Lab 5 Flashcards
flowering plants
angiosperms
ex: grasses, palm trees, orchids, and lilies
monocots
oaks, maples, mints, roses
dicots
a single main root, enlarged for water and/or food storage, and many smaller branch roots
tap root
typical of monocots in which there are several main roots of equal size
fibrous root
thimble-shaped region of short-lived cells at the very end of the roog
root cap
site of actively dividing cells that accounts for the growth of roots and replaces cells in the root cap as they are worn off
apical meristem or zone of cell division
area of rapid root growth as cells elongate
zone of elongation
final region in which embrionic cells differentiate into specialized tissues that make up the anatomy of a root
zone of elongation
fine extentions of epidermis where water and minerals are first absorbed into the root
root hairs
larger outer region that is adapted for storage and the passage of water ad minerals tot he vascular cylinder
cortex
central core of root tissue
stele
where the conducting tissues of xylem and phloem are located
vascular bundles
advantages of fibrous
goes wide, acts like sponge over big area
advantages of tap
enlarged to store more water and deeper, more stable water source
dandelion roots example of
tap
corn and grass roots examples of
fibrous
iodine tests for
starch
what type fo tissue is the cortex?
turns blue/black to show starch and parencyma
HCl turns red to show
lignin
lignin is found in
secondary cell walls
HCl shows litin in
vascular cylindar with xylem
mesic
moderate moisture ground conditions
innermost layer of cortex
endodermis
