Q

what are the 3 types of roots?

A
  • tap
  • adventitious
  • arial
21
Q

what are tap roots?

A

primary root that others develop from

22
Q

what are adventitious roots?

A

the form the branching network of roots (MONOCOTS)

23
Q

what are arial roots?

A

roots that form above ground

24
Q

what is the point of primary growth from the root?

A

root tip

25
Q

what is the root cap?

A

protection for the apical meristem

26
Q

what is the dermal tissue?

A

protection/absorption of water/minerals

27
Q

what is the zone of differentiation?

A

the 3 embryonic tissue types form here (protoderm/procambium/ground meristem)

28
Q

what is the zone of elongation?

A

where cells lengthen by water uptake

29
Q

what is the cortex?

A

makes up young roots

stores food

30
Q

what is the endodermis?

A

layer of cells surrounding vascular tissue in root (water goes through the cells)

31
Q

what are each of the endodermal cells surrounded by waxy substance called what?

A

suberin

32
Q

what is the pericycle?

A
  • conducts water toward vascular tissue

- produces secondary roots and bark

33
Q

what is in the stele (vascular cylinder)?

A

xylem- water

phloem- sap

34
Q

what does the stem do?

A
  • pathway for materials
  • support
  • produces other things
35
Q

what does the vascular tissue contain?

A
  • conductive cells
  • support fibers
  • parenchyma
36
Q

what are the conducting cells?

A
  • phloem (living at maturity with primary cell wall)

- xylem (dead at maturity with secondary cell wall)

37
Q

what is the primary growth in stems?

A

similar to growth of roots (not as distinct)

38
Q

in stems, the apical meristem is covered in what instead of cap?

A

leaf primordia

39
Q

what is the vascular cambium made up of?

A

cells from the embryonic procambium

40
Q

in dicots, what does the vascular cambium do?

A

makes a ring of phloem/xylem

41
Q

xylem becomes _____ and phloem becomes _______

A

heartwood, bark

42
Q

what do leaves do?

A
  • photosynthesis

- control water

43
Q

what is the blade?

A

main photosynthetic structure

44
Q

what is the petiole?

A

leaf stem

45
Q

what are the lead veins like in mono/dicots?

A

dicots- large central vein

monocots- parallel veins

46
Q

what are the 3 types of leaf arrangements?

A
  • alternate
  • whorled
  • opposite
47
Q

all parts of flower and spines of cacti are what?

A

specialized leaves

48
Q

succulents stop excessive water loss by having stomata in what?

A

pits
