Vascular Plants |
Plants that contain xylem and phloem which are vascular tissues. |
Seed bearing plants, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Pteridophytes, ferns, lycophytes, and horsetails.
|
|
|
Lignin |
Strengthens and makes plants rigidity, is a hard organic compound. |
Supports cellulose fibers in the cell walls.
Gives power. |
|
|
Xylem |
A non living tube shaped tissue. |
Found in vascular system plants.
Carries the water from the roots to the rest of the plant. |
|
|
Phloem |
Transports sugar and organic nutrients to the plant. |
Found in the vascular system plants.
Elongated tubes. |
|
|
Tracheids |
Conducts water and supports the xylem. |
Made of long, thin cells that have tapered ends and hardened walls.
Maintains a structure. |
|
|
Vessel elements |
When combined with other cells forms a tube that transports water and minerals. |
Is a short wide cell.
Needs to form with other cells to function. |
|
|
Cohesion |
When molecules of the same substance bind together. |
Just like water molecules they stick together.
Mold together. |
|
|
Adhesion |
When two substances that are different are attracted. |
Opposites attract.
Peanut butter and jelly. |
|
|
Sieve tubes |
Phloem cells in a column. |
-found in plants
- many of the same cells together. |
|
|
Endosperm |
Provides nourishment to developing embryo in seeds of flowering plants. |
Made from the Union of sperm cell and a large cell with 2 nuclei |
|
|
Cotyledons |
A single or double seed leaf of a flowering plant embryo. |
First leaves of a seedling
A angiosperm |
|
|
Apical Meristems |
Allows the shoot/root to increase in strength. |
Produces auxin
Gives stability |
|
|
Seed coat |
The outer covering of a seed that is tough and protective. |
When it's cold we put on coats
Warm, shell like. |
|
|
Germination |
When seed begins to sprout. |
Beginning to grow.
Opening a present. |
|
|
Primary growth |
The growth in vascular plants. |
Equivalent to growth spurts in humans.
Changes the plant. |
|
|
Node |
The part of the stem of a plant that connects other leaves, forms a bump. |
Connector
Part of the branch |
|
|
Root cap |
It is found at the rip of the root, is a tissue. |
Baseball caps are worn on out heads ^
"Cap it off" |
|
|
Epidermis |
The tissue that is the outer layer of a plant. |
Our skin is a epidermis
Made out of cells |
|
|
Cuticle |
Is the outmost layer of a living tissue. Prevents water loss and infection of parasites. |
Kind of like a bandage.
Not dead like the cuticle on our finger nails. |
|
|
Vascular tissue |
Apart of the vascular system. Water and nutrients are conducted through the tissue. |
Transports
Provides important factors |
|
|
Ground tissue |
A tissue made up of 3 cells, parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Forms pith/cortex of leaf. |
Takes up space
A base/support for the plant |
|
|
Secondary growth |
The process that which causes the stems and roots to thicken |
Elongation occurs
Causes a change |
|
|
Vascular cambium |
Is found between the xylem and phloem. |
Found in vascular growth
Is the middle of a "sandwhich" |
