Regions of the Root
What is the root cap?
This region of the root is found at the tip and protects other parts of the root.
What is xylem?
This tissue transports water from roots to leaves.
What is open circulation? provide examples
In this type of circulation, blood is pumped into a cavity instead of enclosed vessels.
example: insects
What is the epidermis?
This is the outermost layer of the leaf that protects it from water loss.
What is the zone of cell division?
In this region, meristematic cells divide to help the root grow.
What is hearwood?
At the center of the stem, wood is dead and darker in color
Circulatory system is....
The system that circulates blood and lymph through the body.
What is the chloroplast?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place in the leaf.
What is the zone of maturation?
This region is recognized by root hairs that absorb water and minerals.
What is spring wood?
Light-colored rings produced during rainy seasons in a tree's cross-section are called this.
Closed CS. Provide examples
Blood is kept physically contained within vessels.
Examples: earthworms, birds, humans
What are stomata?
These tiny pores on the leaf surface allow gas exchange.
What is the cortex?
This layer between the epidermis and vascular cylinder stores food and provides support.
what is cambium?
This layer actively divides and produces new cells for plant growth in diameter.
Pulmonary system?
The passage of blood from the heart to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and it's returned to the heart by veins
What is the spongy mesophyll?
The spongy tissue layer in the leaf that facilitates gas exchange.
What is the vascular cylinder?
This central part of the root contains vascular tissue like xylem and phloem.
Two types of cambium
vascular and cork.
Systemic circulation
The circulation of blood through the arteries, capillaries, and veins, of the general system
What are guard cells?
These cells control the opening and closing of the stomata.
