Q

What is determinate growth?

A

Shoot elongates for a certain period of time until the flower clusters appear at the tip and the plant does not grow anymore, then the plant eventually dies.

Q

What does the vascular cambium do?

A

Produces cells on the inside of a stem that make up the secondary xylem (such as wood).

Responsible for secondary growth.

Q

What are complex tissues?

A

Consist of different types of cells.

21
Q

What are the 5 simple tissues?

A

Epidermis, parenchyma, sclerenchyma, collenchyma, and cork.

22
Q

What are the two complex tissues?

A

Xylem and phloem.

23
Q

What is the epidermis?

A

A single layer of cells on the outside that protects the plant organs.

24
Q

What is the cuticle?

A

A waxy material lying on the surface that reduces water loss.

25
Q

What is the parenchyma?

A

Composed of thin walled cells in all plants that help with storage, wound healing and photosynthesis.

26
Q

What is the sclerenchyma?

A

It’s made up of dead cells with thick walls. It is very high in lignin to provide the cell with strength and support. It appears as fibres of sclereids.

27
Q

What is the collenchyma?

A

It is made up of living cells that have unevenly thick walls. It is high in cellulose and provides support to the young parts of the plant (stems/petioles/leaf veins).

28
Q

Where is cork found?

A

In bark.

29
Q

What is cork?

A

Mature cells are dead with cell walls containing suberin which repels water. It prevents water loss and damage.

30
Q

What does the xylem do?

A

Transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.

31
Q

What are xylem cells made of?

A

Vessel elements (which are short and thick) and tracheids (long and narrow).

32
Q

What does the phloem do?

A

Transports food from the leaves to other parts of the plants.

33
Q

What is phloem made of?

A

Companion cells, and food conducting cells (long and narrow).

34
Q

What do food conducting cells do?

A

The food conducting cells connect to form sieve tubes and porous sieve plates found at the ends of the cells.

35
Q

What do the companion cells do?

A

They accompany food conducting cells and support the food conducting cells.

36
Q

What are the two types of tissues?

A

Meristematic tissues and permanent tissues

37
Q

What are the two types of growth in meristematic tissues?

A

Primary and secondary growth.

38
Q

What are the two meristems that increase the length of a plant?

A

Apical meristem and intercalary meristem.

39
Q

What meristem increases the thickness of a stem?

A

Lateral meristems

40
Q

What are the two meristems that cause lateral growth?

A

Vascular cambium and cork cambium

41
Q

What does vascular cambium produce?

A

Primary phloem and primary xylem

42
Q

What does cork cambium produce?

A

Outermost layer of bark

43
Q

What are the two types of permanent tissue?

A

Simple and complex tissue

44
Q

What are the 5 simple tissues?

A

Epidermis
Parenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Collenchyma
Cork

45
Q

What are the two types of complex tissues?

A

Xylem and phloem

46
Q

What is a collection of cells called?

A

Tissues

47
Q

What are a collection of tissues called?

A

Organs

48
Q

What is suberin and what does it do?

A

Located in cork cells’ cell wall. Helps prevent water loss and helps prevent damage.
