|
|
During theformation of leaves and elongation of stem, some cells ‘left behind’ fromshoot apical meristem, constitute the ___________. |
Axillary Bud |
These buds are present in the axil of the leaves and capable of forming a branch or flower. |
|
Themeristem which occurs between mature tissues is known as ___________meristem. |
Intercalary |
|
|
Intercalary meristems occur in __1__ and regenerate parts removed by the____2_____ |
1.grasses 2. Grazing herbivores |
|
|
Both apical meristems and intercalary meristems are_________ meristems because they appear early in life of a plant andcontribute to the formation of the primary plant body. |
Primary |
|
|
The meristem that occurs in the mature regions of roots and shoots ofmany plants, particularly those that produce woody axis and appearlater than primary meristem is called the _________ or _________ meristem |
Secondary or lateral |
|

SPORE |
|
Characteristics of parenchyma |
1.Their walls are thin and madeup of cellulose. 2.They may either be closely packedor have small intercellular spaces. 3.Theparenchyma performs various functions likephotosynthesis, storage, secretion. |
|
|
The ___1___ occurs in layers below theepidermis in most of the dicotyledonous plants. |
collenchyma |
|
|
Characteristics of collenchyma |
1.It isfound either as a homogeneous layer or in patches. 2.It consists of cells which are much thickened at thecorners due to a deposition of cellulose,hemicellulose and pectin. 3.These cells assimilate foodwhen they contain chloroplasts. Intercellular spacesare absent. 4.They provide mechanical support to thegrowing parts of the plant such as young stem andpetiole of a leaf. |
