BioII Vocab

Vocab, look up, turn in.

QuestionAnswer
parenchyma cells Flexible thin walled cells.
collenchyma cell elongated and occur in long strands or cylinders providing support for surrounding cells.
sclerenchyma cell plant cells that slack cytoplasm and other living components when they mature.
meristem regions of rapidly growing divisions
vascular cambium thin cylinder of meristematic tissue that can run the entire length of the roots and stem.
cork cambium produces cells that develop tough cell walls.
epidermis layer of cells that make up the outer covering on a plant.
guard cell two cells that form the stomata.
xylem water carrying vascular tissue
vessel element tubular cells stacked end to end forming stands of xylem called vessels.
tracheid long, cylindrical cells with pitted ends.
phloem main food carrying vascular tissue.
sieve tube member contains cytoplasm but lacks a nucleus and ribosomes when it matures.
companion cell located by sieve tube members, containing a nucleus.
ground tissue consist of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells and have diverse functions.
root caps layer of parenchyma cells that covers the root tip and helps protect root tissues during growth
cortex layer composed of ground tissues between the epidermis and vascular tissue of a root
endodermis cell layer at the inner boundary of the cortex; regulates the material that enters the plant's vascular tissues
pericycle plant tissue that produces lateral roots
petiole stalk that connects a plant's blade to the stem
palisade mesophyll leaf-tissue layer that contains many chloroplasts and is the site where most photosynthesis takes place
spongy mesophyll loosely packed, irregularly shaped cells with spaces around them located below the palisade mesophyll
transpiration process in which water evaporates from the inside of leaves to the outside through stomata
auxin plant hormone that moves in only one direction away from the site where it was produced and can stimulate the elongation of cells
gibberellins group of plant hormones that are transported in vascular tissue and that can affect seed growth, stimulate cell divison and cause cell elongation
ethylene gaseous plant hormone that affects the ripening of fruits
cytokinin plant hormone that promotes cell division by stimulating production of proteins required for mitosis and cytokinesis
nastic response reversible, responsive movement of a plant that occurs independent of the direction of the stimulus
trposim response to an external stimulus in a specific direction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
