Term
The three tissue systems of vascular plants
Definition
Dermal, vascular and ground tissue systems.
Term
Three primary meristems
Definition
Protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium.
Term
What is the region of cell division of the root tip ?
Definition
The Apical meristem.
Term
What are the primary meristems ?
Definition
Protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium
Term
In a hypogeous germination the _______will emerge above the ground first.
Definition
Epicotyl.
Term
What is the embryonic shoot called ? (the first bud)
Definition
Plumule
Term
The stemlike axis below the cotyledons is known as __________.
Definition
Hypocotyl.
Term
What is the pericarp ?
Definition
Mature ovary wall.
Term
Where are the apical meristems found ?
Definition
At the tips of all roots and stems.
Term
What is the primary tissue of the Protoderm ?
Definition
Epidermis (dermal tissue system)
Term
What is the primary tissue of the of ground meristem ?
Definition
Ground Tissues (Parenchyma,collenchyma,sclerenchyma)
Term
What is the primary tissue of the procambium ?
Definition
Primary xylem and phloem (vascular tissue system)
Term
The procambium is the precursor for _____
Definition
xylem and phloem .
Term
What is the radicle ?
Definition
Embryonic Root.
Term
Colerhiza and coleptile are ____
Definition
Sheathlike protective structures.
Term
Parenchyma cells-
Do they live at maturity ?
Do they have secondary cell wall?
What role do they play ?
Definition
Yes they are alive,no secondary cell wall, they regenerate and aid in wound healing.
Term
What does the mesophyl contain ?
Definition
Palisade and spongy parenchyma
Term
What are trichomes ?
Definition
Leaf Hairs
Term
Collenchyma Tissue-
Alive at maturity ?
Secondary cell wall ?
Function ?
Definition
Alive at maturity, no secondary wall, support growing organs. usually beneath epidermis
Term
Sclerenchyma
Alive at maturity ?
Secondary cell wall ?
FUnction ?
Definition
Usually dead at maturity, secondary wall (thick/hard), supports structure for parts not elongating.
Term
What are the two types of sclerenchyma tissues ?
Definition
-Fibers and sclerids.
Term
Fibers
Definition
-Sclerenchyma tissue
-long, slender cells , occur in strands
Term
Sclerids
Definition
-Sclerenchyma tissue
-often branched, short cells.
-make up seed coats, shells, (endocarp) of fruits.
Term
Xylem
Definition
Conducts water from root.
Term
Phloem
Definition
Conduct sugar , amino acids, lipids, hormones.
Term
Sieve tube elements are located ____
Definition
in the phloem.
Term
Trasfer Cells
Definition
Are parenchyma cells, increase surface area in the membrane. facilitate movement of solutes over short distances.
Term
How do sclerids differ from fiber ?
Definition
sclerid are very long, often are dead, associated with xylem and phloem. they support and store.

fibers- variable shapes, may be living or dead located througout the plant . Mechanical, protective.
Term
developmental and functional relationship between seive tube element and companion cells
Definition
Derived from the same mother cell. Numerous plasmodematal connections, companion cells play a role in delivery of substances to seive tubes.
