Causes longitudinal growth in both shoots and roots by dividing and differentiating into different plant tissues.
What is apical meristem.
100
A cell that requires active transport of K+ ions and water into it in order to open stoma. At night and in severe heat, K+ ions move out and these cells close stomata openings.
What is a guard cell.
100
Causes longitudinal growth in both shoots and roots by dividing and differentiating into different plant tissues.
What is the apical meristem.
100
Absorbs and transports water and dissolved nutrients to stems and leaves, anchors the plant, and can store the products of photosynthesis
What is a root
200
Water and dissolved minerals are carried from the roots to the rest of a plant by the...
What is xylem
200
What are the three cell types of ground tissues?
What are Parenchyma, Sclerenchyma and Collenchyma
200
Other terms for longitudinal growth (growth in length) versus growth in girth (diameter).
What is primary growth versus secondary growth.
200
root structure of monocots designed for rapid absorption of water and prevention of soil erosion; opposed to the root structure of dicots that can resist dehydration by burrowing deep into soil.
What are fibrous roots versus tap roots.
300
The area where a stem and a leaf meet
What is NODE
300
What is the most common plant tissue
What is Parenchyma
300
An undifferentiated layer of cells in the stems of gymnosperms and angiosperms that forms new xylem inside the stem and new phloem to the outside of the stem.
What is vascular cambium
300
The absorption of water and dissolved nutrients from the epidermis to the root endodermis through the porous space in the cell walls of adjacent plant cells.
What is apoplastic movement.
400
Name for plants that make flowers that means "seed container."
What is angiosperm
400
Apical Meristems create derivatives to aid in primary growth. Which derivative is responsible for forming cortex cells of a plant?
What is Ground Meristem
400
Parenchyma cells in leaves that function to perform photosynthesis.
What is mesophyll cells.
400
Extensions of root epidermal cells that function to increase the available surface area for water and nutrient absorption.
What is root hairs.
500
What are the 2 meristematic types in plants?
What are Apical Meristems, Lateral Meristems
500
Located between the phloem and endodermis of a root, this stem tissue can grow lateral roots.
What is the pericycle.
500
A type of plant cell that has a thick, lignified cell walls and is dead at maturity. It primarily functions in support and transport.
What is a sclerenchyma cell.
500
A thick waxy layer surrounding the root endodermis that regulates the passage of water and dissolved substances into the xylem tissue of the root.
