Tissue Types
The type of vascular tissue that flows in both directions and whose cells are alive at maturity
What is phloem?
The type of root system that reaches water deep in the ground
What is a taproot system?
The type of stem where the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring
What is a dicot stem?
The parts of the stamen
What are the anthers and the filaments?
The waking up of a dormant seed and its resumption of growth
What is germination?
The type of tissue in plant that is constantly growing and undergoing mitosis
What is meristem?
What is a root hair?
The tissue that makes up the majority of the wood in a tree trunk
What is xylem?
The cell inside a pollen grain that produces 2 sperm
What is the generative cell?
The first part of the plant to emerge during seed germination
What is the young root?
The type of ground tissue primarily performing photosynthesis and storing its products
What is parenchyma?
The part of the root that is constantly secreting chemicals to help the root push through the soil easily
What is a root cap?
The loss of water through the stomata that will pull water up the xylem
What is transpiration?
The part of the flower that covers and protects the bud before the flower blooms
What are the sepals?
A plant's responding to a stimulus of touch
What is thigmotropism?
The type of lateral meristem that makes new xylem
What is the vascular cambium?
The layer of cells that surrounds and protects the vascular cylinder
What is the endodermis?
The stalk-like part of the leaf that connects it to the stem
What is the petiole?
The part of the plant that becomes the seed's food supply
What is the endosperm?
The hormone that encourages root growth and the extension of side/lateral branches on the plant
What are cytokinins?
The type of structural ground tissue that is woody and dead at maturity
What is sclerenchyma?
The area of the root in which the cells turn into specialized tissues and where root hairs form
What is the zone of maturation?
The tightly, grouped region of oblong cells in the top of the leaf that performs most of the photosynthesis
What is the palisade mesophyll?
The 3 nuclei in the ovule that are fertilized by sperm from the pollen grain
What are an egg and 2 polar nuclei?
The ground tissue in the center of a dicot stem
What is the pith?
