Lecture 8 Flashcards
(34 cards)
Xylem Transport
Water
Phloem Transport
Photosynthate
Proto vs meta
Formed early, formed late
Tracheary elements
Tracheids, vessel elements. Secondary. Dead
Fibers, Fiber Tracheids
Support. Secondary. Dead
Parenchyma cells
Storage, living cells. Primary. Living
Middle Lamella
Pectins
Primary Cell Wall
Pectins, cellulose, hemicellulose
Plasmodesma
Cytoplasm opening
Bordered Pits
cavities in the lignified cell walls of xylem conduits for water‐transport system
Types of Secondary Cell Thickening
Annular, Spiral, Reticulate, Pitted
Secondary Cell Wall Thickening Type Pairs under Proto vs Meta
Annular/Spiral, Reticulate/Pitted
Tracheids
Water passes through pit membranes
Vessel Elements
Water passes through perforation plates
Vascular Cambium
Growth tissue between phloem and xylem
Fusiform vs Ray Direction
Axial, Radial
Periclinal
parallel to the vascular cambium surface (i.e., new cells produced on outside and inside of cambium); produce secondary phloem and secondary xylem cells
Anticlinal
perpendicular to the vascular cambium surface (i.e., new cells increase the girth of cambium); produce more cambial initials
Axial System Includes
Tracheids, Fiber-tracheids, Parenchyma: rarely
Radial System Includes
Parenchyma with simple pits, Occasionally tracheids
Ray Initial
Produce rays. Rays are horizontally oriented in a stem and serve several functions: transport of food and water radially and storage (starch, protein, lipid)
Fusiform Initial
produce secondary xylem and secondary phloem (the xylem and phloem produced during secondary growth)
Resin Ducts
Secrete resin into the canal. These canals are orientated longitudinally and radially in between fusiform rays. They are usually found in late wood
Bordered Pit includes? Inside chamber?
Border. Margo and Torus
