plant: nutrition, defense, hormones Flashcards
(28 cards)
what is a major source of plant nutrition?
photosynthesis because of the inorganic molecules are macronutrients
Why do plants need flexible adaptations to their environment?
Because they are unable to move from their location
What is a characteristic of plans that allows the flexible development at the nodes?
modularity 
what is the procambium In a plant generator tissue called?
Phloem or xylem
where does the embryo grow due to the apical meristem at the top of the shoot?
upward
when the embryo develops leaves this allows what to produce during photosynthesis?
carbohydrates
What type of growth for apple trees have due to vascular cambium?
secondary growth
what does secondary growth produce towards the inside of the plant?
xylem is produce during secondary growth towards the inside of the plant
what is produced towards the outside of the plant during secondary growth?
Phloem is produce towards the outside of the plant during secondary growth
What specific type of tissue makes up the source of tissue cells for all wood?
tracheids
what are spongy mesophyll?
-made up of ground tissue
- have space for gas exchange
- allow for evaporation
what are the cells that surround the nerves angiosperm phloem cells?
- they are called companion cells
- they are required as philemon cells are specialized and cannot survive alone
- have plasmodesmata
what are ground tissue?
includes cells that provide structural support like collenchyma
what is a precursor to tissue which differentiates into root hairs?
protoderm
linen is an example of …?
sclerenchyma
what makes up the center of an apple?
parenchyma
what is a type of root modification?
carrot
what is tendril?
a specialized leaf
what is a sieve tube member?
phloem
annual rings in a tree trunk results?
The variations and cell size due to different growth conditions throughout
what has been increasing in the atmosphere for over 100 years?
carbon dioxide
Plants near micro nutrients such as:
-nitrogen to make proteins
- carbon dioxide for photosynthesis
leaves…?
-have stomata on their lower surfaces
- get water primary from transpiration in vascular plants
- can have spongy and palisade mesophyll
What is not a property of water that exist in plant transpiration?
WATER FREEZES AT A PARTICULARLY LOW TEMPERSTURE
THIS IS NOT A PROPERTY OF WATER THAT ASSIST IN PLANT TRANSPIRATION
