Cells
These are unique cell features that are only found in plant cells. (Name 1 of 5)
What are the cell wall, central vacuole, storage vesicles, plastids, and plasmodesmata?
Name 1 of the 4 basic tissue types found in plants.
What are meristematic tissue, epidermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue.
Name one of the four types of organs that can be found in plants.
What are root, stem, leaf, and flower?
This type of root would have a single, long root with smaller branches off the central root.
What is a taproot?
This layer of the stem is immediately under the epidermis.
What is the cortex?
This is what the cell wall of plant cells are made of.
What is cellulose?
This type of plant tissue performs the same basic function as human skin.
What is the epidermal tissue?
This is the primary food-producing organ of a plant.
What are leaves?
This is a highly-branched system with many roots and many branches.
What is a fibrous root system?
This is the area that produces the xylem and phloem.
What is the vascular cambrium?
As the central vacuole fills with water, it creates this as it pushes the other contents against the cell wall.
What is Turgor pressure?
This type of meristematic tissue is located at teh tip of the root or the tip of the stem and it is responsible for the growth of roots, stems, and branches to make them longer.
What is the apical meristem?
This is where each leaf attaches to the stem of a plant.
What is the petiole?
On the surface layer of a root (epithelium), there may contain specialized extensions called this.
What are root hairs?
This is the part of the stem that is the living part.
What is the outer region?
This is the type of plastid where photosynthesis takes place.
What are chloroplasts?
This is what the xylem does for the plant.
What is moves water and minerals upward from teh roots to the leaves?
If the flower is female, it will have this oblong structure in the very center of it's flower.
What is the pistol?
This is at the end of each root which acts like a hard hat, protecting the root as it grows.
What is the root cap?
Woody plants (like trees) have another layer outside the epidermis called this.
What is bark?
You have two plants of the same species. One is wilted, the other is not. In which plant are the cell's central vacuoles smaller?
The wilted one's are smaller.
This is what the phloem does for the plant.
What is move nutrients (like sugars) from a location in the plant that has a high concentration of nutrients to a location that has a low concentration?
Name the three parts of the pistol.
What are the stigma, style, and ovary?
If a tree's roots are above ground, are they definitely aerial roots?
Not necessarily.
This is a modified stem which are used for protection of the plant. These make it more difficult for animals to eat the plants.
What are thorns?
