Which structure is used for a large surface area for photosynthesis in plants?

What are leaflets?

100

Meristems are made up of

Stem cells

100

Cells that create the stomata 

Guard cells 

100

The 3 cell types found in ground tissue

Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma 
100

Roots that penetrate host plants

Parasitic roots

200

The structure that is above ground in the plant

What is the shoot?

200

The structure that protects the root from damage as it pushes down

The root cap

200

Tubular extensions that form before the formation oflateral roots. Has a single cell structure with no vascular system. Increases the surface of absorption

What are root hairs? 

200

The cell type that is used for storage, photosynthesis, and secretion. Have chloroplasts and are the most common of the ground tissue

Parenchyma

200

Roots that keep the plant upright

Prop roots

300


The structure indicated by question marks

What is the stipule?

300

Meristems have the ability to become a variety of different cell types. This ability is known as being ________________________

Pluripotent

300

When the stomata is open, this is happening to the guard cells

Inflation, half moon shape

300

The cells that are used for support and protection and allow for bending without breaking in the plant

Collenchyma

300

The purpose of pneumatophores

Facilitation of oxygen uptake

400

These structures are extensions of a leaf. They are typically found on flimsier plants such as sweet peas and tomatoes. They are used to attach to and curl around other things for support.

What are tendrils?
400

The three types of meristems

Apical meristem, lateral meristem, intercalary meristem

400

A structure like an umbrella to protect from UV radiation and reduce evaporation.

Trichomes

400
The cells that allow support and protection and the production of a secondary cell wall containing lignin (which makes the plant woodier and harder)

Schlerenchyma

400

Roots that pull the plant further into the soil 

Contractile roots

500

The point at which part of the plant diverges from the stem 

What is the petiole?

500

The 3 types of meristems allow growth in what directions

Apical: up and down

Lateral: to the sides, becoming thicker

Intercalary: becoming thicker and bushier 

500

The structure in which some secrete smelly or bitter substances to deter herbivores from eating them

Trichomes

500

Which cells of the ground tissue are still living? Which are dead? (There are 3 cell types)

Parenchyma and collenchyma are still living, sclerenchyma are dead
500

Roots that obtain water from the air

Aerial roots
