Part 3 Plants Flashcards
(40 cards)
What dose being a multicellular organism allow for?
Division of labor
Size
Interdependence of cell
What is division of labor?
Cell are specialized for one particular function
Why do multicellular organisms grow in size?
There internal transportation systems allow efficient exchange of materials
What dose it mean when a organism has Interdependence of cell?
One cell could die and the greater organism will continue to live
What are groups of similar cells called?
Tissues
What are examples of tissues
Muscle, bone, blood, epithelial (skin)
What are the two organ systems plants have?
Shoot and root system
Put these five things in order of smallest to largest: tissue, organism, specially cell, organ, and system
Specialized cell < tissue < organ < system < organism
Wheres the shoot system?
Above ground
Where’s the root system?
Below ground
What are the hair like projections on the root called?
Root hairs
What is the function of root hairs?
Increase the surface area to maximize absorption of water and minerals
The two systems are divided in to three types, what are these types?
Dermal Tissue (epidermis)
Ground Tissue
Vascular Tissue
How do the 3 types of tissue develop
Via mitosis
What the name for the region that the mitosis for the 3 types of tissue occurs
Meristem
What is the dermal tissue (epidermis) on both woody and non woody plants?
non woody plants: A thin outer layer that covers the plant and is responsible for gas exchange
woody plants: Tissue takes the from of bark and dose the same aforementioned things
In plants, most gas exchange occurs by diffusion through opening called ___________________.
Stomata and lenticel
True or False: Lenticals are the primary way for woody plants to exchange gas
True
What are lenticesl?
Raised spongy regions (pores) on woody plants
Where is the stomata located?
leaves
What allows for the control of the opening and closing of the stomata?
Guard Cells
Why do stomata close at night?
To prevent water loss through transpiration (evaporation)
True or False: Plants in hotter and dryer climates have more stomata to prevent water loss
False
When stomata have a abundance of water what happens?
They become turgid cause them to be forced open
