Plant Science Final Flashcards
A root that grows from other tissues besides root tissue is:
Meristematic Tissue
Area of Meristematic growth located in the leaf axis between the node and the stem
The flow of organelles that can be clearly seen in active leaf cells with a microscope is called:
An area in the root that increases the growth of the roots, it is said that these dividing cells can propel the root as much as 0.08” per day
A tap root is defined as a dominant root that develops downward, an example would be:
Area of growth that is refereed to as the termini and is the origin of all growth in the plant___
This structure in cells is made up of channels and pits that connect from cell and allow the flow of water and nutrients to pass between cells.
The organelles that have two membranes are:
agronomy and horticulture are:
growth that increases the height of the plant originates from the___
cultivation is:
The main function of these structures are to support and elevate the leaves, flowers and the fruit; also a delivery system for minerals and water. They also have a minor role in photosynthesis in some species
Vascular Cambium is meristematic tissue that gives rise to__
Epidermis is
The main function of these structures are to anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals
A corn plant would be an examples of a____
tissue that is comprised of the xylem and phloem and is used to transport water, minerals and sugars in the plant
The theory of endosymbiosis gives an explanatoin as to how cells came to have the following
The portion of the stem that is in-between nodes
The word cultivar refers to:
The girth or circumference of the stem increases due to divisions in the___
A soybean plant would be an example of a ____
A type of stem that has thick tissued and generally lives more than two years, an example is trees and shrubs
Tissue tat makes up the bulk of the plant
A slimy substance that aids the root in advancement in the soil
The caspian strip is a layer of cells that regulates the uptake of water and minerals in the root
Epidermal tissue is only located in growing leaf tissue
adventitiuous roots grow from areas of root apical meristems
Meristematic tissue is actively dividing tissue
branch roots arise from epidermal tissue
Root systems make up on average a small percentage of plant tissue; less than 10%
Root xylem is held in an “X” pattern and the phloem is said to be held in the arms of the xylem____
Vascular bundles are formed in an arranged pattern in the stem____
Vascular cambium is present in the stem and gives rise to secondary growth known as lateral meristematic growth____
Vascular bundles are scattered in the stem____
These roots have an area of pith located in the center of the vascular tissues___
Conducts food and metabolites from the leaves to stems, flowers, and roots
Tubular network that ttache to the nuclear envelope, sometimes ribsomes are attached
A single layer of tissue that is foud only in root tissue, it lies to te interior of the cortex and makes a ring around the vascular bundles
Occupies up to 90% of the cell space, maintains cell turgor
Thick netwrok that attaches to the nuclear envelope, sometimes ribosmes are attached
Thick compressed stems that grow underground
the study of plant growth, reproduction, evolution and adaptation, as well as the use of plants for food, fiber and ornamental purposes
Tissue that conducts water and dissolved minerals from the roots to shoots and beyond
Ions and water moving in the space outside of the plasma membrane move by ____ movement, ions and water moving in the inside of the plasma membrane move by_____ movement
Descried as the power of the cell, produces ATP
Tubular extensions of the epidermis that increases the surface area of the root
What is the equation for photosynthesis
If a flower is an incomplete perfect flower it has the following structures on the smae flower. An example would be a grass flower such as wheat or timothy
The carpel in the flower contains these structures
Th primary function fo this portion of the plant is photosynthesis
Transpiration serves what functions in the plant
Water is said to be most available to the plant is between field capacity and permanent wiliting point, which is measured as:
