Two types of seeded plants
Gymnosperms and angiosperms
Conifers
Gymnosperms
Flowering plants
Angiosperms
Two groups of angiosperms
Monocots and dicots
Pattern of veins in leaves in dicots
Netted (a branching pattern)
Pattern of veins in leaves in monocots
Parallel
Flower parts in dicots
In 4s, 5s, or multiples thereof
Flower parts in monocots
Scattered
Form of root in dicots
Taproot (single large root)
Form of root in monocots
Fibrous system (cluster of many roots)
Major groups of plant tissue (3)
Ground, Dermal, Vascular
Three kinds of ground tissue
Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
Most common ground tissue, thin walls and do storage, photosyn, and secretion
Parenchyma
Thick but flexible walls, serve mechanical support functions
Collenchyma
Thicker walls than collenchyma, also provide mechanical support functions
Sclerenchyma
Consists of epidermis cells that cover the outside of plant parts
Dermal tissue
Dermal tissue guard cells that surround this
Stomata
The epidermal cells secret this waxy protective substance
Cuticle
Major kinds of tissues in Vascular tissue
Xylem + Phloem
Two types of xylem cells
Tracheids and Vessel members
Functions in the conduction of sugars
Phloem
Make up phloem
Sieve-tube members
Top portion of the embryo, becomes shoot tip
Epicotyl
Seeds consist of these 3 things
Embryo, seed coat, storage material (like endosperm or cotyledons)
Young leaves attached to epicotl
Plumule
Becomes the young shoot
Hypocotyl
Develops into the root
Radicle
Sheath that protects the epicotyl
Coleoptile
Begins germination
Imbibition of water
Where are apical meristems?
Tips of roots and shoots
Protects the apical meristem behind it
Root tip (root cap)
The dividing cells of the apical meristem for the zone of _____ _____
Cell division
Newly formed cells absorb water and elongate, forming the next region, the zone of _____
Elongation
This zone is responsible for our perception of growth
Zone of elongation
Meristematic growth is known as _____ growth
Primary
What growth do conifers and woody dicots undergo
Secondary growth
The two lateral meristems where secondary growth occurs
Vascular cambium and the cork cambium
The cork cambium gives rise to the _____
Periderm
Protective material that lines the outside of woody plants
Periderm
Lines the outer surface of the root
Epidermis
In the zone of maturation, epidermal cells produce _____ _____
Root hairs
Makes up the bulk of the root
Cortex
Ring of tightly packed cells at the innermost portion of the cortex
Endodermis
This band of fatty material impregnates the endodermal cell walls where they make contact with adjacent endodermal cell walls
Suberin
Creates a water impenetrable barrier between the cells
Casparian strip
Makes up the tissues inside the endodermis
Vascular cylinder (Stele)
Outer part of the vascular cylinder consists of one to several layers of cells called this
Pericycle
Central tissue area in monocot roots
Pith
What is xylem tissue at maturity?
Dead
New xylem is called
Sapwood
Older xylem is called
Heartwood
The cuticle reduces _____ or loss of water through evaporation
Transpiration
Consists of parenchyma cells equipped with numerous chloroplasts and large surface areas, specializations for photosynthesis
Palisade mesophyll
Consists of parenchyma cells loosely arranged below the palisade mesophyll; provide CO2 to photosynthesizing cells
Spongy mesophyll
Specialized epidermal cells that control the opening and closing of stomata
Guard cells
Two pathways by which water moves toward the center of the root
Apoplast and symplast
Water moves through cell walls from one cell to another without entering the cells
Apoplast pathway
Water moves from the cytoplasm of one cell to the cytoplasm of the next through the plasmodesmata
Symplast pathway
Movement of carbohydrates through phloem from a source
Translocation
Promotes plant growth by facilitating the elongation of developing cells
Auxin
Group of hormones that stimulate cytokinesis
Cytokinins
Gas that promotes the ripening of fruit
Ethylene
Growth inhibitor; maintains dormancy in seeds
Abscisic acid (ABA)
Growth pattern in response to an environmental stimulus
Tropism
Response to light, is achieved by the action of the hormone auxin
Phototropism
