|
Parenchyma |
Lack secondary walls, perform photosynthesis. Elongate over time. Plant 'stem cells.' Cuticle retains water. |
|
|
Collenchyma. |
Muscle of the plant. |
|
|
Sclerenchyma |
Dead bones of the plant. Cannot elongate. Protective coatings/fibrous material. |
|
|
Xlyem |
Vascular Tissue. Coveys water from roots to shoots. Root pressure. Water moves through pits in tracheids. Root pressure causes guttation. (Dew) |
|
|
Transpiration |
Main source of water transport through xylem. Pulled upwards from water loss through leaves. |
|
|
Water |
Adheres to xylem walls, cohesive with other water molecules allowing for the push and pull to exist. |
|
|
Phloem |
Transports the organic sugars/absorbed minerals to nonphotosynthetic parts of the plant through sieve tubes. Assisted by companion cells which act as brains. Porous. |
|
|
Protoderm |
Give rise to roots. |
|
|
Procambrium |
Produces stele. Produces vascular tissue. |
|
|
Ground meristem |
Between protoderm and procambrium. Parenchyma that store food. |
|
|
Endodermis |
Last checkpoint of passage of minerals from cortex to vascular tissue. |
|
|
Casparian strip |
Excretes suberin , waxy and impervious to water and dissolved minerals. |
|
|
Symplast |
Selectively permeable, regulates what gets I to vascular tissue. |
|
|
Apoplastic |
Water and few nutrients. Travel without regulation. |
|
|
Chytridiomycota |
Ancestral groups for fungi. Chytrids retain flagella at some point in life |
|
|
Haustoria |
Part of mutualistic fungi. Penetrates plant cell walls. |
|
|
Hyphae |
Filaments which make up mycelium which compose fungi main body (thallus) |
|
|
Aseptate cells |
No cross walls. Multinucleated cells. |
|
|
Septate cells |
Contain one of two haploid nuclei in each cell. Porous walls (septa) |
|
|
Sexual cycle of Fungi. |
Zygotic or Asexual. Plamogamy fuses hyphae and cytoplasm of two mating strains. Karyogamy fuses nuclei. Meiosis occurs forming meiospores. |
|
|
Zygomycete |
Aseptate. Produce sexually and asexually. Bread mold. |
|
|
Asomycota |
Septate. Anthrtidia like flowers. Asocarp (cup). Sexual and Asexual. Yeasts (bread yeast) |
|
|
Basidimycota |
Toadstools |
|
|
Deuteromycota |
Imperfect fungi. Molds. Sexual phase unknown. |
