The root system is --- ground | Below |
Shoot System is -- ground | above |
Organs in Root & Shoot Systems (4) | Roots, stems, leaves, flowers |
Structural Tissue Has 3 Tissues: | Epidermal, Cork, Parenchyma |
Epidermal tissue does: | Protect and cover, has cuticle layer |
Cuticle | Protective layer to prevent water leakage |
Cork Tissue does: | is the outer bark, protects and waterproofs (only in woody plants) |
Parenchyma Tissue does: | make and store food |
Vascular Tissue is composed of: | Xylem and Phloem |
Xylem tissue does: | Transport water & dissolved minerals upward |
Phloem tissue does: | transport food manufactured in leaves downward |
Meristematic tissue is for -- & is composed of (2) tissues-- | 1 Growth & repair, found in growth regions (2) Vascular cambium and cork cambium |
Vascular Cambium does: | produce new vascular tissue |
Cork Cambium does: | produce new cork tissue |
Four Main Elements of Cell | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen & Nitrogen |
Four Important Compounds of Cell: | Carbohydrates, lipids (fats & oils), proteins & nucleic acids |
Cell Parts (6): | Cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole |
Cell membrane does: | Surround cell, separates it from the environment, regulates what enters and leaves |
Nucleus doeS: | control cell's activities |
Cytoplasm is: | the fluid medium for organelles |
Cell Wall is made of (1) and (2) | (1) cellulose -- strength to plant and (2) lignin-- stiffness to woody plant |
Chloroplasts are: | Chlorophyll factories |
Chlorophyll is: | Green pignment which helps capture energy of sun to make food |
Vacuole is: | Storage cells |
Petiole is: | Leafstalk of leaf |
Leaf without petiole is: | Sessile leaf |
Stipule is: | Leaf-like structures that covered leaf when developing |
Compound | Developing structures |
Bud-scale scars are: | Markings where bud previously existed |
Simple Leaves are: | One blade per petiole |
Compound Leaf is: | more than one blade per petiole |
Four Leaf Arrangements: | Opposite, Alternate, Whorled, Rosette |
Opposite Leaf Arrangement is: | 2 leaves from each node, at right angles to leaves above and below them |
Alternate Leaf Arrangement is: | One leaf from each node |
Whorled Leaf Arrangement is: | Three or more leaves from each node |
Rosette Leaf Arrangement is (basal: | Cluster of leaves at base of plant |
Epidermis (Leaf Structure) Contains (3): | Cuticle, stomata, guard cells |
Stomata contains: | Epidermis contains stomata, which are leaf pores on lower surface which allow air circulation and transpiration |
Transpiration | Loss of water vapor |
Guard Cells are: | Cells that open and close stomata |
Mesophyll Leaf Structure Contains (2 mesoph): | Palisade mesophyll, Spongy mesophyll |
Palisade Mesophyll has -- cells | Column-like |
Spongy Mesophyll contains | Air spaces |
Venation | Pattern of veins within leaves |
Parallel veins are found in: | Found in monocots |
Pinnate veins are: | Branching pattern with midrib ("resembling a feather") |
Palmate veins are: | two or more major veins extending outward |
Photosynthesis is: | Process in which chloroplasts capture radiant energy of sunlight and converts it into chemical energy of food |
Photosynthesis Formula | 6 CO2 + 6 H20 + 54 Photons --- C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) |
Cellular respiration | Release of food energy to accomplish work and construct new cells |
Glucose converted for transportation is: | Sucrose |
Starch is: | Glucose & sucrose linked together for storage |
Four Factors of Photosynthesis: | Water, Carbon Dioxide, Heat, Sunlight (* most important *) |
Abscission Layer is: | a layer formed to "Cut" leaf from stem. A leaf scar remains |
Other pigments showing up after A. Layer (3): | Xanthophyll, Carotene, Anthocyanin |
Xanthophyll's color is: | yellowish |
Carotene's color is: | yellowish-orange |
Anthocyanin's color is: | red, blue, purple |
More air circulation, more-- | transpiration |
Turgor Pressure | Pressure caused by water in plant; keeps stomata open |
Tendrils are: | Special vine leaves which coil arround structure for support |
Spines are: | cacti leaves without chlorophyll |
Storage leaves are (and where are they found?) | for storage, in onions |
