gametophyte
|
embedded in flower of tree
haploid gametes |
|
plants have to be..
|
eukaryotic
multicellular photosynthetic |
|
embryo
|
sporophyte with root, shoot, and some leaves
|
|
sporophyte
|
diploid multicellular phase that produces spores
|
|
ovule
|
portion of flower for reproduction, can see red part which contains first cell that started dividing, growing within body of sporophyte
|
|
endosperm
|
serves to store energy in embryo for later seed coat made from maternal tissue and protects
|
|
cotyledon
|
energy storage, absorbs from endosperm
|
|
epicotyl
|
above cotyledon
|
|
hypocotyl
|
below cotyledon
|
|
dermal tissue
|
covering for plant body
|
|
ground tissue
|
basic cells of organs
|
|
vascular tissue
|
forms in ground, specialized for water and metabolite transport
|
|
parenchyma
|
vary in size, simple cell wall, stereotypical cell
|
|
sclerenchyma
|
tough, hard cells, produce cell wall on outside, fibers to give support, not rubbery
|
|
collenchyma
|
glue like, spongy, part of stem
|
|
lignin
|
waxy substance
|
|
epidermal cells
|
thin cell wall on inner wall, thick waxy layer on outer cell wall
|
|
guard cell
|
chloroplast containing cells that occur in pairs around stomata pore, allows gas exchange and stomata to open and close
|
|
phellogen
|
epidermal like tissue in trees
|
|
phloem
|
transport minerals, waste, glucose, energy
multidirectional transport system, forms pressure on outside through osmosis, pressure pushes things through it, osmosis requires membrane |
|
xylem
|
cells have lignin, secondary cell walls, transport water and minerals, forms when dead
|
|
tracheid
|
cells that pull up water
|
|
vessel element
|
pipes that make one long tube
|
|
sieve tube
|
strainor
|
|
apoplastic
|
cell wall
|
|
symplastic
|
root hair and epidermal
|
|
root type: tap
|
one main root, no nodes, anchorage, storage area for food
|
|
root type: fibrous
|
finely branched, large surface area for food, more efficient absorption of water and minerals, roots hold soil to prevent erosion
|
|
spines
|
modified leaves, axillary buds
|
|
prickles
|
epidermal extensions, looks like rose thorns
|
|
thorns
|
modified stem, can produce stems off these
|
|
stoma
|
openings in epidermis to allow gas exchange
|
|
inflorescence
|
indeterminate or not
can vary in structure species to species depending on plants repro strategy |
|
bracts
|
leaves produces on inflorescnce not in flower
|
|
sepal
|
modified leaves
|
|
actinmorphic
|
radial
|
|
zygomorphic
|
bilateral
|
|
epidermal cell
|
thin primary wall, outer wall often thicker (waxy)
|
|
epidermal cell function
|
protective covering over surface of plant body, reduce water loss
|
|
guard cell function
|
open and close stomatal pores
|
|
trichone
|
hair, may be uni or multicellular, occurs on variety of sizes and shapes
|
|
trichome function
|
absorption, secretion, excretory, protection, reduction of water loss
|
|
cork cell
|
dead at maturity, cell walls have waterproof material
|
|
cork cell function
|
reduce water loss, prevents disease causing organisms from penetrating
|
|
primary growth
|
increase in stem and root length
|
|
secondary growth
|
increase in the girth of a plant
|
|
meristems
|
composed of cells that form new cells by mitotic divison
|
|
buds
|
dormant embryonic shoots that eventually develop into branches
|
|
primorida
|
developing stage
