CS Chapter 22 Study
STUDY GUIDE
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Name the 3 main types of plant cells. | Parenchyma cell, Collenchyma cell, and Schlerenchyma cells. |
| 2. Parenchyma cell functions and an example of where these cells are found. | Functions include storage, photosynthesis, gas exchange, protection, and tissue repair and replacement they are found in potatos |
| 3. Collenchyma cell functions and an example of where these cells are found. | Funtions include support for surrounding tissues, provides flexibility for plant, and tissue repair and replacement. They are found in celery |
| 4. Schlerenchyma cell functions and an example of where these cells are found. | Functions include support and transport of materials. Found in pears. |
| 5. Name the 4 main types of plant tissues. | Meristematic tissue, dermal tissue, vascular tissues, and ground tissue. |
| 6. Describe meristemic tissues. | region of rapidly dividing cells 3 types apical the roots and stems increase in length intercalary stem and leaf also increases in length lateral root and stem increases the diameter. |
| 7. Describe dermal tissues. | The layer of cells that makes up the outer covering on a plant is the epidermis. create a fatty substance that forms the cuticle if dermal tissue is injured it can lose water and get viruses and fungal infections. |
| 8. Describe vascular tissues. | Xylem transports substances away from the roots, composed of specialized cells called vessel elements and tracheids. Phloem transports dissolved sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant sieve tube member. |
| 9. Describe ground tissues. | Consist of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells functions include photosynthesis, storage, and support. Most of a plant is composed of ground tissue well over half. |
| 10. Describe root functions. | Roots take in water and dissolved minerals that are transported to the rest of the plant. |
| 11. List the layers of the root from the outside inward. | epidermis, root cap, cortex, casparian strip, endodermis, pericycle, vascular tissue |
| 12. Describe the functions of stems. | The main function of a plant's stem is support of a plants leaves and reproductive structures Transport water and dissolved substances Stores food and water |
| 14. Describe the functions of leaves. | The main function of leaves is photosynthesis, also guard cells border a stoma where there can be gas exchange. Water travels from the roots up through the stems and into the leaves. Replacing the water used in photosynthesis. |
| 15. Name the 4 plant hormones. | Auxin, Gibberellins, Ethylene, and Cytokinin |
| 16. Describe auxins and how they affect a plant. | Stimulates the lengthening of cells Affects the rate of growth in roots stems, and leaves. Causes fruits to drop from the plant when it is ready. |
| 17. Describe gibberellins and how they affect a plant. | Causes cell elongation, stimulates cell division, and affects seed growth. Applying gibberellins to a plant can cause an increase in height. |
| 18. Describe ethylene and how they affect a plant. | Affects the ripening of fruits Fruits are softer and sweeter than unripe fruits. The only known gaseous hormone Found in plant tissues such as ripening fruits, dying leaves, and flowers |
| 19. Describe cytokinins and how they affect a plant. | Promote cell division by stimulating the production of the proteins needed for mitosis and cytokinesis. Produced in rapidly dividing cells. |
| 20. Describe a nastic response and give 2 examples. | A response of a plant that causes movement independent of the direction of the stimulus examples- Solar tracking Closing of a Venus flytrap's leaves. No growth in the plant maybe some movement but goes back to normal and is reversible. |
| 21. Describe tropic response. | A tropism is a plants growth response to an external stimulus. |
| 22. Name and describe three tropisms. | Phototropism is a growth response to light caused by an unequal disribution of auxin. Gravitropism are when roots grow with gravity- positive, stems grows away from gravity- negative. Thigmotropism are responses to a touch or a mechanical stimulus. |
| 23. In stems, how are vascular tissues arranged for monocots and dicots? | They contain vascular bundles, either in a circle near the edge of the stem as in dicots, or scattered throughout the stem as in monocots. |
| 24. In roots, how are vascular tissues arranged for monocots and dicots? | in dicots, the vascular tissue is in th shape of a star, while in monocots, it forms a ring around a central pith. Surrounding the stele in both types of roots is a cortex composed of parenchyma cells. |
| Phototropism | Growth response to light- caused by an unequal distribution of auxin |
| Gravitropism | Roots grow with gravity- positive, stems grows away from gravity- negative, growth response due to gravity |
| Thigmotropism | response to a touch or a mechanical stimulus, if you have a vine and it comes next to a fence post it will wrap around it, it is a growth response due to mechanical stimuli. |
