4 layers of primary tissue |
Epidermis, Cortex, Vascular tissue, Pith |
|
Epidermis |
Single outer layer of cells |
|
Cortex |
Band of tissue between epidermis, Vascular tissue |
|
Vascular tissue |
Tissue conducting water, nutrients |
|
Pith |
Inner layer of tissue, similar to cortex |
|
Traits of epidermis |
1. In the herbaceous stems 2. Transfers material between plants and environment 3. Prevents water loss 4. Outer walls have cutin |
|
What does cutin build up to form |
Cuticle |
|
Cuticle forms a barrier that is ... |
Water and air tight |
|
Photosynthesis uses ... And produces ... |
CO2, O2 |
|
What is stomata |
Pores in the epidermis that open and close |
|
How is stomata formed |
Pair of guard cells create a hole between them |
|
What happens when guard cells are full of water |
Swell |
|
Characteristics of trichomes |
1. Elongated epidermal cells "hairs" 2. Defense 3. Create layer of humid air around plant 4. Many die at maturity 5. Some are alive |
|
Characteristics of the cortex |
1. Layer between the epidermis and vascular tissue 2. contains photosynthetic parenchyma ( chlorychyma) and collenchyma 3. May have crystals, silica |
|
Vascular tissue characteristics |
1. Not found in all plants (small organisms can get by with diffusion) 2. Xylem-conducts water and minerals 3. Phloem- sugar and minerals 4. Occurs in bundles in primary growth 5. Not a true circulatory system |
|
Xylem characteristics |
1. Tracheids and vessel elements 2. As cell develops it stops dividing, becomes long and narrow, deposits secondary cell wall then cell dies. 3. Secondary cell wall is water tight, must have openings to allow water to pass from cell to cell |
|
What is a vessel |
Stack of vessel elements |
|
Vessel elements |
Perforations with no cell wall and water moves freely |
|
Annual thickening characteristics |
1. Weaker 2. High surface area of primary cell wall, more adaptive in wet environments |
|
Pitted cells characteristics |
1. More adaptive in dryer environments |
|
Tracheids obtain water . . . |
From those below and pass it to those above |
|
Pits are aligned ... |
Pit-pairs |
|
How are pit membranes formed |
Primary cell walls and middle lamella |
|
Sieve elements characteristics |
1. Conduct sugar through large plasmodesmata (sieve pores) 2. Groups called sieve areas |
|
Sieve cells characteristics |
1. Long, spindle-shaped, sieve areas cover surface 2. Albuminous cells |
|
Sieve tube members characteristics |
1. Small sieve areas, large pores in sieve plates 2. Companion cells |
|
Stems grow longer at their |
Apical meristem |
|
Apical meristem characteristics |
1. Cells divide by mitosis 2. Push meristem upward |
|
Subapical meristem characteristics |
1. Region below apical meristem 2. Cells also growing, dividing here 3. Cells stop dividing, start elongating, differentiate |
|
What differentiates first in primary growth |
Protoxylem |
|
Protophloem |
The exterior to Protoxylem |
|
Protoderm |
Gives rise to epidermis |
|
Angiosperms (flowering plants) characteristics |
1. produce flowers, fruits, seeds 2. Monocots- one cotyledon (seed leaf) 3. Dicots (eudicots)- two cotyledons |
|
Gymnosperms characteristics |
1. Non-flowering 2. Produce seeds, not fruit |
