review for plant 2 past Flashcards
Bryophytes
Angiosperms
flowering plants
Flowers – specialized structures for reproduction
Ovules are inside of Ovaries
Double fertilization
Seeds are contained within fruits
seed plants
all plants
Write out the formula for photosynthesis
CO2 + H20 + sunlight (energy) Glucose + O2
Write out the formula for cellular respiration
Glucose + O2 CO2 + H2O + ATP (energy)
Explain three different things that plants use the glucose they make in photosynthesis to do.
Glucose molecules can also be used as building blocks for more complex carbohydrates (= polysaccharides)
cellulose
What are three purposes of plant roots?
Anchor plant in soil
Absorb water and minerals
Store carbs
What specific part of the root does the most absorption?
fine roots
What is the primary purpose of leaves?
produce food for the plant by photosynthesis
also for green color, absorbs light
Why can plants absorb lots of water without rupturing the cell?
When the plant cell becomes full, water still keeps flowing into it due to osmosis
dermal plant tissue
Protective outer coating against damage, pathogens, water loss
Non-woody plants
Epidermis covered with waxy cuticle
vascular tissue
transport materials throughout plant
structural support
Xylem – water and minerals – root to shoots
Phloem – sugars from sources (mature leaves) to sinks (developing leaves, fruits, flowers)
xylem
water conducting cells
- walls hardened with lignin
- dead at maturity
- Creates pipes
phloem
alive at maturity
lack many major organelles (nucleus, cytoskeleton…)
Easier for fluids to move through
cell walls are porous
associated with companion cells that carry out metabolic functions for them
ground tissue
Makes up most of plant tissue
cells for metabolism, storage, support, photosynthesis
Support:
Long slender cells with thick cell walls
May be reinforced with lignin
Can be bundled together for added strength
These are fibers used to make hemp, linen
cuticle
prevents water loss
Palisade mesophyl
contains lots of chloroplasts where most photosynthesis happens
Spongy mesophyll
also photosynthesis; lots of air spaces for gas exchange
Explain the difference between determinate and indeterminate growth
ceasing growth when certain size is reaches
growing throughout life
What are apical meristems, where are they located, and what kind of plant growth are they responsible for?
at root and shoot tips
elongation of roots and shoots due to cell division at apical meristems
root caps protect the meristems
root cap
protects the apical meristem
