•Each plant organ is composed of three basic types of tissue, what are they?
dermal, vascular, and ground
what is the general function of the dermal tissue?
outer protective skin. Protection from pathogens and physical damge
what is the general function of the vascular tissue?
called the stele, central vascular cylinder
what is the function of ground tisse?
cells specialized for storage, photosynthesis and support
what is the dermal tissue of nonwood plants?
epidermis
what is the dermal tissue of woody plants?
periderm
what is plant tissue that conducts the flow of watern and minerals into the plant they are dead when functionally mature?
what type of tissue is it?
xylem, vascular
what is the plant tisse that transports organic nutrients, it is alive and functional maturity? what type of tissue is it?
phloem, vascular
what is the waxy coat on the surface of leaves and stems that prevents water loss?
cuticle
what are the long tapered water conducting cell found in the xylem of nearly all vascular plants called?
tracheid cells
what are the cells that are only in the xylem of some vascular plants that are wider,shorter, and thinner walled?
vessel element cells
what ground tissue is internal to the vascular tissue in a stem?
pith
what ground tissue is external to the vascular tissue in a stem?
cortex
IN gymnosperms and most eudicots, vascular bundles are arrange how?
in a ring
in monocot stems how are the vascular bundles arranged?
scattered
the xylem faces ______ toward the _________
inward, pith
the phloem faces______ outward, toward the _________
outward, cortex
what is the pore surrounded by 2 guard cells on leaves and stems that allows for gas exhange and regulates water loss called?
stomata
what are the two cells that regulate the opening and closing of the stomata?
guard cells
where is the mesophyll located? what tissue?
ground
what mesophyll cells are in the upper part and are long cells? what tisue are they found in?
palisade, ground root tissue
what mesophyll cells are loosley packed and allow for air circulation?
spongy
in stem Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring. Xylem faces inward toward the pith. Phloem toward the cortex and outward. what type of plant?
gymnosperms and most eudicots
in the stem vascular bundles re scattered in what type of plants? xylem radiates from the center in spoke, phloem is arranged in between the spokes.
monocots
In root which plants have the vascular cylinder in the center?
gymnosperm, eudicots, and some monocots
in some monocot roots vascular tissue is organized how?
in alternating rings with ground tissue surrounding it. But it is located in the center.
what growth continues beyond embryonic and juvenile periods?
indeterminant
In some plant organs such as leaves do not stop growing, what is this called?
determinant growth
where does indeterminant growth occur?
meristems
what plants completes its entire life cycle in a single year?
annuals
what plants that requires 2 years to complete its life cycle?
biennials
what plants live many years?
perennials
what do plants die of? old age?
No they die of infection, drought, and trauma
how does indeterminant growth occur?
plsnt growth continues beyond embryonic and juvenile. Primary growth in the apical meristems (growth in length). Secondary growth in lateral meristems(adds girth)
which growth is produced by the apical meristem ands, lengthing stems and roots?
primary growth
what growth is produced by lateral meristems, thickening the roots and shoots of woody plants?
secondary growth
does secondary growth occur in monocots?
rarley
what is the dome shaped mass at the tip of the terminal bud and are the tips of roots?
apical meristem
what adds layers of secondary xylem and phloem? what type of growth does it occur in? It is also repsonsible for thickening of a root or shoot.
vascular cambium, secondary
what replaces the epidermis with periderm? what type of growth does it occur in?
cork cambium, secondary
what type of meristems does secondary growth have?
lateral
decribe the 3 zones in primary growth of roots.
cell division- apical meristem and root cap.
elongation- cells grow longer, pushing the root tip further into the ground.
Maturation- cells complete differentiation
describe growth with in a bud.
leaves arise from finger like projections at either side.illary buds form from meristem tissue left at the base of the leaf primordia (give rise to lateral shoots) Nodes and internodes are compacted withon the bud and elogation occurs within the internodes.
what is it when leaves arise from finger like projections at either side?
leaf primordia
where is thickness produced and by what?
occurs in older regions of gymnosperms and eudicots produced by lateral meristems
what produces a tough thick covering?
secondary cambium
do cells of cork cambium continue to divide?
no there is no increase in circumference unlike vascular cambium
what includes all tissues external to the vascualar cambium? and what are they
Bark, contains secondary phloam, cork cambium, older layers of periderm
how are rings in a tree trunk created?
in temperate climates, growth is interrupted during winter, when growth resumes, the boundary, between the new growth and the older growth appears as ring.
why cant cork cambium continue to divide?
the thickening of the stem or root splits the cork cambium, it looses its embryonic activity
what happens to the older phloem?
it sloughs off
what are older layers of secondary xylem that are closest to the center that no longer function called?
heartwood
What is the new xylem in the outer layer called? it transports more sap, supplying more leaves
sapwood
•in tranpiration Stomata lead to a maze of internal air spaces. Describe the concentration of water here compared to in the environment. why does water exit the stomata?
these air spaces are saturated with water becasue of contact with plant cell walls. the water exits the leaf because the air surrounding a plant is usually drier than the air spaces.
what is it called when yoou completley remove a ring of bark around the entire circumferemence of a tree?
girdling
•Loss of water vapor from leaves via evaporation and diffusion creates what type of force? How is this force maintained throughout a plant? (explain cohesion and adhesion)
Transpirattional pull. It draws water and mineral s out of the xylem (as molecules leave the air-water interface, the surface tension icnreases, creating neg. pressure). Pulls sap through the rest of the plant. Depends on adhesion of water to cellulose and cohesion of water molecules to each other.
What causes root pressure and when is it significant?
accumulation of mineral causes water to flow in. An upward push of xylem sap creates root pressure.significant at night
what is it called when in the morning, root pressure can exceed transpiration- water dropletrs appear on the leaf surface.
guttation
Describe the regulation of stomata, be specific
Co2 concentration: in the morning , photosynthesis depletes the amount of CO2 in the leaf which triggers the opening. The light stimulates guard cells to take upK+ and then water, become rigid.INternal clock: circadian rythyms open and close the pores every 12 hrs.
What factors effect the density of stomata
genetics, environment- light and Co2 concnetration during development
Why is stomata density studied?
atmospheric Co2 levels can be estimated based on the stomal leaf density of fossils and leaf remains.
what is the flow of nutrients though the pholem called?
translocation
does traslocation always go in the same direction? describe
Flow is varaible. sugars are allows carried from a sugar source to a sugar sink
What is the composition of phloem sap?
sucrose
Give and example of a sugar source and a sugar sink
net producer (leaves), a net concumer (growing roots, buds, stems, fruits)
the epidermis is what type of tissue?
dermal
