Test 2 Flashcards
seeds
reproductive structure produced by angiosperms
sexual repro
contains embryo that develops into seedlings
stored food
protective covering
alternation of generations
alternation between a diploid(2N) from a sporophyte and a haploid(1N) from a gametophyte
gametophyte
gamete producing plant form
multicellular(2 or 7)
microscopic in flowering plants
grow and develop in flowers
mitosis
1N to 1N and 1N`
sporophyte
spore producing plant form
multicellular
large plant in flowering plants
meiosis and cytokinesis
2N to 4N
syngamy
fertilization resulting in a diploid zygote that undergoes mitosis to form an embryo
embryo
sporophyte that lies dormant inside a seed with a food supply and seed coat until conditions are favorable
plant body
composed of stem, leaves, and roots
shoot stem
stems that produces leaves and branches that bear reproductive structures (fruit, flower, seed)
leaves that are flattened structures specialized in photosynthesis
root system
roots provide an anchor into the soil, store food/ water, and absorb water/ minerals
intermediate growth
increase in size until the plant dies
3 means of growth
- increase number of cells
- increase cell size
- increase weight
development
- flowers and flower buds develop
- flower tissue protects and encloses gametophytes
- fruit encloses the seed
determinant growth
modified stem and leaf
meristem
cell factories that make seedlings and mature plants
produce new tissue
dormant meristems occur at shoot and root tips
mature sporophyte development
plants undergo vegetative and reproductive growth
specialized cells, tissue, organs, organ system, root/shoot system, then plant
primary growth
plant organs elongate
primary tissue produced from apical meristems
primary xylem
vascular conducting tissue
water and minerals
primary phloem
vascular conducting tissue
food and solutes
epidermis
dermal tissue
protection
parenchyma
most abundant
storage
cortex/ pith
collenchyma
protection and support of growing organs
cortex
sclerenchyma
protection and support of non-elongating organs
cortex
secondary growth
expansion of plant organs
lateral meristems
roots and stems only
produces secondary woody tissue
lateral meristems
increases diameter of plant organ
ring of cells
produces secondary tissue
secondary xylem
wood
secondary phloem
outer bark
periderm
outer bark
eudicots
oak, hickories, elm, roses, mums
primary growth in all, secondary in some
monocots
grass, lilies, tulips, irises
primary growth only
root system
absorb water/ nutrients, store nutrients/ water, and anchor plant
taproot
eudicot
one main root
fibrous root
monocot
spread out shallowly under the dirt
root cell divison
root apical meristem and root cap
RAM contains dividing cells
root tips embed into lubricating mucigel
root elongation
cells extend via H2O uptake
root maturation
root cell differentiation and tissue specialization
identified by root hairs that increase uptake
internal root
root cortex
endodermis
meristematic pericycle encloses root vascular tissue
woody roots produce primary vascular tissue
root cortex
epidermis enclosed in cylinder of parenchyma
rich in starch
intercellular air spaces
endodermis
selective absorption of minerals
inner layer
vascular cylinder
pericycle, primary xylem, and primary phloem
eudicot root
outer epidermis
cortex ring between
inner endodermis
inner-most circle is vascular cylinder
3 phloem and 1 xylem
monocot root
same epidermis, cortex ring, and endodermis as eudicot
vascular cylinder has no xylem, but a pith
pith
storage tissue
shoot system
stem node
internode
leaf
axillary meristem
terminal bud
axillary meristem
generates axillary buds
produces flowers and branches
new branches have SAM at tip
terminal bud
end of each shoot with SAM
leaf anatomy
upper epidermis
mesophyll
lower epidermis
primary xylem and phloem center
stomata for gas exchange
net venation
eudicot
veins arranged in fine network
parallel venation
monocot
veins are parallel to one another
stems
primary growth
mostly above ground
potatoes have modifies stems
eudicot stems
elongation during primary growth
expansion during secondary growth
vascular bundles form a ringed pattern
pith and cortex
primary phloem is external, primary xylem is internal
