photosynthesis
gas exchange
transport

47
Q

anchor plant function

hold plant in the ground

48
Q

absorption function

A

50
Q

tap root

A

A

3

53
Q

outer layer of a root (EPIDERMIS LAYER)

A

single layer of cells that absorb H2O

54
Q

root hairs

A

extend from the outer layer/epidermis layer and increase surface area for absorption

55
Q

middle layer of a root

A

stores food and H2O

56
Q

inner layer of a root

A

transports material through transport tubes

57
Q

2 types of transport tubes

A

xylem and phloem

58
Q

xylem

A

transports h2o and nutrients from roots to the leaves.

59
Q

phloem

A

transports food down from the leaves

60
Q

root tip

A

end of the tip. new roots grow here and grow down

61
Q

root cap

A

cup chaped cells that cover the root tip (helmet)

62
Q

2 types of plant stems

A

herbaceous and woody

63
Q

Herbaceous Stems-

A
  • soft, smooth & green.
  • usually do not grow taller than 2 meters. Plants with these stems
  • grow during spring & summer & then die.

ex; Tomato & bean plants

64
Q

Woody Stems-

A
  • thick & rough
  • may live for many growing seasons. They grow taller & wider each year.

ex; all trees

inactive xylem

72
Q

sapwood

A

active xylem

73
Q

palisade layer

long, narrow densely packed cells in the upper part of the
mesophyll. This is the main site for photosynthesis in the leaf.

74
Q

spongy layer

A

loosely packed cells on the lower part of the mesophyll.
Food making also occurs here, but not as much as the palisade layer.
