A

Sclerenchyma

44
Q

Three (3) types of parenchyma

A
  1. Chlorenchyma
  2. Glandular cells
  3. Transfer cells
45
Q

  • many guard cells
A

Chlorenchyma

46
Q

capable of producing nectar and resin

A

Glandular cells

47
Q
  • specialized parenchyma cells
  • facilitate the transport of sugars from a sugar source, mainly mature leaves, to a sugar sink, often developing leaves or fruits
A

Transfer cells

48
Q
  • typically found at elongating shoot tips
  • absent in developing roots
A

Collenchyma

49
Q
  • mature cells
  • undergo lignification
A

Sclerenchyma

50
Q

enhance plant cell wall rigidity, hydrophobic properties and promotes minerals transport through the vascular bundles in plant

a slender whiplike or threadlike strand, produced usually from the node of a stem, by which a vine or other plant may climb

A

Stem tendrils

74
Q

slender stem that grows horizontally along the ground, giving rise to roots and aerial (vertical) branches at specialized points called nodes

75
Q

fleshy underground stems

76
Q

Example of a rhizome

77
Q
  • modified stem that is the resting stage of certain seed plant
  • consists of a relatively large, usually globe-shaped, underground bud with membranous or fleshy overlapping leaves arising from a short stem
78
Q

flattened stem

A

Cladophyll

79
Q

enlarged underground stems that store nutrients, surrounded by papery outer layers

81
Q

Arrangement of primary tissues

A

function is related to tis structure

82
