Quiz 2 Flashcards
Early plants with shoots had
No vascular tissue or roots
Had rhizoids
first type of roots were
adventitious: arise from shoots
2 types of roots
- adventitious
2. roots from other roots
what plants have roots from other roots
seed plants
what is the first root of seed plants>
radicle
seed plant roots contain
radicle, cotyledons, hypocotyl, and epicotyl
what is a cotyledon
in seed plant–> seed leaves
What is a hypocotyl
connects roots to shoots in seed plants
axis that connects cotyledons to the root
epicotyl
in seed plants
- above the hypocotyl
- young shoot
radicles die in what plants>
palms and grasses
monocots have what type of roots?
adventitious only
what is the function of a root
- water/nutrient uptake
- anchoring
- storage
- photosynthesis (some)
Epiphytes are
plants that grow on other plants
- does not parasitize them
- does not root in the soil
name the root zones
- apical meristem (RAM)/zone of cell division
- zone of elongation (growth occurs)
- zone of differentiation (maturation where stele matures and trichomes elongate)
What did roots evolve from?
rhizomes
Root apical meristem (RAM)
zone of cell division-apical meristem where primary root growth occurs
- RAM is bifacial
- cells formed to outside produce root cap
- cells formed to inside produce plant body
Root cap
covers and protects the root tip
protects RAM
can sense gravity: cells in columella have statoliths
quiescent center
light colored cells in RAM
no division
zone of differentiation
root hairs are trichomes that increase surface area for water/nutrient absorption
-only certain epidermal cells produce root hairs
Periderm
- replaces epidermis
- to the inside is cork parenchyma for photosynthesis and storage
- cork is to the outside and is dead at maturity. suberin in cw
- cork cambia is replaced and new cork cambia form in older secondary phloem (light and dark bands in bark)
- lenticels
