Front 7

3 Types of meristemic tissue

Back 7

Apical, Lateral, Intercalary

Front 8

Contains merismetic tissue located at the tips of stems and roots, which enable a plant to extend in length.

Back 8

Apical Meristems

Front 9

Facilitate growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant

Back 9

Lateral Meristems

Front 10

Occur only in monocots, at the bases of leaf blades and at nodes; enables the monocot leaf blade to increase in length from the leaf base.

Back 10

Intercallary Meristems

Front 11

3 main types of meristems

Back 11

Dermal tissue, vascular tissue, ground tissue

Front 12

Covers and protects the plant

Back 12

Dermal tissue

Front 13

Transports water, minerals and sugars to different parts of the plant

Back 13

Vascular tissue

Front 14

Serves as a site for photosynthesis; provides a supporting matrix for the vascular tissue; and helps to store waters and sugars

Back 14

Ground Tissue

Front 15

2 Types of Secondary Tissues

Back 15

Simple and Complex

Front 16

Composed of similar cell types. E.g. Dermal tissue

Back 16

Simple

Front 17

Composed of different cell types. E.g. Vascular Tissue

Back 17

Complex

Front 18

Transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant.

Back 18

Xylem Tissue

Front 19

Xylem Tissue Cell Types

Back 19

Vessel Elements, Tracheids, and Xylem Parenchyma

Front 20

Used for conduction and support

Back 20

Tracheids

Front 21

Storage cells capable of division

Back 21

Xylem Parenchyma

Front 22

Transports organic compounds from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.

Back 22

Phloem Tissue

Front 23

Phloem Tissue Cell Types

Back 23

Sieve Cells, Companion Cells, Phloem Parenchyma, and Phloem Fibers

Front 24

In stems, the xylem and the phloem form a structure called a _______________.

Back 24

Vascular Bundle

Front 25

In roots, the xylem and the phloem form a structure called a _______________.

Back 25

Vascular Stele

Front 26

2 Organ Systems

Back 26

Shoot System and Root System

Front 27

It grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

Back 27

Shoot System

Front 28

2 Parts of a Shoot System

Back 28

Vegetative Part and Reproductive Part

Front 29

Non-reproductive parts of the plants such as the leaves and the stems

Back 29

Vegetative Part

Front 30

Include flowers and fruits

Back 30

Reproductive Part

Front 31

It supports the plants and absorbs water and minerals; is usually underground

Back 31

Root System

Front 32

part of the shoot system; main function is to provide support to the plant, holding leaves, flowers and buds; in some cases, store food for the plant; transports absorbed water and minerals to different parts of the plant; transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars) from the leaves to the rest of the plant

Back 32

Stem

Front 33

5 Parts of the Stem

Back 33

Nodes, Internodes, Petiole, Axil, Apex

Front 34

points of attachment for leaves, aerialroots, and flowers.�

Back 34

nodes

Front 35

the region between two nodes.

Back 35

Internodes

Front 36

the stalk that extends from the stem to the base of the leaf.

Back 36

Petiole

Front 37

the area between the base of a leaf and the stem where it can give rise to a branch or a flower.

Back 37

Axil

Front 38

contains the apical meristem within the apical bud.

Back 38

Apex (tip)

Front 39

Functions of Roots

Back 39

1. Anchoring the plant to the soil

2. Absorbing water and minerals and transporting them upwards

3. Storing the products of photosynthesis

4. Some roots are modified to absorb moisture and exchange gases

Front 40

2 Types of Roots

Back 40

Tap Root System (Dicots) and Fibrous Root System (Monocot)

Front 41

main root grows down vertically, and from which many smaller lateral roots arise; it penetrates deep into the soil. E.g. Dandelions

Back 41

Tap Root System

Front 42

located closer to the soil surface, and forms a dense network of roots that also helps prevent soil erosion. E.g. lawn grasses, wheat, rice and corn

Back 42

Fibrous Root System

Front 43

main sites for photosynthesis: the process by which plants synthesize food.

Back 43

Leaves

Front 44

Leaves are mostly green, due to the presence of ___________l in the leaf cells

Back 44

Chlorophyl
