Enumerate the 8 external structures of the stem. |
Node Internode Petiole Buds Leaf scar Bundle scar Lenticels Stipules |
|
It is also known as the leaf stalk which attaches the leaf to the stem |
Petiole |
|
These occur in the angle between the petiole and stem and it is an underdeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem |
Buds |
|
Three classifications of buds? |
Based on location or position on the stem Based on the presence of protective covering Based on the structure which developed from the bud |
|
The scar left by a fallen leaf |
Leaf scar |
|
The scar that marks the location of the water conducting tissues located within the leaf scars |
Bundle scar |
|
Dark spots or elevations that allow gas exchange in the stem |
Lenticels |
|
Paired leaf-like appendages at the base of the petiole |
Stipules |
|
Buds based on location/position on the stem? |
Terminal bud Axillary bud Accessory bud Adventitious bud |
|
They are also known as apical bud |
Terminal bud |
|
This bud is present at the tip of each twig. |
Terminal bud |
|
It is also known as lateral bud |
Axillary bud |
|
It’s the bud located in the axil |
Axillary bud |
|
The angle between a branch or a leaf |
Axil |
|
Secondary buds formed aside from the principal bud |
Accessory bud |
|
Two types of accessory buds |
Collateral bud Superposed bud |
|
These buds are lateral or sideward or beside axillary buds |
Collateral buds |
|
These buds are located above the axillary bud |
Superposed bud |
|
Type of bud that can occur elsewhere |
Adventitious bud |
|
Buds based on the presence of protective coverings? |
Scaly or covered Hairy Naked |
|
Scales cover and protect embryonic parts |
Scaly or covered |
|
Protected by hairs |
Hairy |
|
When not covered by scales or hairs. |
Naked |
|
Witch hazel |
Hamamelis virginiana |
|
Lemon |
Citrus limon |
|
Rose |
Rosa rubiginosa |
|
Pomelo |
Citrus grandis |
|
Calamansi |
Citrus microcarpa |
|
Buds based on the structures which develop from the buds? |
Spines and thorns Cladophylls Phyllocades |
|
Buds that are modified into hard, straight, pointed structures |
Spines and thorns |
|
These buds are leaf-like stems (each of them is a node) and they bear small scale like leaves with axillary buds |
Cladophylls |
|
Asparagus |
Asparagus officinalis |
|
These buds are generally found in plants whose leaves are very small. They modify into spines. They fall off early, then they take over the functions of the leaves, particularly, photosynthesis. |
Phyllocades |
|
Where are phyllocades commonly found? |
Deserts |
|
It is associated with young developing cells during differentiation. These tissues are not yet matured |
Primary meristematic tissues |
|
Three types of primary meristematic tissues |
Protoderm Ground meristem Provascular tissues |
|
They produce epidermal cells that are still young and meristematic |
Protoderm |
|
It can produce the equivalent stages of the pith and cortex |
Ground meristem |
|
They produce young cells of xylem and phloem |
Provascular tissues |
|
The outermost surface of herbaceous stem and a layer of parenchyma cells |
Epidermis |
|
A waxy substance that provides defense against pathogens like fungi or bacteria |
Cutin |
|
The epidermis consists of the two _____? |
Guard cells Epidermal hair |
|
They have a stomatal pore which opens during daytime to permit the entrance of CO2 |
Guard cells |
|
It is also known as epidermal hair |
Trichomes |
|
It makes it difficult for animals to land on, walk on, or chew on the leaves of the plant |
Epidermal hair |
|
The two regions derived from the ground meristem |
Cortex & Pith |
|
What is the cortex composed of? |
Photosynthetic parenchyma and sometimes collenchyma |
|
The innermost tissue region of the stem |
Vascular tissues |
|
Vascular tissue that conducts water and minerals |
Xylem |
|
Vascular tissue that distributes sugars and minerals |
Phloem |
|
Enumerate the Xylem conducting cells |
Tracheids Vessel elements |
|
It refers to either tracheids or vessel elements |
Tracheary element |
|
It is the water transporting unit of plants |
Xylem conducting cells |
|
Enumerate Phloem’s conducting cells |
Sieve cells Sieve tube member |
|
It refers to either sieve cell or sieve tube member |
Sieve element |
|
They are cells that help the Phloem distribute sugars and minerals |
Phloem conducting cells |
