plants!!! Flashcards
what are the three tissues formed during plant development?
epidermal, ground, vascular
what is epidermal tissue?
it’s the outside tissue it has the outer coverings
what is ground tissue?
The middle tissue that supports, stores water, food, photosynthesis
what is vascular tissue?
circulatory system that includes xylem and phloem
what are three types of dermal cells?
Guard cells,trichomes, root hairs 
what are the three types of ground tissue?
parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
what do your guard cells do?
they are dumbbells shaped cells around the stomata
what are tri-combs?
hair like outgrowths that regulate micro climate
what are root hairs?
tubular extensions of epidermal cells that increase roots surface area
what does parenchyma do?
stores food and water(ex:apple)
what does collenchyma do?
provide support for plants organs
what does sclerenchyma do?
supporting function is able to support even in dead state( ex: fibers like linen)
what does xylem do?
The principle water conducting tissue
combinations of vessels and tracheids
what does phloem do?
Food conducting tissue
What does a root do?
an organ that anchors the vascular plant, absorb minerals and waters, stores organic nutrients to be used for flowering and fruit production
what are the main types of modified roots?
prop roots, storage roots, strangling aerial roots, buttress roots and air roots
what are stems?
stems are an organ consisting of alternating systems of nodes that point at which leaves are attached to
what is an auxiliary bud?
is a structure that has the potential to form a lateral shoot or branch
what is a terminal bud?
is located near the shoot tip and causes elongation of a young shoot
what are angiosperms?
Flowering plants that have dicot and monocot’s
what are dicots?
two seeds or two cotyledon
there are MORE dicots than mono
what are monocots?
one seed or one cotyledon
have NO secondary growth
what are meristems?
Regions of unspecialized cells in plants that are capable of cell division
Apical meristems
Produce and elongation of roots and shoots located at the end of the tips
