Q

The endodermis in the root system is responsible for

A

delineating the innermost boundary of the cortex

25
Q

The stele in the root system is responsibel for

A

the ring of ground tissue that surrounds vascular tissue

26
Q

The xylem is

A

the star-shaped bundle of large, hollow cells at the center of the stele

27
Q

The pith is

A

a central mass of parenchyma cells in monocots

28
Q

All of the cells between the upper and lower epidermis in leaves comprise of

A

the mesophyll

29
Q

Stomata are responsible for what and located where?

A

epidermal layers in leaves
allow for gas exchange between mesophyll and external air

30
Q

The shoot system comprises of

A

stem, leaves, buds, flowers

31
Q

the root system comprises of

A

fibrous, taproot

32
Q

Water potential consists of the two pressures:

A

osmotic pressure(solute concentration) and physical pressure within the cell

33
Q

The walls of endodermal cells contain a waxy layer of the suberin called the

A

casparian strip

34
Q

The casparian strip is responsible for

A

the wax seals off the apoplast route of entry into the stele

35
Q

The only way to pass the casparian strip is

A

through the symplast of the endodermis

36
Q

True or false: root pressure alone can generate enough force to raise water up the leaves of trees

A

false. root pressure is the upward push of fluid in the xylem. To reach higher than ten feet, plants rely on cohesive properties of water

37
Q

Transpiration is defined as

A

the evaporative water loss from the aerial portion of a plant. The water is lost through stomata

38
Q

Transpiration in plants can be demonstrated by

A

using a device known as a potometer

39
Q

Guard cells play an important role in

A

conserving water by controlling the size of the stomata

40
Q

Guard cells change size according to

A

changes of potassium ion concentration in the cytoplasm

41
Q

The sporophyte produces…resulting in…

A

haploid cells by meiosis, resulting in multicellular haploid micro and mega spores, the gametophyte genration

42
Q

The four kinds of floral organs that arise from meristematic tissues are: and are attached to the shoot/stem via..

A

sepals, petals, stamens, carpals
attached by the recpetacle

43
Q

stamens and carpels are responsible for … while petals and sepals are …

A

stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs of the plant, male and female

petals and sepals are leaves used to attract pollinators and protect their reproductive structures
