Animals have what kind of growth ? (determinate or indeterminate)
determinate- they stop growing at maturity
Plants have what kind of growth? (determinate or indeterminate)
indeterminate- never stop growing throughout lifetime
Regions where cells continue active division
meristems
Meristems consist of undifferentiated growth called...?
initials and their immediate derivatives
What two parts does the initial break off into?
initial and derivative
The derivative that comes from the initial provides what function?
goes on to differentiate
the initial that comes from the initial provides what function?
it remains in the meristem
What is the process by which genetically identical cells mature into different cell types?
differentiation
This type of growth occurs in all plants, and it increases the length of roots and shoots; occurs as a result of cell divisions in apical meristems at tips of roots and stems
primary growth
This type of growth occurs in woody plants only; it increases the width of roots and shoots; occurs as a result of cell division in lateral meristems; provides structural support
secondary growth
these type of meristems can be found at the base of the root
basal meristems
In this zone, there is differentiation of cells; root hairs arise, and it is the site of water and nutrient uptake
zone of cellular maturation
in this zone, one can find vascular tissue, ground tissue, and epidermal tissue; this zone increases root length
zone of cellular elongation
in this zone, one can find root apical meristem and the root cap
zone of cellular division
For primary growth in shoots, where is the apical meristem?
at the tip of the shoot
Woody shoots have terminal buds that open to reveal what?
young leaves
Woody shoots occur where there is elongation of what?
internodes
These are left on trees by petiols and leaf veins
leaf scars
This type of growth increases the width (diameter) of roots and shoots in woody plants
secondary growth
This type os growth occurs as a result of cell divisions in the lateral meristems of vascular cambium and cork cambium and it provides structural support
Secondary growth
What adds cells to the inside (xylem) and the outside (phloem) of the meristem?
vascular cambium
what only adds cells to the outside?
cork cambium
from inside to outside, list the two types of cambium and vascular tissue.
secondary xylem, vascular cambium, secondary phloem, cork cambium
Is production of secondary tissue symmetrical or asymmetrical?
asymmetrical
Is wood secondary xylem, primary xylem, secondary phloem, or primary phloem?
secondary xylem
All the tissue outside the vascular cambium is called what?
bark
what are the two types of bark?
inner bark and outer bark
This type of bark is all tissues between vascular cambium and cork cambium (phloem); it is the living part of the bark
inner bark
This type of bark is everything outside the cork cambium (cork); all tissues are dead at maturity
outer bark
what does bark replace that was formed during primary growth?
epidermis
these are responsible for gas exchange
lenticel
the result of periodic activity of vascular cambium in seasonal habitats
growth rings in trees
trees with continuous cambial activity lack what?
ex. trees in tropical rainforests
growth rings
the width of growth rings vary due to...(6 factors )
species, light, temperature, rainfall, available soil water, length of growing season
this is the inner secondary xylem, older, non-conductiong wood in center, may be infiltrated by oils, gums, resins, and tannins, is used for storage of inhibitory or toxic metabolites
heartwood
this is the outer secondary xylem that is younger, conducting wood that surrounds the heartwood, transports water
sapwood
organic compounds that are not necessary for normal plant metabolism; most are chemically similar to molecules necessary for basic cell activities; arose as mutations in genes coding for normal enzymes
secondary metabolites
These compounds are toxic to herbivores, toxic to plants, and usually sequestered in specialized reservoirs
ex. trichomes, cell vacuoles, resin ducts
plant defensive compounds
these are all examples of which type of plant defensive compound?
ex. opium, morphine, codeine, cocaine, nicotine, heroin
alkaloids
