Secondary growth
100

Two groups of species that share a common ancestor

What is a sister group

100

The word for the upper layer of a leaf

What is adaxial

100

The state (living or dead) of collenchyma cells at maturity

What is alive

100

The category of meristem from which primary growth occurs

What is apical meristem / axillary meristem

100

The main result of secondary growth

What is increase in thickness / girth

200

A cellular process in which substances are brought into cell by engulfing them with cell membrane

What is endocytosis

200

Of the two layers of mesophyll, this layer functions more in light capture with lots of chloroplasts

What is the palisade mesophyll

200

Phloem is made of this cell type

What is parenchyma

200

The two main results of growth from apical meristems

What are increase in length and production of new organs

200

The three layers of the periderm

What are cork cambium, cork, and phelloderm

300

A symbiotic relationship in which one organism lives inside another organism

What is endosymbiosis

300

The layer of cells immediately inside the endodermis, responsible for the production of root branches and for secondary growth in roots

What is the pericycle

300

This type of cell has functions in photosynthesis, turgidity, and storage

What is parenchyma

300
The three primary meristems

What are protoderm, procambium, and ground meristem

300

This type of branching occurs within surface tissues, as opposed to inner tissues

What is exogenous branching

400

An example of a synapomorphy in eukaryotes, not found in prokaryotes (3 possibilities)

What are the nucleus, the endomembrane system, and the mitochondria

400

The product that acts as a lubricant, loosener of soil integrity, and antimicrobial protectant as the root extends into so

What is mucigel

400

This tracheary element has perforations

What are vessel elements

400

The cortex, pith, mesophyll, and endodermis come from this primary meristem

What is ground meristem

400

The tissues that the cork cambium produces inwards and outwards

What are phelloderm (inwards) and cork (outwards)

500

Three lines of evidence supporting the evolution of mitochondria from an endosymbiotic bacterium

What are:

1. mitochondria divide like bacteria do, via binary fission

2. mitochondria DNA is much more similar to bacteria DNA than other DNA

3. there are two membranes around mitochondria because it maintained both membranes (1 from bacteria, 1 from the host during endocytosis) from the endocytosis event

500

This type of cell acts as a hinge to control how much surface area of the leaf is exposed to the sun to limit water loss. Based on turgidity of the cell's large vacuoles

What is bulliform cell

500
Four examples of sclerenchyma cells

What are fibers, sclereids, tracheids, and vessel elements

500

The three main processes that result in growth of multicellular organisms

What are cell division, cell growth, and cell differentiation

500

The tissues of the stem that the vascular cambium develops from

What are residual procambium (situated between the xylem and phloem in each vascular bundle) and pith rays (situated between each vascular bundle)
