roots and stems
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| periderm | contains cork cambium and cork; 2 or more cells thick |
| epidermis | covers stem and roots |
| root hairs | in all roots |
| phloem | carries minerals up to leaves; transports products of photosynthesis to roots |
| phloem rays | made of parenchyma; fills in phloem |
| pericycle | protect the xylem and phloem; strengthen the roots |
| endodermis | regulates the amount of water transport through the plant |
| cortex | tissue between epidermis and vascular tissues |
| parenchyma | generalized/storage; blue thin cell walls |
| xylem | transport water up through plant |
| collenchyma | structure/support |
| apical meristem | responsible for primary growth; mitotic division |
| sclerenchyma | structure/support; red thick walls |
| stele | (vascular cylinder) contains xylem, phloem, and pith (in monocot) |
| vascular cambium | secondary growth occurs and pushes phloem out while packing xylem on inside |
| cork cambium | pushes cork out and cortex (parenchyma) inside |
| pith | contains all parenchym.. usually inner-most structure |
| bark | contains cork, cork cambium, cortex, and phloem |
| air spaces | in dicot leaves and monocot stems |
| ground tissue | in monocot stems |
| 4 fundamental tissues | parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, and endodermis |
| apical meristem | grow in length, primary growth |
| lateral meristem | grow in girth; secondary growth |
| 2 tissues that make up surfaces | epidermis and periderm |
| epidermis | one cell layer thick |
| tissues | aggregations of cells modified to perform a specific group function |
| waxy cuticle | prevent water from escaping |
| guard cells | let air (CO2) into the photosynthetic cells |
| spongy mesophyll (parenchyma) | contains spaces to allow for passages of gases |
| palisade mesophyll (parenchyma) | contains chloroplasts; closely packed, elongated parenchyma |
| stomata | opening between the guard cells |
| chlorenchyma | spongy and palisade parenchyma |
| midrib | large vein in leaves (extension of petiole in dicots |
