28
Q

widening occurs at the secondary meristems

A

true

29
Q

xylem that grows in the spring, paler and more spongy

A

spring wood

30
Q

xylem that grows in the summer, darker and more compact

A

summer wood

31
Q

how palm trees / coconut increase their vascular tissues and fiber cells in the stem.

They increase their vascular tissues and fiber cells in the stem.

A

anomalous secondary growth

32
Q

secondary growth is produced by _______ which produces secondary xylem (wood) to the inside and secondary phloem (inner bark) to the outside.

A

vascular cambium

33
Q

Thin, somewhere between the blue-green and maroon cells.
Pushes the phloem outside the cell.
Secondary xylem tissues are pushing the primary xylem tissues to the center of the stem.

A

Vascular cambium:

34
Q

provides structural support but no
longer transports water

xylem

A

Heartwood

35
Q

layer transports water to other parts of the tree

A

Sapwood

36
Q

A lateral meristem that produces cork parenchyma to the inside and cork cells to the outside.

A

CORK CAMBIUM

37
Q

Cork cambium and the tissues it produces make up the outer _____ of a woody
plant.

secondary phloem and periderm
Arises near the stem’s surface.

A

bark

38
Q

The secondary xylem nearest the center is the oldest; this layer has a large diameter of xylem vessels.
Spring; has abundant water supply and plants tend
to exhibit rapid growth→ tend to have larger plant vessels.

A

Earlywood “Springwood”

39
Q

Summer, water supply is limited and plant growth slows down → produces smaller plant vessel elements.

A

Latewood “Summerwood”

40
Q

Autumn and Winter. Almost no plant growth; plants are dormant and stop producing leaves.
We can track the change in season for temperate species.

A

true

41
Q

Central part; Older xylem vessels, no longer functional. Most of the secondary products are deposited in the hardwood. Heavily lignified and darker in color.
Stronger and durable. Can survive hollow or without sapwood.

A

Heartwood:

42
Q

Functional part of the xylem. Younger xylem vessels that undergo functions to transport water and nutrients.

A

sapwood

43
Q

trees won’t survive if there is no sapwood or inner bark (phloem) because won’t be able to conduct metabolic processes.

A

true

44
Q

Unsuberized cells beneath the stomata.
Permit gas exchange to continue in older stems.
Produced along with cork cells, by the cork cambium.
Varies in shape.

A

LENTICELS

45
Q

LENTICELS are Also found in:

A

Surfaces of leaves in certain taxa (genus and species)
Surfaces of fruits, e.g. apples, pears, plums.
On potato tubers and sweet potato roots.

46
Q

Economic Importance of Stem

A

Food
Medicine
Paper
Resin

47
Q

is a woody swelling of the root crown possessed by some plants as a protection against destruction of the plant stem, such as by fire.

A

Lignotubers

48
Q

young plant of bananas

A

Suckers

49
Q

trichomes can be Multi-seriate/multi-cellular or UNICELLULAR in stems, branching

A

true

50
Q

vertically oriented

Example: crocus

A

Corm

51
Q

The thickened end of a rhizome that is fleshy and enlarged for food storage Example: white potato

A

Tuber

52
Q

A rounded, fleshy underground bud that consists of a short stem with fleshy leaves Example: onion

A

Bulb

53
Q

An aerial horizontal stem with long internodes; often forms buds that develop into separate plants.
Asexual reproduction; clone of the motherplant.

A

Stolons:

54
Q

Stems that twine around, supports, and aid in climbing.

A

Tendrils

55
Q

Flattened, photosynthetic stems that resemble leaves.
Extreme conditions → Extreme adaptations with the stem performing the functions of the leaves.

A

Cladophylls

56
Q

Fibers from which plant are are extracted from the stem and tured into different textiles.

A

ramie

57
Q

High-quality charcoal from mangrove species, but these is already banned because preserving thrmprovide a better benefit for the environment and the ecosystem.

A

Mangrove charcoals:

58
Q

Staple food in the Pacific and in some places of Africa.

A

Colocaisa esculenta (Taro or gabi):

59
Q

Powder is extracted from the plant of cinnamomum verum. Wasabi: Extracted from the storage stem of the eutrema japonicum.

A

Cinnamon:

60
Q

Cork of the plant makes the wine bottle corks.

A

Quercus suber:

61
Q

Harvesting cork should be done carefully because cork cambium should not be harvested (the one responsible for making more cork), as well as the inner bark (secondary phloem), otherwise the tree will die.

A
62
Q

plant Used to polish the bones. The varnish, not the colors.

A

Toxicodendron vernicifluum

63
Q

plant that make laquer

A

Rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis)

64
Q

Very previous resin extracted from Agathis philippinensis (endangered) and belongs to the indigenous people.

A

Manila copal

65
Q

Another important resin extracted from canarium luzonicum. Relative of the pili nut tree. Also used in cosmetics.

A

Elemi resin
