| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| three types of nonmeristematic tissues | parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma |
| form most of the ground tissues, such as mesophyll of leaves or cortex/pith of stems/roots. | parenchyma cells |
| type of parenchyma that facilitate transport | Phloem |
| outer tissue made up of parenchyma | epidermis |
| metabolicly active tissue that also functions in storage | parenchyma |
| least specialized cell type | parenchyma |
| Flexible support cells, cylinder or rod shaped | collenchyma |
| have unevenly thick cell walls | collenchyma |
| two cells types that are alive when functional (nonmeristematic) | parenchyma and collenchyma |
| supporting elements with thick secondary walls made of cullulose and lignin | sclerenchyma cells |
| dead when functional (nonmeristematic) | sclerenchyma |
| much more rigid cell type that can't expand with the growing plants. | sclerenchyma |
| make up vessel elements and tracheids in xylem | sclerenchyma |
| broad classification of cells that can divide mitotically | meristems |
| found on the tips of young shoots and roots, starting cell type | apical meristem |
| three different types of meristems | protoderm, procambium, ground meristem |
| produces the outer epidermis to stems and roots | protoderm |
| procambium | vascular tissues in stems and roots |
| ground meristem | produces ground tissues of stems and roots |
| responsible for primary growth of plant (height, length) | meristematic tissue |
| responsible for secondary growth of plant (width, girth) | lateral meristems |
| two types of lateral meristems | vascular cambium and cork cambium |
| thick layers of tissue that increase girth and grow hard over time, becoming wood. | vascular cambium |
| thick covering for large stems and roots, replaces epidermis. | cork cambium |
| creates cork cells and secondary cortex cells | cork cambium |
| in stems, _____ is made up of cork and cork cambium. | periderm |
| periderm and secondary phloem make up this | bark |
| three types of nonmeristematic tissues | dermal tissue, vascular, ground |
| vascular cambium between xylem and phloem | fascicular cambium |
| transports food to non photosynthetic parts of the plant | Phloem |
| cells that make up phloem tubes and allowed for unimpeded movement from one cell to the next | seive-tube members. |
| help maintain cell metabolism for seive-tube members. | companion cells |
| process in which sugars and water are moved via active transport into sieve members | translocation |
| moves water through the plant from the roots to the shoots | xylem |
| process by which water is moved upwards by evaporation of water on the leaves | transpiration |
| long thin cells with tapered ends, hardened with lignen | tracheids |
| edge of a leaf is called | lamina |
