Module 5 - Plants Structure + Function Flashcards
Monocot (5)
Single cotyledon Linear venation Flowering parts sets of 3 Fibrous roots Vascular parts arranged scattered
Dicot (5)
Net like venation Taproot Sets of 4 and or 5 flowering parts Vascular parts arranged in rings Double cotyledon
Three main types of plant tissue
Vascular (conduction)
Ground (packing)
Dermal (skin)
Plant Dermal tissue
Outer layer of plant tissue
Epidermis
Periderm (bark)
Epidermis
Tightly packed cells, leaf surface
Periderm
Bark or cork cambium, replaces epidermis as plants age.
Ground tissue and three types of:
Inbetween filling tissue Nutrient storage etc Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma (dead)
Cortex and pith are made up of ____
Ground tissue.
Companion cells
Helps regulate phloem transport of nutrients.
Tracheids
Conducting xylem cells of gymnosperms
Vessel elements
Conducting xylem cells of angiosperms.
Phloem cell types (2)
Sieve tube elements
Companion cells
Sieve tube plate
Connective tissue of a cell, allowing nutrient and water movement.
Cuticle
Waxy layer on top of the epidermis cells.
Mesophyl
Layer of different cell types inside a leaf cross section.
Pith is made up of
Parenchyma
Roots function (4)
Storing nutrients, nutrient uptake, moisture uptake, anchorage.
Uptake of nutrients are take up by;
Active transport
Water translocation and transpiration inside a plant
Cohesion and adhesion help push water up through small capillaries a term called capillarity. Eventually leaving the leaf via evaporation.
Stromatolites opening regulation
Guard cells utilise ATP to move K+ ions into the cell pulling moisture inside the cell therefore expanding the cell (become more turgid) consequently enlarging the stomata opening. The production of ABA hormone from plant stress initiates reaction to pump potassium ions out of the cell and therefore closing stomata.
Low CO2 levels initiate the stomata guard cells to ___
Open allowing more CO2 inside the leaf for respiration.
Pressure-flow hypothesis
Sugar moves from high concentrations (sources) to low concentrations (sinks).
What is the stamen
Male flower part, produces pollen, should be same number of petals.
Filament is the ___ of a ____
Slender stalk of a stamen or male pollen producing flower part.
