaves - function

A

Mainly photosynthetic organs of most plants (Green stems)

Consist of a flattend blade and stalk, petriole = joins the leaf to a stem node

If no petrioles = base of the leaf forma a sheath that envelps the stem

31
Q

How do you identify and classify plants? (Taxonomist)

A

Leaf shape
Spatial arrangement
Pattern of Venins

32
Q

Different kinds of leaf, structure

A

Simple leaf = simple undivided blade

Compound leaf = several leaflets attached to petriole

Doubly compound leaf = see picture

33
Q

Ex on evolution for other functions in plants

A

Tendrils = cling on for support

Cacti = for defence

Leaves with more water storage
Brighter color to attract pollinators

34
Q

Plant histology: 3 tissue systems

A

Dermal, Vascular and ground

35
Q

Primary dermal tissue; EPIDERMIS
Characteristics & function

A

Characteristics
Flat cells, often thick outer walls
Leaves and stems secrete a waxy coating (cuticle, helps to retain water)

Function
Cover and protect young parts of the plant

36
Q

Secondary protective tissue - PERIDERM
Characteristics & Function

A

Replaces the epidermis during growth in thickness of stems and roots

Characteristics
Waterprof cells, thick cell walls
Dead at maturnity

Function
Forms outer bark

37
Q

Vascular tissue - function

A

Continously thru the plant is involved in the transport of materials between root and shoots

38
Q

Vascular tissue, 2 types;

A

Xylem = conveys water and upward from the roots to the shoots

Phloem = transport food made in mature leaves to the roots and to nonphotosynthetic parts of the shoot system

39
Q

Water conducting elements of Xylem;

A

Are the thracheids and vessel elements
(Dead at functional maturnity, when these cells are fullt specialized for thier function)

40
Q

Ground tissue - function

A
  • Neither dermal or vascular tissue
  • Dicot stems = ground tissue is dividend into pith, internal or vascular tissue or cortex, external to the vascular tissue
41
Q

3 cell types in plants;

A

Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Schlerenchyma

42
Q

Cell types in plants
function/structure/Characteristics

A
  • Each type of plant cell has a structural adaptions that makes special functions
  • Distinglished Characteristics is present in protoplast, the cell contents, exlusive of the cell wall
  • Modifications of cell Wall are also important in how the specialized cells of plants function
43
Q

Parenchyma

A
  • Unspecialised cells with thin primary walls
  • photosynthesis, secretion, storage
44
Q

Collenchyma

A

Elongated cells with uneven primary walls, living at maturnity. Support in leaves and stems

45
Q

Schlerenchyma

A

Elongated with very thick secondary walls
Dead at maternity.
Helps with support
