? direction does tracheids carry water? upwards
T/F Vessel elements carry water upwards and sideways. true
List 4 cell types in phloem. sieve tube elements,companion cells,parenchyma cells,fibers
List 2 complex tissue in dermal tissue system. epidermis, periderm
The epidermis consists mostly of ____ cells. parenchyma
Epidermis contain guard cells known as ____ trichomes
Where is epidermis located? the surface of leaves, stems, and roots, and forms a protective outer covering
Epidermal cells secrete a waxy layer called a ____? cuticle
_____ replaces epidermis in woody plants Periderm
List 3 things periderm is mostly composed of. cork cambium, cork cells, parenchyma cells
_____ is the waxy material that waterproof periderm cells. suberin
T/F Cork cells are alive at functional maturity. False, they are dead
_____ are specific areas of the plant body that contain groups of cells meristems
2 categories of meristems apical, lateral
Where are apical meristems located? tips of roots and the buds of stems
T/F Growth of apical meristem results in elongation and increases the diameter of false, does not increase the diameter
_____ apical meristems are located at the tips of stems shoot
_____ apical meristems are located at the tips of roots root
_____ meristems produce the secondary growth of the plant body. lateral
Where are lateral meristems located? along the entire length of roots and stems, except for the tips (apices) of these structures
Most of the cells produced by the vascular cambium differentiate (mature) into ____ wood
T/F Cork cambium is located outside the vascular cambium. true
____ _____ forms the outer bark (periderm) cork cambium
Name the 4 types of vertebrate tissues. epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
? forms the outside layer of an organ epithelial tissue
? tissue has one surface typically free and the other attached to the underlying tissue by a basement membrane epithelial tissue
? tissues fit together tightly to form a continuous layer, or sheet of cells epithelial tissue
Name 4 functions of epithelial tissues. protection, absorbtion, secretion, sensation
? location of eopithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines body cavities
give examples of where epithelial tissue is found. outer layer of skin, linings of digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive tracts
If epithelial tissue is one cell layer thick, it is said to be ________. "simple" epithelium
If epithelial tissue is >1 cell layer, it is _________. "stratified" epithelium
? 3 types of cells found in epithelial tissue depending on the shape. Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
? shape are squamous cells flat
? shape are cuboidal cells cube-shaped

T/F: All connective tissues are composed of sparsely distributed cells embedded in a substance in which hey secrete. true
? does the intercellular substance of a CT contain? tiny fibers made of protein, a thin polysaccharide gel (the matrix)
? three major types of CT's. cartilage, bone, blood
Where is cartilage found? ub cavities in the intercellular substance
Cartilage cells are also called ______ chrondrocytes
The cavities that cartilage and bone tissue are found is called _____. lacunae

T/F: Cartilage does NOT play a role in the embryonic skeleton of vertebrates. false
Do some adult vertebrates have cartilaginous skeletons? Yes.
Give example of a vertebrate with a cartilaginous skeleton. sharks, rays
Bone cells are also known as _____. osteocytes
Where are bone cells located? lacunae
Bone cells deposit various ______ which form the matrix. calcium salts
