(18 cards)
Cuticle
Preventing water loss
Stomata
Opening pore of leaf
Location: epidermis
Upper& lower surface
Think back to lab
Location: guard cells
Leaf surface, both side of stomata
What is transpiration
Release of water from plant leaves
Function/purpose: palisade mesophyll
Photosynthesis
Leaf veins in monocots
Parallel
Describe guard cells during the day
During day photosynthesis occurs.
Because of sunlight the guard cells allow water & carbon dioxide to goin
What does stomata originate?
Regulate the CO2, H2O, O2 that diffuses into plant
2 component of vascular bundle
Xylem & phloem
Which Part of plant traps light?
Leaf
What happens when guard cells overflow with water?
It become turgid (swollen)
Purpose/ function: guard cells
Control opening and closing of stomenten
Function: epidermis
To protect and keep from drying out
Type cell type found in palisade mesophyll
Chlorenchyma tissue (ground cell)
Which cells are specialized to traplight?
Palisade mesophyll
How is spongy mesophyll cells packed?
Loosely
What happens to stomata when the water from guard cells drains out ?
Stomata closes
