Angle between a leaf and a stem

31
Q

During winter, apical bud will produce?

A

Scale scars and leaf scars

32
Q

Function of scale scars?

A

Mark locations of previous apical buds/ Distance between two sets of scale scars represents one year of growth

33
Q

What are leaf scars?

A

Where a leaf has fallen

34
Q

Functions of stems?

A
  • Transport water + minerals from roots to leaves and flowers
  • Store food Eg: potatoes

  • Gas exchange Eg: lenticles
35
Q

What are leaves attached to?

A

Attached to stems at nodes

36
Q

What’s the petiole?

37
Q

What is venation?

A

Pattern of veins in a leaf

38
Q

What’s parallel venation?

A

Veins run alongside each other

39
Q

Where do you see parallel venation?

A

Most monocots

40
Q

Eg of parallel venation?

A

Grasses

41
Q

What’s net/reticulate venation?

A

Veins form a branching network through the lamina

42
Q

Where do you see net/reticulate venation?

A

Most common in dicots

43
Q

Eg of net/reticulate venation?

A

Horse chestnut

44
Q

Functions of leaves?

A
  • Make food (photosynthesis)
  • Exchange of gases (diffusion)
  • Store food (cabbage)
  • Lose water (cools plant allowing fresh water + mineral salts be taken in)
45
Q

How do leaves make food?

A

Photosynthesis

46
Q

How do leaves change gases?

A

Diffusion

47
Q

Eg of leaves that store food?

A

Cabbage

Q

Why do leaves lose water?

A

Cool down and let fresh water and mineral salts be taken in

49
Q

Function of ground tissue?

A

Occupies area between dermal + vascular tissues in a plant

50
Q

Xylem is made up of what 2 types of cells?

A

Vessels + tracheas

51
Q

52
Q

Location of xylem?

A

In roots, stems, leaves, flowers

53
Q

How is xylem found?

A

In vascular bundles

54
Q

Functions of xylem?

A

Transport water + minerals from roots to leaves

55
Q

Why is xylem good at its job?

A
  • narrow
  • thick walls
  • continuous tube
  • no cell contents
  • water attracted to the walls
56
Q

What’s phloem made of?

A

Sieve tubes and companion cells

57
Q

Are companion cells alive or dead?

A

Alive

58
Q

Is phloem a living or dead tissue

A

Living

59
Q

How do sieve tubes form?

A

When individual cells join end-to-end

60
Q

Describe what sieve tubes look like?

A

Long, tubular structures

61
Q

Location of phloem?

A

Found in roots, stems, leaves, flowers

62
Q

What do sieve tubes do?

A

Transports the food

62
Q

Function of phloem?

A

Transport sucrose/food made by photosynthesis from leaves to rest of the plant

63
Q

What do sieve plates do?

A

Separate sieve tubes

64
