25
Is lateral root formation endogenous or exogenous?
endogenous (coming from within)
26
Is root hair formation endogenous or exogenous?
exogenous (coming from surface)
27
What is the ring of cells immediately outside the pericycle?
endodermis
28
What are the cells of the endodermis?
semi-permeable layer controlling the substances that enter the vascular tissue of the plant
29
What kind of cells is the cortex made up of?
parenchyma cells, relatively unspecialized cells making up much the plant body, store starch
30
What is the outermost layer of the root?
epidermis
31
What are monocot roots?
have hollow cylinder of bundles with xylem and phloem, pith (in center) and cortex (to outside), primarily composed of parenchyma cells, involved in storage
32
What is a twig?
young stem of a woody plant
33
Where is a leaf attached?
to a stem at a node
34
What do axils at each leaf contain?
axillary bud
35
Are the majority of angiosperms deciduous?
yes
36
When leaves fall off in autumn, what happens to the plant?
leaf scar forms
37
How can you determine the age of a twig?
counting the intervals between the terminal bud scars
38
What are lenticels?
loose places in bark though which gas can diffuse
39
Describe opposite leaves.
two leaves attached at each node
40
Describe alternate leaves.
one leaf attached at each node, in spiral or other arrangement on stem
41
Describe whorled leaves.
more than 2 leaves attached at each node
42
Describe basal rosette.
several leaves attached at base of stem
43
What is the blade?
flat expanded portion
44
What is the petiole?
stalk of leaf
45
What are stipules?
two smaller flat green structures attached near their base
46
What is considered a simple leaf?
one leaf with one blade
47
What is considered a compound leaf?
leaf divided into separate blades, parts called leaflets
48
What is a simple lobed leaf?
one blade has arms (lobes)
49
What is a pinnately compound leaf?
leaflets arranged like a feather
50
What is a palmately compound leaf?
all leaflets are attached at same point
51
What is a trifoliate leaf?
3 leaflets
52
What is a bipinnately compound leaf?
leaflets divided into subleaflets
53
What are parallel veins?
main veins are parallel in monocots
54
What are pinnate veins?
secondary veins branch from primary (main) vein, in eudicots
55
What are palmate veins?
all main veins arise at base of bade, found in some eudicots
56
What are dichotomous veins?
veins repetitively branch into 2 parts, unusual arrangement
57
How are eudicot stem?
contain cylinder of vascular bundles, containing xylem to inside and phloem to outside, cells toward center from this cylinder are called pith, cells to outside called cortex, pith and cortex both made predominately of parenchyma cells, involved in storage, outermost ring of cells around stem called epidermis; within each vascular bundle, ring of undifferentiated cells exists between xylem and phloem, vascular cambium will divide producing secondary xylem (wood) to inside and secondary phloem (part of bark) to outside, this tissue is part of secondary growth
58
How are monocot stems?
scattered vascular bundles in their stems, each with xylem and phloem, vascular bundles usually surrounded by fibers that help in support of stem
59
What is secondary growth?
thickening of stems and roots that occurs in some species, most of thickening comes form vascular cambium, a ring of mitotic cells
60
What is the vascular cambium?
produces secondary xylem (wood) to inside and secondary phloem to outside
61
What are plants that produce no (or very little) secondary tissue called?
herbaceous plants
62
What are plants called that produce secondary tissue called?
woody plants
63
What is a woody plant with one trunk called?
a tree
64
What is a woody plant with several stems called?
a shrub
65
What do the rings in wood mean?
annual increment of secondary xylem
66
What is the light part of each ring?
made up of large cells produced in spring when much moisture available
67
What is the dark part of each ring?
made up of small cells produced in the summer when less moisture is available
68
What is bark?
all tissues outside the vascular cambium, complex structure consisting of few to several layers, made partly of phloem produced by vascular cambium and partly of tissues from cork cambium
69
What is cork cambium?
cylinder of meristemic cells (like vascular cambium but outside it) producing cells to inside and outside
70
What is periderm?
cork cambium and its derivitives inward and outward
71
What are cork cells?
cells produced to outside
72
Is the vascular cambium and phloem living cells beneath bark?
yes
73
What is the word to know which plants have opposite leaves?
MADBUCKS
74
What 4 plants have opposite leaves?
maple, ash, dogwood, and buckeye
75
Characteristics of maple?
silvery bark with thin ridges, bark can get rough, simara fruit, red and sugar maples, 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon syrup
76
Characteristics of dogwood?
simple opposite leaves, chunky bark that's netted, flowers bloom before leaves, drupes
77
Characteristics of sweetgum?
alternate leaves, simple leaves with lobes, palmate-venation, dry dehiscent fruits, seeds released
78
Characteristics of magnolia?
white flowers smell good, simple alternate leaves, pinnate veins, fuzzy stipules for protection
79
Characteristics of red oak?
simple lobed alternate leaves, lobes are pointy, used for hardwood flooring
80
Characteristics of white oak?
round lobed leaves, acorns longer than in red oaks
81
Characteristics of ash?
pinnately compound leaves, ropey bark and flat ridges, opposite leaves, simmer fruit, dioecious
82
Characteristics of willow?
riparian, grow fast, dioecious
