AP Bio Chapter 35

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Word
Definition
monocots   single cotyledon, parallel veins, arranged vascular bundles, fibrous root system, petals come in multiples of 3  
🗑
dicots   two cotyledons, netlike veins, star like vascular bundle, taproot present, petals in multiples of 4 or 5  
🗑
root system   subterranean system to draw resources like water and nutrients to the plant  
🗑
shoot system   the aerial portion of a plant body consisting of stems, leaves, and flowers  
🗑
xylem   conveys water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots thru the shoot  
🗑
phloem   transports food made in mature leaves to the roots and to part of the shoots  
🗑
taproot system   found in many dicots, consisting of one large vertical root that produces many smaller lateral roots  
🗑
fibrous roots   found in monocots, consisting of a mat of threadlike roots that spread out below the soil surface, gives the plant extensive exposure to soil water and minerals and anchors it tenaciously to the ground  
🗑
root hairs   increase the surface area of the root  
🗑
adventitious   describes any plant part that grows in an unusual location  
🗑
stems   an alternating system of nodes and internodes  
🗑
nodes   the points at which leaves are attached  
🗑
internodes   the stem segments between the nodes  
🗑
axillary bud   has the potential to form a branch shoot, dormant  
🗑
terminal bud   developing leaves and a compact series of nodes and internodes  
🗑
apical dominance   when the terminal bud inhibits the growth of of axillary buds  
🗑
leaves   the photosynthetic organs of most plants  
🗑
blade   flat part of plant which helps form leaves  
🗑
petiole   a stalk which joins the leaf to a node of the stem  
🗑
protoplast   the contents of the cell exclusive of the cell wall  
🗑
parenchyma cells   mature ones have primary walls that are relatively thin and flexible, relatively unspecialized  
🗑
sclerenchyma cells   specialized for support, secondary walls maybe dead at maturity  
🗑
water-conducting cells   made up of tracheids and vessel elements arranged from end to end forming vessels,have secondary walls&dead at maturity. In gymnosperms, tracheids function for water&structural support.In angiosperms,both vessel elements&tracheids conduct water,notsupport  
🗑
food-conducting cells   sieve-tube members,arranged end to end with porous walls between them, companion cell always found  
🗑
collenchyma cells   helps to support the young part of the plant, provide support without restraining growth  
🗑
fibers   type of sclerenchyma, long, slender, tapered, occur in bundles  
🗑
sclereids   type of sclerenchyma, shorter than fibers and irregular in shape  
🗑
pits   thinner regions where only primary walls are present  
🗑
sieve-tube members   chains of cells which transport organic compounds and mineral ions thru the the phloem  
🗑
sieve plates   in angiosperms, the end walls of the sieve tubes, have pores that presumably facilitate the flow of fluid from cell to cell  
🗑
companion cells   alongside each sieve-tube member, connected to the sieve-tube by numerous plasmodesmata  
🗑
dermal tissue system or epidermis   single layer of tightly packed cells that covers and protects all younger parts of the plant  
🗑
cuticle   helps bring aerial parts of the plant retain water, an important adaptation to living on land  
🗑
annuals   complete their life cycle in a single year or less  
🗑
perennials   live many years  
🗑
meristems   perpetually embryonic tissues which makes the plant always capable for growth  
🗑
apical meristems   located at the tips of roots and in the buds of shoots, supply cells for the plant to grow in length  
🗑
primary growth   this elongation, enable roots to ramify throughout the soil and shoots to increase their exposure to light and carbon dioxide  
🗑
secondary growth   a progressive thickening of the roots and shoots former earlier by primary growth  
🗑
lateral meristems   cylinders of dividing cells extending along the length of roots and shoots, replace the epidermis with secondary dermal tissue like bark  
🗑
primary plant body   consists of the three tissue system: dermal vascular, and ground tissues  
🗑
root cap   physically protects the delicate meristem as the root elongates through the abrasive soil  
🗑
zone of cell division   includes the apical meristem and its derivatives, called primary meristems  
🗑
quiescent center   a population of cells that divide much more slowly that the other meristemic cells, relatively resistant to chemicals and damage  
🗑
protoderm   the outermost primary meristem which gives rise to the roots and shoots  
🗑
procambium   a primary meristem of roots and shoots that form vascular tissue  
🗑
ground meristem   a primary meristem that gives rise to ground tissue in plants  
🗑
zone of elongation   the cells elongate ten times their original size  
🗑
zone of maturation   cells of the root begin to specialize in structure and function, three tissue systems produced by primary growth complete their differentiation  
🗑
stele   which is the vascular bundle where both xylem and phloem develop  
🗑
pith   the central core of parenchyma cells, which is ringed by vascular tissue with an alternating pattern of xylem and phloem  
🗑
cortex   the region of the root between the stele epidermis  
🗑
endodermis   innermost layer of the cortex, a cylinder one cell thick that forms the boundary between the cortex and the stele  
🗑
lateral roots   arise from the outermost layer of the stele  
🗑
pericycle   a layer of cells that may become meristemic and begin dividing again  
🗑
vascular bundles   vascular tissue which runs the length of a stem  
🗑
stomata   tiny pores flanked by guard cells on leaves  
🗑
guard cells   special cells that surround the stomata  
🗑
transpiration   water loss by plant evaporation  
🗑
mesophyll   the area where the ground tissue of a leaf is sandwiched  
🗑
phase changes   gradual transition in vegetative growth from the juvenile to mature state  
🗑

🗑
vascular cambium growth   produces a secondary xylem and phloem  
🗑
cork cambium   produces a tough, thick covering for stems and roots that replaces the epidermis  
🗑
ray initials   are cambium cells that produce radical files or parachyma cells known as xylem rays and phloem rays

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
