What are the two main groups of angiosperms? |
Monocots and Dicots |
|
Cotyledons |
Seed (embryo) leaves |
|
Moncots |
One cotyledon Main veins usually parallel Vascular bundles in complex arrangements Floral parts usually in multiples of 3 Fibrous root system |
|
Dicots |
Two cotyledon Main veins usually branched Vascular bundles arranged in ring Floral parts usually in multiples of 4/5 Taproot usually present |
|
A typical plant body consists of _____and ______ |
roots ; shoots |
|
Where do plants draw their resources from? |
Roots and shoots |
|
Root System |
Anchors plants in soil Absorbs/transports minerals/H2O Stores food |
|
Roots hairs _____ absorptive surface |
Increase |
|
Shoot System |
Obtains CO2 & light from air Stem(nodes/internodes) support leaves/flowers |
|
Leaves are ______ organs; flowers are _______ organs (terminal/axillary buds) |
Photosynthetic; reproductive |
|
Apical dominance |
Is an evolutionary adaptation the increase the plant's exposure to light |
|
Many plants have modified ______, _______, and _______ |
Roots , stems, and leaves |
|
Function of modified roots |
Store sugar |
|
Function of modified stems |
Stolons enables a plant to reproduce asexually Rhizomes store food and can form new plants Tubers are structures specialize for storage |
|
Function of modified leaves |
Store food or water Fn in protection of plant Aid in climbing (tendrils) |
|
The three tissue systems that make up the plant body |
Dermal, vascular, and ground |
|
Dermal tissue system |
Forms outer protective covering of the plant; epidermis and cuticle |
|
Vascular tissue system |
Contains xylem and phone Provides long-distance transport/support |
|
Ground tissue system |
Most of the bulk of the petals Pith Cortex |
|
Pith is _____ to vascular tissue; cortex is ______ to vascular tissue |
Internal; external |
|
Arrangement of tissue systems in root |
Vascular cylinder is in center Ground tissue system consists entirely of cortex |
|
Vascular cylinder structure |
Xylem radiates out Phloem fills in space |
|
Arrangement of tissue in stem |
Vascular tissue in vascular bundles -Dicot, arranged in a ring -Monocot, scattered throughout ground tissue Ground tissue -Dicot, has both cortex and pith region -Monocot, not divided into regions |
|
Arrangement of tissue in leaf |
Epidermis interrupted by stomata flanked by guard cells Mesophyll ground tissue sandwiched between lower and upper epidermis Vascular system made up of network veins |
|
Plant cells 3 unique structures/functions |
Chloroplasts, the sites of photosynthesis Central vacuole, containing fluid Cell wall, surrounds the plasma membrane |
|
What are the five major types of cells? |
Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, fibers, sclereids |
|
Parrenchyma |
Perform most of the plants metabolic functions |
|
Collenchyma |
Provides support |
|
Sclerenchyma |
Form a rigid skeleton that supports the plant the main component of wood |
|
Fibers |
Long cells arranged in bundles |
|
Sclereids |
Shorter, have very hard secondary walls |
|
Xylem in vascular tissue |
Conveys water and minerals |
|
Pholem in vascular tissue |
Transport sugars |
|
Water conducting cells in angiosperms |
Tracheids and vessel elements Hollow tubes of dead cell walls |
|
Food conducting cells |
Sieve-tube members separated by sieve plates |
|
What are flowering plants categorized by? |
Basis of length of life cycle |
|
Annuals |
Complete life cycle in a single year or less |
|
Biennials |
Complete life cycle in 2 years |
|
Perennials |
Live and reproduce for many years |
|
Primary growth _______ a plant to grow in length; primary growth ______ behind the root tip in 3 zones |
Enables; occurs |
|
Apical meristems |
Are unspecialized cells that continue to give rise to new cells |
|
Location of apical meristems |
Tips of rod and terminal/axillary buds of shoots |
|
Structures of apical meristem |
Covered by protective root cap that is sloughed off during growth |
|
What are the 3 zones where primary growth occurs? |
Zone of cell division, zone of elongation, zone of maturation |
|
Secondary growth ______ the girth of woody plants |
Increases |
|
Secondary growth is produced by _______ |
Lateral meristems |
|
Lateral meristems |
Two cylinders of dividing cells, vascular cambium and Cork cambium |
