Plant Tissues And Systems Flashcards
(13 cards)
What makes plant cells unique from animal cells?
Cell wall, Central vacuole and Chloroplants
What is NOT one of the three main tissues in plants?
cellulose tissue
ALL the parts of the plant that grow above ground are called its —
system.
Shoot
Tubers are enlarged structures in some plant species used as storage organs for nutrients. Examples of tubers include potatoes, taro, and jicama. Tubers are part of a plant’s -
Root system
The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier points and creates our skin tone. How are the epidermis of humans and the dermal tissue of plants similar?
Both are a protective, outer covering.
True or false Ground tissue is only found underground.
False
What is the function of vascular tissue in plants?
to transport water, minerals, and organic compounds
How is a plant’s vascular system similar to the cardiovascular system in vertebrates?
Both systems contain a network of tubes that are used to transport substances throughout the organism.
The main site of photosynthesis is the plant’s — This is the SOURCE of the plant’s sugar.
Leaves
What structure of the root increases surface area to maximize the absorption of water?
Root hair
How does SUGAR make its way into phloem from the leaves of a plant?
active transport
Students put several celery stalks in dye solutions as shown below-First the students carefully cut the bottom of each stalk with a scalpel.
Then they put the stalks in beakers of colored water. The next day the students notice that the leaves at the end of each stalk have changed color from green to red, orange, yellow, dark green, blue, indigo and violet.
How do plant systems work together to make this movement of liquid possible?
The roots absorb water and minerals and move them up to the stem, while the stem moves food produced in the leaves down to the roots in tiny tubes.
What describes transpiration?
the loss of water vapor through leaves
