Q

Dermal tissue or epidermis

A

The outermost cell layer of plants;

22
Q

One cell layer and is responsible for…

A

The exchange of matter and gases into and out of the plant

23
Q

In woody plants, the epidermis is replaced by…

A

Cork and bark during the secondary growth stage of the development

24
Q

The dermal tissue of the shoot system organs, the leaves and stem…

A

Is primarily involved in gas exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen

25
The dermal tissue also protects the plant from
disease
26
Cuticle
Waxy, non-celluar, waterproof coating that covers a plant's leaves and stems
27
Dermal tissue of the root system is responsible for
The uptake of water and mineral salts
28
Ground tissue
Parts of the plant body not included in the dermal or vascular tissue systems
29
Ground tissue in the stem provides...
Strength and support to the plant
30
Ground tissue in the roots involves
Food and waste storage
31
Ground tissue in the leaves involves the location..
Where photosynthesis occurs
32
The cells of the ground tissue are...
Loosely packed together and the air spaces between cells allow gases to diffuse rapidly through the ground tissue
33
Vascular tissue
Responsible for the transport of materials throughout the plant
34
Xylem tissue
Moves water and dissolved minerals from the roots up to the stem to the leaves where they substances are used in photosynthesis
35
Xylem vessels are
Thick-walled tubes of varying diameters
36
The contents of the cytoplasm...
Break down and the cells die
37
Non-living ducts are responsible for the...
Movement of water and minerals up the stem
38
Phloem tissue
Transports sucrose and other dissolved sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant
39
Sieve tube cells
Cylindrical cells lacking nuclei and with perforated sides and end walls that allow the movement of phloem sap between cells
40
What happens when sieve tube cells remain alive?
They use lose their nuclei
41
Companion cells
Type of small phloem cells adajecent to sieve tube cells that appear to control sugar transport in the phloem
42
Companion cells are used to provide...
Energy for celluar processes or converted into cellulose
43
Cellulose forms...
Fibrous structures for strength and support
44
Cells become specialized because...
They need to perform a particular function and produce only the products needed for that function
45
Cells that become part of the root system and are responsible for...
The absorption of water and minerals from the soil, produce tiny hair like projections called root hairs.
46
Root hairs
Extension of a specialized dermal cell on a plant root, which absorbs water and minerals
47
Dermal cells of the shoot system produce...
Cuticle to protect the plants cells from water loss
48
The lower epidermal surface of leaves develops...
Specific cells called guard cells that form tiny pores called stomata for gas exchange
49
The guard cells are the only cells in the epidermis that contain...
Chloroplasts
50
The upper epidermis usually has fewer stomata than the...
Lower epidermis
51
Cells that become part of the xylem in the vascular tissue specialize to be able to...
Conduct water and to allow the transport of water to adjecent cells. These cells die during differentation of the xylem
