Q

Origin of the Epidermis

A
  • From the outermost cell layer of the SAM
  • If shoot apex has tunica corpus organization, it arises from the outermost layer of tunica
  • In roots, epidermis may be related developmentally to the root cap
  • Protoderm: primary meristem origin

Q

The cells have thin radial walls; the outer wall may be as thick or thicker than those of adjacent ordinary epidermal cells. The walls are composed of cellulose and pectic substances. The outer walls have cuticle, and the cells are highly vacuolated, containing water.

A

Type I

32
Q

Guard cells are accompanied by 4-6 subsidiary cells, with 1-2 elongated SCs on each side (lateral SCs) and 1 round SC on each end (terminal SCs).

35
Q

T/F Guard cells in the Gramineae and Cyperaceae (Grasses) are elongated and dumbbell-shaped.

A

True

36
Q

There are sunken areas on the leaf surface that shelter the pores from the dry wind.

A

Stomatal crypts

37
Q

Structures help minimize transpiration by breaking up the flow of air, keeping humidity higher in the crypt than in the surrounding atmosphere.

A

Trichomes

38
Q

Waxy substance on the epidermis that helps prevent transpiration

A

Cutin

39
Q

When stomata occurs on both surfaces of the leaf.

A

Amphistomatic

40
Q

When stomata occurs only on the upper side of the leaf

A

Epistomatic

41
Q

When stomata only occurs on the lower side of the leaf

A

Hypostomatic

42
Q

When all of the subsidiary or neighboring cells have a common origin with the guard cells.

A

Mesogenous

43
Q

None of the subsidiary or neighboring cells has a common origin with the guard cells.

A

Perigenous

44
Q

When at least one of the subsidiary or neighboring cells is directly related ontogenetically to the guard cells, while the others are not.

A

mesoperigenous

45
Q

These are permanently open pores at the margins and tips of leaves; they are connected to the veins and secrete droplets of liquid, called guttation drops, containing various nutrients.

A

Hydathodes

46
Q

The first protective barrier between the aerial surface of the plant and its environment is the principal barrier to the movement of water

A

Cuticle

47
Q

Cuticle has two lipid components:

A
  1. insoluble cutin - in the matrix
  2. soluble waxes - some in the surface of cuticle, others in matrix called cuticular wax
48
Q

Cuticle has two distinct regions

A
  1. Cuticle proper - formed by cuticularization (secretion of cutin to surface of cell wall), has no cellulose
  2. Cuticular layer - beneath cuticle proper, formed by cutinization (deposition of cutin between cellulose microfibrils of the outermost layers where pectin and hemicellulose may also be present)
