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)
|
