sunken

26
Q

extensions from epidermis; protect from biotic and abiotic stresses

A

Trichomes

functions:
raises humidity of air in leaf surfaces
reduce light entering leaf; scattering irradiation
Physical and chemical barriers against herbivory
reduce evapotranspiration and water loss

27
Q

unicellular and unbranced
unicellular and branched
multicellular and unbranched
unicellular and branched
glandular
stinging hair

28
Q

Type of trichome:

29
Q

Type of Trichome:
short and stiff
inject component in animals as protection

A

Stinging hair
example: Uritcaceae

30
Q

unevenly thickened primary walls that exhibit plasticity
support young parts of plant shoot
at maturity can provide support withoyut restraining growth
derived from parenchyma

A

Lacunar Collenchyma

34
Q

Type of collenchyma:
evenly distributed primary wall thickenings with little to no intercellular spaces

A

Annular collenchyma

35
Q

Primary and secondary wall always lignified
more rigid and support plant by strength alone
dead but functional and mostly composed of secondary cell wall

A

sclerenchyma

36

Epidermis

functions:
prevent water loss
barrier against invasion
shield internal cells
prevents overheating

49
Q

In epidermis:
open in day; close at night
swell by absorbing water; shrink by losing water
entry of gases; prevent water loss

50
Q

in epidermis:
block incoming sunlight
deter herbivory
conserve moisture in leaves
some die at maturity but become secretory glands
