Final Flashcards
Anatomy
Cell and Structures
Morphology
overall shape of plants
nonvascular
do not have a vascular system (mosses)
Gymnosperms
naked seeds, wind pollinated, cone like structure
angiosperms
inside of a fruit, flowering plants
totipotency
The ability of a cell to return to a materialistic state and produce a whole new plant.
3 organs for plants
-leaf -stem -root - all other are modified from these
monocotts
1 cotyledons
multiples of three
vascular bundles in the stem are random
Leaf Veination is parallel
dicotts
2 cotyledons
multiples of four or five
Vascular bundles in a ring
Netted veins usually
meristem
perpetually making new parts
-root and shoot Apical meristems
Tissue system
- Dermal
- vascular
- ground
leaf primordium
Youngest leaves
embryonic stage of growth
Herbaceous (primary)
- primary growth (new part)
- coming from apical meristems
Woody (Secondary)
increases diameter but doesnt add new parts comes from vascular cambium.
plant tissues
an accumulation of cells
Dermal
- epidermis: single layer of cells that interacts with the envornment
- periderm: replaces original epidermis in woody plants
Vascular
- transport and support
- xylem and phloem
Xylem
Transports water and mineral nutrients
From transpiration
Cells dead at maturity
Phloem
- transports sugar (sucrose)
- From leaves to where it is needed (roots, fruits)
Ground
- Some Functional role
- cortex (root)
- Pith (stem)
- Mesophyll (leaves)
Cell membrane

Symplast
The inside of a cell and not adjacent cells.
Primary wall made up of…
Cellulose and carbohydrates
Secondary wall

- Thick secondary walls
- xylem
Growth
irreversible increase in size (huge vacuole)
-in meristems cells divide.
initial
during cell division the cell that stays behind
Derivative
Cell leaves after division
Differintiation
When cell matures to become part of a specific tissue system.
Dedifferintiation
When a cell expresses totipotency and goes back to a meristematic state.
Primary growth
-apical meristem -leave and becomes mature cells

Histone Proteins
keep things from getting tangled
Endo-membrane system
-Nuclear envelope -ER -desmo tubials -golgi apparatus- e
Endoplamic reticulum
Makes the plasma desmata when dividing. helps to package things to send to golgi aparatus.
Rough vs. Smooth ER
Rough ER ( has rysosomes) synthesises proteins which smooth er packages
Golgi apparatus
Storage, Protein synthesis, packages proteins
Microfiliments
- Made of actin
- play a role in cytoplasmic steming
- move chloroplasts arounds
- help keep CO2 moving
Micro tubials
- spindels in cell meiosis
- made of little parts
- play role in cell shape
- right by cell walls
- build new cell walls
- guide Rosetts around
Rosettes
Synthesis microfiberal in the cell wall (cellulose chains)
Primary Cell wall
Cell wall layed down during growth and continuing until end of growth
Secondary Cell wall
Layed down after cell has stoped growing very rigid made of lignin
Concrete
Pectin, Hemicelulose and proteins
Rebar
strands of cellulose
Matrix
Pectin and hemicellulose that form long chanes of cellulose are trapped in
Lumen

may have glands which secret a lubricant to push through soils.
Trichomes
any outgrowth of epidermis
hairs, scales, glandular.
no ground tissue
Stamata
Pair of guard cells that open and close to let CO2 in and as a consequence allow water to go out.
