Leaf adaptation
-
tendrils
-Leaf tendrils are only one
way that plants have
evolved in response to
selection for increased
support during growth-
-
taproot system
comprises one thick, cylindrical main root known as the primary root
fibrous root
-monocot
adventitious roots
-plant roots that form from any nonroot tissue
exodermis
-outer layer of root Cortex ,responsible for the radial flow of water and ions and nutrients
endodermis
-inner layer of root cortex
pericycle
-lies inside the endodermis ,outer most part of the Steele plants
eudicot
-flowering plant who has two seed leaves -forms a circle
secondary growth
-
primary xylem
primary phloem
cork cambium
vascular cambium
-produces secondary xylum
Sclerenchyma cells
Cells with highly-lignified secondary cell walls, that are dead upon maturityprovide structural support to the plant. They have thick, highly-lignified secondary cell walls, making them rigid and tough. These cells lose their protoplasm at maturity, meaning they are dead when fully developed.
pericycle
apoplectic pathways
the pathway in which water travels across the root to the xylem only through the cytoplasm of plant cells
aquaporins
the water-conducting channel proteins that span the plant cell’s plasma membrane?
epiphyte
A plant that grows on an another plant
shoot system
system above aground ,(leaves and steam )
active transport mechanism
two ; symport ,anti port
flaccid
-hard and rigid
turgid
-
prairie
-plant very fertile
