Plant cells, tissues, and organs

Question 1

Cell specilization?

Answer 1

when a generic ell produced by mitosis is developed into a cell with specific functions
(the RNA is half of DNA and when in a robosome it created different proteins that will determine the type of cell it becomes)

Question 2

Meristem Cells?

Answer 2

unspecilized plant cell - can be anything

Question 3

3 types of tissues in plants and thier functions

Answer 3

1. Derman Tissue:
   surrounds the plant organs
   barrier betwwen plant and enviornment
2. Ground tissue:
   preforms photosntheis
   provides support for the plants body
3. Vascular tissue
   xylem and phloem
   transports water, nutrients, and sugar throughout the plant

Question 4

4 plant organs

Answer 4

1. roots
2. stem
3. leaf
4. flower (reproductive organ)

Question 5

Meristem in plants (3 places)

Answer 5

at the top (terminal bud)
in the roots
on the sides (lateral bud)

Question 6

auxin

Answer 6

growth hormone in the buds
if u remove the terminal bud teh lateral bud activates and the plant grows wider instead of taller

Question 7

Leafs job

Answer 7

have a large surface area where photosynthesis can occur because of the chloroplast
granum: inside the chloroplast

Question 8

Parts of the leaf

Answer 8

Cutical: waxy surface that makes leaf waterproof

spongy cells: contains gas to help with photosynthesis
palisade cells: preforms most of photosynthesis
–> (both of which are apart of the mesophyl)

Xylem, Phloem (vascular tissue)

Upper & Lower Epidermis : single layer that covers leaf

Gaurd cell & stomata - allow gasses to move in and out of the leaf
- when the stomata opens carbon dioxide goes inside and oxygen and water goes out

Question 9

Stem functions

Answer 9

transport nutrients, water, waste to places in the plant
provides physical support fot xylem and phloem

Question 10

Xylem?

Answer 10

carries water and nurtients from the roots to the leaves for photosynthesis

Question 11

Phloem?

Answer 11

takes the gluecose/sugars from the leaves down to the roots for storage

Question 12

Roots functions

Answer 12

anchor of the plant to the ground
takes water and nutrients from soil
stores gluecose and starch for the next season

Question 13

the flower function

Answer 13

used for the plants reproduction
stamen - male part
pistil - female part

Question 14

Galls?

Answer 14

plant tumours
