The Plant Body Flashcards
It is part of THE PLANT BODY that is generally underground; obtains water and dissolved minerals for plant; usually anchors the plant firmly in place.
Root system
It is part of THE PLANT BODY that is generally aerial; obtains sunlight and carbon dioxide for plant.
Shoot system
A SHOOT SYSTEM is consists of what?
- A vertical stem bearing leaves (main organs of photosynthesis)
- Flowers and fruits (reproductive structures)
These are undeveloped embryonic shoots develop on stems.
Buds
What are the 3 TISSUE SYSTEMS in Plant Body?
Ground, Vascular, Dermal
It is a type of TISSUE SYSTEM that includes all tissues of the plant body other than vascular tissues and dermal tissues.
Ground Tissue System
It is a type of TISSUE SYSTEM that conducts materials throughout the plant body.
Vascular Tissue System
It is a type of TISSUE SYSTEM that provides an outer covering for the plant body.
Dermal Tissue System
What are the 3 types of GROUND TISSUE?
Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE CELL that is thin walled, may contain chlorophyll, loosely packed.
Parenchyma Cell
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE CELL that is a living plant cell with moderately but unevenly thickened primary walls.
Collenchyma Cell
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE CELL that the plant cell has extremely thick walls; provides strength and support to plant body.
Sclerenchyma Cell
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE that is composed of cells with thin primary walls and its function include photosynthesis, storage, and secretion.
Parenchyma Tissue
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE that is composed of cells with unevenly thickened primary cell walls, and its function is to provide flexible structural support.
Collenchyma Tissue
It is a type of GROUND TISSUE that is composed of cells that has both primary and secondary cell walls. These cells are often dead at maturity, but provide structural support.
Sclerenchyma Tissue
