Plant anatomy
These plant structures are found on the ends of roots and stems, and produce new cells for primary growth.
What is Apical Meristems
Turgid guard cells will result in ——————- stomata
What is Open
The waxy covering that prevents a plant from losing moisture.
What is the cuticle?
The first growth of a plant from a seed.
What is germination?
The outer layer of a vascular plant, cork in woody plants, epidermis in herbaceous plants.
What is dermal tissue?
Dissolved sugars are conducted throughout the plant prim by
What is Phloem?
Through what process must water travel From the soil into the root?
What is Diffusion
The pore in the waxy covering of a plant that opens and closes to allow water to escape.
What is the stoma?
A plant that grows for three or more years.
What is a perennial?
The tissue that stores carbohydrates in the stem and chloroplasts in the leaves.
What is ground tissue?
In which classification of plants are vascular bundles arranged in a ring outside of the pith of the stem?
What is a Dicot
Rapid diffusion of water across membranes can be accomplished by these channel proteins.
What is Aquaporins
The first roots used by plants.
What is fungi?
A hormone that causes a plant to bend toward the light.
What is auxin?
The ground tissue is called the cortex and there are small hairs that increase the surface area.
What is a root?
The zone of growth in roots is where most cells of primary tissue mature. It is also where root hairs are produced.
What is Zone of differentiation
The process by which substances are are actively secreted into the sieve tubes is called
What is Phloem loading
The cells that open and close the pores of a plant.
What are the guard cells?
A plant that needs a long night in order to grow.
What is a short day plant?
The structure that supports the plant. Green and flexible in herbaceous plants, filled with bundles of xylem and phloem.
What is the stem?
In stems, this replaces the epidermis that is destroyed during the secondary growth. It includes cork, cork cambium, and phelloderm.
What is Periderm
The source of energy that pulls water from the roots to the top of the tree is
What is Transpiration
An example of the first land plants.
What is moss?
This prevents growth during warm spells in the winter.
What is dormancy?
Each are attached to the stem by a stalk called a petiole. These contain the chloroplasts in the cell.
What is a leaf.
