Biology Plant Anatomy

Front 1

Shoot

Back 1

Tissues located here generally involved in:
photosynthesis
reproduction
or support of 1st two

Front 2

Root

Back 2

tissues here absorb water and nutrients from the ground, store carbs, and hold the plant in place

Front 3

Vascular Tissue

Back 3

transports water, nutrients, and the products of photosynthesis and connects roots and shoots

Front 4

embryo
cotyledons
endosperm
seed coat

Back 4

contents of a seed (4 parts)

Front 5

monocot seed

Back 5

presence of one cotyledon in seed

Front 6

dicot seed

Back 6

pair of cotyledons

Front 7

Sepals
Petals
Stamens
Pistil

Back 7

Four parts of a flower

Front 8

Sepals

Back 8

outermost set of modified leaves green in typical flowers

Front 9

innermost ring of modified leaves; often conspicuously pigmented

Back 9

Petals

Front 10

Stamens

Back 10

male flower structures that produce pollen (male gamete)

Front 11

Pistil

Back 11

central, female organ of the flower, which includes the ovary at the base. Within the ovary is the ovule (female gamete)

Front 12

monocot flower

Back 12

flower parts in 3s or multiples of 3

Front 13

dicot flower

Back 13

flower parts in 4s or 5s

Front 14

fruit

Back 14

results from the growth and maturation of the ovary which will become the seeds

Front 15

ovary

Back 15

part of the pistil that contains the ovules

Front 16

roots

Back 16

underground structures that function mainly to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients

Front 17

zone of cell division

Back 17

cells in roots which continually divide to produce new cells for increased length. roughly square and tightly packed. at the tip of the root is a root cap, which protects the dividing cells as they push through the soil

Front 18

zone of cell elongation

Back 18

newly produced cells grow longer in this region near the other end of your root tip. these cells will be noticeably longer than wide

Front 19

Stem

Back 19

supports photosynthetic and reproductive structures of a plant

Front 20

Epidermis

Back 20

surrounds circumference of the stem cross-section; covers exterior of the plant to protect it and to help prevent water loss through evaporation

Front 21

Xylem

Back 21

vascular tissue that transports water up from the roots

Front 22

Pholem

Back 22

vascular tissue that carries carbs produced during photosynthesis either up or down through the plant

Front 23

monocot stems

Back 23

vascular bundles scattered throughout the cross-section and look like monkey faces

Front 24

dicot stems

Back 24

vascular bundles arranged in circular pattern near the outer portion of the cross-section

Front 25

Leaves

Back 25

site of photosynthesis which takes place in special cells located here

Front 26

monocot leaves

Back 26

leaf veins that are parallel

Front 27

dicot leaves

Back 27

leaf veins in a netted (branched) pattern

Front 28

Epidermis
Vascular Bundle
Parenchyma cells

Back 28

three tissues of leaves

Front 29

Epidermis (skin)

Back 29

cells on top and bottom of leaf, covers exterior to protect it and prevent water loss through evaporation

Front 30

monocot vascular bundle of leaf

Back 30

vascular bundles large, numerous, and similar in appearance to each other because veins are parallel

Front 31

dicot vascular bundle of leaf

Back 31

vascular bundles less numerous in cross-section and differ in appearance because of branched pattern of veins, some large, some small

Front 32

Parenchyma cells

Back 32

contain chloroplast, cells responsible for most of the photosynthesis in a plant

Front 33

stoma, guard cells

Back 33

opening in the surface of leaf, between two elongated epidermal cells (called what). where water leaves the plant through transpiration and gases move into and out of the leaf
