Practical Flashcards
Primary cell wall stains:
Purple because cellulose in cell wall
Cell with secondary cell wall stains:
blue because it has lignin
Onion cell
cells long and rounded, nucleus is pushed to the side of the cell because of the vacuole
Elodea
Chloroplasts: Oval shape, function in photosynthesis, Cytoplasmic streaming
Cytoplasmic streaming
cytoskeleton movement
potato
Amyloplasts for starch storage, good energy source
Druse
Calcium oxylate crystal , found in central vacuole. little star shaped thingy
Apical meristem leaves surrounding
dome shaped, the leaves surrounding are leaf primordia they protect
Apical meristem what cells
tunica and corpus
tunica
top of apical meristem gives rise to epidermis
corpus
towards the center of the dome, gives rise to the rest of the plant body
Parenchyma
pith and cortex
cortex parenchyma
cells are smaller and aid in photosynthesis
pith parenchyma
larger and function as storage cells
chlorenchyma
photosynthetic parenchyma cells with chloroplasts just below the epidermis
Water lilly left parenchyma
arenchyma (filled with large air spaces) has astrosclerids
celery collenchyma
primary wall uneven and thick. the bundles found just under the epidermis. looks like checkers
sclerenchyma types (2)
astrosclerids and brachysclerid
