A

Hydrophytes: .

68
Q

Stomata sunken in pits creates local humidity/decreases exposure to air currents;

Presence of hairs creates local humidity next to leaf/decreases exposure to air currents by reducing flow around stomata;

Thick waxy cuticle makes more waterproof impermeable to water;

A

Xerophytes

69
Q

Stomata on inside of rolled leaf creates local humidity/decreases exposure to air currents because water vapour evaporates into air space rather than atmosphere

Fewer stomata decreases transpiration as this is where water is lost

A

Xerophytes

70
Q

Adaptations of Hydrophytes

Have lots of air spaces in their tissues to help them float in water
little to no mechanical tissue for more water resistance and buoyancy, and less resistance against water currents

78
Q

In temperate climates, most woody plants with broad leaves shed leaves in fall
– Helps them survive low temperatures of winter

Involves physiological and anatomical changes

A

Leaf Abscission

79
Q

Processes of Abscission

A

As autumn approaches, plant reabsorbs sugar
– essential minerals are transported out of leaves

Chlorophyll is broken down
– red water-soluble pigments are synthesized and stored in vacuoles of leaf cells (in some species)
A protective layer of cork cells develops on the stem side of the abscission zone

– Area where leaf petiole detaches from stem, composed primarily of thin-walled parenchyma cell
Enzymes dissolve middle lamella in abscission zone

– (“cement” that holds primary cell walls of adjacent cells together)

After leaf detaches, protective layer of cork seals off the area, forming a leaf scar

Continue to grow year after year. May be herbaceous or woody. Majority of vascular plant species. Able to flower and produce seeds and fruit for an indefinite number of growing seasons. (E.g. Mangoes) Except for bamboos that flower every 60 to 130 years.

82
Q

83
Q

The plants never appear completely bare.

A

Evergreen

84
Q

Grow, flower, and form fruits and seeds within one growing season and die when the process is complete. (“One time, big time”)
are important to humans, scientists are trying to breed crops to have perennial life cycles to maximize crop yield (but not yet accomplished).

A

Annuals

85
Q

Have life cycles that take two years to complete.

During the first year, products of photosynthesis are stored in underground organs.

During the second year of growth, flowering stems are produced using energy stored in the storage roots.

Developed roots because they use it for food reserves to produce flowers (sexual reproduction); but humans don’t allow perennial crops to finish their life cycle because they harvest them.

Not because for crop production of humans.
