topi 5a Flashcards
taproot
root system whitch all branch off of one large root
fibrosis
root ssytem of which is net - like
monocot
Flower parts in groups of three
Leaves are smooth and parallel veins
Vascular bundles are scattered
Fibrous root system
One cotyledon in seed
cotyledon
leaf within the embroy read to sprout
1 within monocot seeds
2 within dicot seeds
Nodes
area where leafs leave the stem
Dicot
Flower parts in groups of five
Leaves are palmate with netlike veins
Vascular bundles are ringed
Taproot system
Two cotyledons in seed
Apical meristen
located in the tips of roots and shoot they boost vertical growth.
Longitudial meristen
located in the perimeter of the roots and shoots they boost lateral growth (girth).
periderm
dermial tissue type
( bark in stems and roots of trees and shrubs)
Replaces the epidermis as the plant ages for stems, trees and shrubs
Includes several layers of cork cells and lateral meristem (cork cambium) which is the outer dead bark
collenchyma
type of ground tissue used for fexible support extra wall material in corners of cells
mycorrhizae
nitrogen fixing bacteria
nitrogen fixing
active transport assisted by mycorrhizae fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The fungi increase surface area for the plant and the bacteria digest the nitrogen the the product is usable by the plant, hence symbiotic relationship.
cohesion/ ahesion theory
the suction of water from the leaves is built by the difference of atmospheric pressure built by the stomata causes the water to move due to the strong hydrogen bonds and the adhesion encourages the water to remain connected to the surface of the xylem and phloem.
stomatal regulation how?
Stomatal opening is regulated as the water move through osmosis k+ ions
source and sink theory
Sugars are moving from both roots and shoots (leaves)
Pressure flow hypothesis states that the sugar moves to sites of low concentration. The water absorbed creates a water slide (sink) (and pressure) for the sugar that is being pushed into the phloem towards the lower pressure, there is gets pushed to the lower concentrated areas known as the sinks
