Plants Flashcards
plant features
photoautotrophic, chlorophyll, producers, indeterminate growth, rooted, rigid cell walls
animal features
chemoheterotrophic, consumers, determinate growth, free moving
what is special about plant cells
rigid cell walls, cannot move
what are two types of angiosperms
monocots and eudicots
how many catyledons do monocots and eudicots have
1 and 2
leafs of monocots
parallel veins
leafs of eudicots
branched veins
how are vascular bundles arranged in monocots
in complex arrangements
how are vascular bundles arranged in eudicots
in rings
what types of roots do monocots and eudicots have
fibrous and taproot
how many floral parts in monocots, in eudicots?
3 and 4/5
what are the three types of simple tissues
parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
which simple tissues are alive and which are dead
alive = parenchyma and collenchyma
dead = sclerenchyma
what is the function of parenchyma
metabolic functions and aeration of roots
what is the structure of parenchyma
isodiametric shape, thin and flexible primary cell wall
what is the function of collenchyma
provides flexible support without restraint
what is the structure of collenchyma
elongated, unevenly thickened primary cell wall, flexible and elastic
what is the function of sclerenchyma
provides mechanical strength and stiffness
what is the structure of sclerenchyma
thin and rigid primary wall, inflexible and inelastic, second wall encrusted with lignin
what are the other sources of support for plants besides tissues
tugor pressure and cellulose walls
what are the two types of sclerenchyma
sclereids and fibers
what are sclereids function and structure
defense, boxy and irregular
what are fibres structure
grouped in strands, long, slender, and tapered
what are the two types of complex tissues
xylem and phloem
