Q

What is the role of stomata?

Study These Flashcards
A

regulate gas exchange between plant and environment.

control of water loss by changing size of the stomatal pores

25
Recognize stomata
round with a nucleus that looks like eye, has green pigment in the circle and looks like vagina
26
the main differences between monocot and dicots
Monocot: one cotyledon, fibrous, parallel, scattered, flowering plant in multiples of 3, one furrow, wheat, corn Dicot: 2 cotyledons, in multiple of 4 to 5, taproot, three furrow, netlike, sunflower, apple trees, in a ring.
27
compare and contrast embryo, root, stem, flower, leave
Monocot root: vascular bundle in ring forms monocot stem: scattered vascular bundle monocot leaves: parallel leaf vein together with long axis. monocot flower:3 flower part or multiple of 3
28
compare and contrast embryo, root, stem, flower, leave
dicot root: xylem in the center, x shape dicot stem: vascular bundle in ring form dicot leaves: have anastomose vein network from mid-vein Dicot flower: 4 or 5 flower part
