Test 2 Flashcards
what is closed root maturation
all 3 regions arise from the same initials
what is primary growth?
the upward growth of a plant though the apical meristem
what is lateral growth?
the outward growth of plants through the vascular cambium.
what is a cambium?
a tissue that does outward growth.
what is the vascular cambium?
the meristimatic tissue that gives rise to xylem on the inside and phloem on the outside.
what tissues are in the periderm?
cork, cork cambium
What are the Functions of stems?
The leaf trace gap is below what structure in a stem?
The Bud Primordium
What line of cells in a stem run from the Bud primordial through the leaf?
The Leaf Trace
What are Auxiliary buds?
buds in the axis of leaves and shoots
What is the main difference between long and short shoots (besides length)?
The possession of leaves and other external structures.
Modopodial branching branches in what style?
alternating
sympodial branching branches in what style?
randomly
what is the main difference between sympodial and monopodial branching?
the initial shoot is redirected laterally in sympodial branching whereas it continues up directly in monopodial branching.
what is the function of the endodermis?
to prevent water from leaking into the vascular cylander
where is the pith located?
in the center of the shoot.
T/F a pith can break down and be pulled apart into a cavity?
True
the vascular cambium is what meristem?
the lateral meristem
the vascular ccambium has 2 “faces”. what are the two “faces” of the cambium?
the xylem and phloem
the vascular cambium divides periclinal or anticlinaly?
Periclinally
why do pants have ray cells?
the lateral movement of water and photosynthates in the plant.
what are the two types of initials in the vascular cambium?
Fusiform initial, and the ray initial
what do fusiform initials give rise to?
xylem and phloem
fusiform and ray initials are what to each other?
perpendicular
non storied cambium has what?
strongly overlapping ends
Storied cambium are arranged at what?
horizontal tiers
what species lost the vascular cambium?
austrobaliales, magnoliids, eudicots.
the arrangement of parenchyma cells in xylem are one of 3 types, what are those types?
Apotracheal (randomly grouped), banded pattern, and paratracheal.
T/F Initials do not make new derivatives on either side.
F, initials give rise to derivatives and new initials on both sides.
what structure associated with transporting water and nutrients is not associated with xylem?
vessel elements
what is an intafascicular cambium?
a cambium that develops in the vascular bundles to provide structure.
what tissue is in betweent the phloem and the epidermis?
the cortex
what is in betwen the cortex and the epedermis?
periderm
Storied cambium are arranged at what?
horizontal tier
what is xylem that has been produce by the vascular cambium called?
secondary xylem
what is a soft wood?
a wood from a gymnosperm
in soft woods their rays are mostly uniseriate, this means what?
They are only one cell layer wide.
Resin canals do what in a plant?
they are multicellular sclerids that excrete and create resin for the cell.
rays can consist of
Parenchyma (homocellular) and Tracheids (Heterocellular)
what are hard woods
Angiosperms, or wood that has vessel elemens.
are late or early wood vessels newly made vessels?
Late
Ring porous wood is what?
Banded
Diffuse porous wood is what?
can hollow trees still be alive?
yes
What is reaction wood?
Branch or stem that grows to counteract the force of an inclined position.
there are 2 types of reaction wood, what are they?
Tension wood and compression wood
What is Tension wood?
Tension wood is found in angiosperms and creates force that move the tree up.
what is compression wood?
wood that is found on the underside to support the bend
what are the 3 parts of secondary growth in palms?
Central Cylinder, cortex, and pseudobark.
T/F in monocots the vascular cambium can make vascular bundles on either side.
True
