Is phloem a simple or complex tissue?
complex
is xylem a simple or complex tissue?
complex
what primary meristem produces primary xylem?
procambium
what primary meristem produces primary phloem?
procambium
what secondary meristem produces secondary xylem and phloem?
vascular cambium
what is the difference between primary and secondary tissues?
primary tissues are arranged axially, secondary tissues are arranged axially and radially
what is the radial system of xylem and phloem composed of in angiosperms? in gymnosperms?
parenchyma; parenchyma and tracheids
what makes up 'wood'?
secondary xylem tissues
what makes up bark?
secondary phloem and periderm
what are the types of primary xylem?
protoxylem and metaxylem
what are protoxylem and metaxylem?
tracheary elements
when does protoxylem mature?
first, during axial elongation
when does metaxylem mature?
second, after axial elongation has ceased
how are protoxylem and metaxylem different?
protoxylem is smaller in diameter, secondary wall thickenings are rings or helical, metaxylem has scleriform or pitted/reticulate deposition of secondary cell walls
what is endarch maturation?
a form of xylem maturation in which the xylem matures from the inside to the outside, protoxylem is near pit, metaxylem is near epidermis
what is exarch maturation?
a form of xylem maturation in which the xylem matures from the outside in, the protoxylem is closes to the epidermis, the metaxylem is closes to the center
what is bicollateral phloem?
located on both sides of the xylem
what are protoxylem lacunae?
protoxylem that have been stretched and torn and created large air spaces, stretched by internodal growth
what are the xylem cell types?
tracheary elements (tracheids, vessel members, fibers, sclerids, xylem parenchyma cells
what are the two cells types that comprise tracheary elements?
tracheids, vessel members
what characterizes tracheary elements?
lignified secondary cell walls, autolysis, dead at maturity, continuous pipe-like structure
what is the function of tracheary elements?
primarily water conduction, also support because they are heavily lignified
who has vessel members?
angiosperms
who had tracheids?
angiosperms, gymnosperms
what characterizes tracheids?
do not have open end walls, have pitting, water travels laterally through pits, more elongated and smaller in diameter than vessel members
what characterizes vessel members?
open-end walls (perforation plate), wider cells, less elongated, water passes through open-end walls
what are the different types of perforation plates?
simple, sclariform, reticulate

* simple perforation plate is considered an advanced character
what are the types of fibers?
libriform fibers, fiber tracheids
who has libriform fibers?
angiosperms
who has fiber tracheids?
angiosperms, gymnosperms
what are the functions of fibers?
primarily support
what characterizes fibers?
lignified secondary cell walls, often dead at maturity, often septate
what is the difference between libriform fibers and fiber tracheids?
libriform fibers are more elongated and have less pitting, and are often thicker
what characterizes sclerids?
thick secondary cell walls, often dead at maturity, not elongate necessarily (like fibers)
what are the rays in secondary xylem?
parenchyma cells that are position perpendicular to the long axis of the organ that function in radial transport
is phloem a complex or simple tissue?
complex
what are the different cell types in phloem?
sieve tube members, companion cells, sclerenchyma, parenchyma cells
how do you differentiate between sieve tube members and companion cells?
sieve tube members are much larger
what is the function of sieve tube members?
transport of photosynthates
what makes sieve tube members unique?
protoplastic modifications (nucleus degenerates, golgi and ribosomes disappear, vacuole and tonoplast break down, ER decreases in abundance and mostly present in smooth form)
