Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Parenchyma cell   spherical, thin-walled cell found throughout most plants that can function in photosynthesis, gas exchange, protection, storage, and tissue repair and replacement.  
🗑
Collenchyma cell   Often elongated plant cell that provides flexibility for the plant, support for surrounding tissues, and functions, in tissue repair and replacement.  
🗑
Sclerenchyma cell   Plant cell that lacks cytoplasm and other living components when mature, leaving thick, rigid cell walls that provide support and function in transport of materials.  
🗑
Meristem   Region of rapid division in plant; produces cells that can develop into many different types of plant cells.  
🗑
Vascular Cambium   Thin cylinder of meristematic tissue that produce new transport cells.  
🗑
Cork Cambium   Meristematic tissue that produces cells with tough cell walls that form the protective outside layer on stems and roots.  
🗑
Epidermas   Dermal tissue that makes up a plant's outer covering in humans and some other animals, the outer superficial layer of skin made up of epithelial cells.  
🗑
Guard Cell   One of a pair of cells that function in the opening and closing of a plant's stomata by changes in their shape.  
🗑
Xylem   Vascular plant tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals away from the roots throughout the plant and is composed of vessel elements and tracheids.  
🗑
Vessel Element   Elongated tubular plant cell that forms xylem strands (vessel sand conducts water and dissolved substances.)  
🗑
Tracheid   Long, cylindrical plant cell in which water passes from cell to cell though pitted ends.  
🗑
Phloem   Vascular plant tissue composed of sieve tube members and companion cells that conducts dissolved sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves and stems to the roots and from the roots to the leaves and stems.  
🗑
Sieve Tube Member   non nucleated, cytoplasmic cell of the phloem.  
🗑
Companion Cell   Nucleated cell that helps the mature sieve tube member function in transporting dissolved substances in the phloem of vascular plants.  
🗑
Ground Tissue   Plant tissue consisting of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.  
🗑
Root Cap   Layer of parenchyma cells that cover 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   Dermal tissue that makes up a plant's outer covering in humans and some other animals, the outer superficial layer of skin made up of epithelial cells.  
🗑
Pericycle    
🗑
Petiole    
🗑
Palisade Mesophyll    
🗑
Spongy Mesophyll    
🗑
Transpiration    
🗑
Auxin    
🗑
Gibberellins    
🗑
Ethylene    
🗑
Cytokinin    
🗑
Nastic Response    
🗑
Tropism    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
