30
Q

What are pits

A

Holes in the cell to allow water to go through

31
Q

Distinguish between simple and boardered pits

A

Simple pits are flat

Bordered pits overlap (stacked)

32
Q

Which cell types in wood has simple pits?

A

Fiber cells

33
Q

Which cell types of wood has bordered pits?

A

Tracheids

34
Q

What are functions of simple and bordered pits?

A

Allow water to go through

35
Q

Do gymnosperms have tracheids or vessel elements?

A

Tracheids

36
Q

Do angiosperms have tracheids or vessel elements?

A

They have both

37
Q

Which cell types in wood has a perforation plate?

A

Vessel elements

38
Q

Which is more efficient at collecting water, tracheids or vessel elements?

A

Vessel elements are more efficient at conducting water because they are shorter and wider, have thin cell walls, and have a perforation plate

Tracheids have no perforation plate, are smaller, and thicker

39
Q

How are vascular bundles arranged in the stem of monocots such as corn

A

Randomly arranged

40
Q

What accounts for the joint appearance of corn stalk and bamboo stems?

A

Intercalary meristem

41
Q

Are grasses monocots or dicot

A

Monocots

42
Q

When the lawn is mowed is the apical meristem destroyed?

A

No, the apical meristem is at the bottom

???

43
Q

How does cut or mowed grass re grow?

A

From the apical meristem

44
Q

How do monocots and herbaceous dicot stems differ?

A

The vascular bundles are in rings in dicot and disperse randomly in monocots

45
Q

How are monocots and herbaceous dicots stems alike?

A

All have the same components

46
Q

Is coleus a monocots, a herbaceous dicot, or a woody dicot

A

Herbaceous dicot

47
Q

How do you know whether coleus is monocot, herbaceous dicot, or woody dicot

A

The vascular bundles are in rings

48
Q

Is mokernut hickory: a monocot, a herbaceous dicot, or a woody dicot?

How do you know?

A

A woody dicot

Why?: hickory is wood, and it’s vascular bundles contain rings.
