Question 28

What are the four plant tissue types and their fxns?

Answer 28

Dermal tissue: covers outer surface of entire plant, most common is epidermis, fxn is to control gas exchange and prevent water loss Vascular tissue: fxn is to transport water and sugar throughout plant and support, two types are xylem and phloem Ground tissue: all of the cells in the stem, roots, and leaves that surround the vascular tissue up to the dermal tissue, most common is parachyma which stores food Meristematic- dividing tissue (apical and lateral meristem)

Question 29

Answer 29

Transports water and sugar throughout plant body Xylem- roots to leaves Phloem- leaves to other parts of plant

Question 30

Answer 30

Apical: located at the tips of roots and stems, responsible for lengthening of the stems and roots Lateral: occur in a ring along entire length of stems and roots, responsible for increase in diameter of stems and roots

pinnately left, palmately right

Question 33

What is the most common dermal tissue?

Answer 33

epidermis

Question 34

What is the best fit line and value of R2?

Answer 34

Best fit line- straight line that runs closest (in between) to all points as you can get R2 is a measure of how close the data are to the fitted line R2 = 0-1 Strong correlation is closer to 1 Weak correlation is closer to 0

Question 35

What is an independent variable?

Answer 35

causes change in dependent variable, for nematode experiment= organic matter, water percentage, soil density

Question 36

What is a dependent variable?

Answer 36

changes depending on independent variables, for nematode experiment= the number of nematodes observed

Question 37

What is a control variable?

Answer 37

not changed or measured, but held constant so as not to influence other variables

Question 38

How do you calculate soil water percentage?

Answer 38

(1-(dry weight/wet weight))100= water percentage wet weight= reference sample-weight of the dish dry weight= reference sample left alone for a week-weight of the dish

How do you calculate Simpson's diversity index?

Answer 39

1-[sum(nx(n-1))/Nx(N-1)]

Question 40

What do the values of Simpson's diversity index mean?

Answer 40

closer to 1 is more diverse

Question 41

What is the difference between species richness and relative abundance?

Answer 41

Species richness- number of different species in a community Relative abundance (evenness)- greater if all species are evenly distributed within a community, less if one species dominates
