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
|
