Test 2 Flashcards
what is closed root maturation
all 3 regions arise from the same initials
what is primary growth?
the upward growth of a plant though the apical meristem
what is lateral growth?
the outward growth of plants through the vascular cambium.
what is a cambium?
a tissue that does outward growth.
what is the vascular cambium?
the meristimatic tissue that gives rise to xylem on the inside and phloem on the outside.
what tissues are in the periderm?
cork, cork cambium
What are the Functions of stems?
The leaf trace gap is below what structure in a stem?
The Bud Primordium
What line of cells in a stem run from the Bud primordial through the leaf?
The Leaf Trace
What are Auxiliary buds?
buds in the axis of leaves and shoots
What is the main difference between long and short shoots (besides length)?
The possession of leaves and other external structures.
Modopodial branching branches in what style?
alternating
sympodial branching branches in what style?
randomly
what is the main difference between sympodial and monopodial branching?
the initial shoot is redirected laterally in sympodial branching whereas it continues up directly in monopodial branching.
what is the function of the endodermis?
to prevent water from leaking into the vascular cylander
where is the pith located?
in the center of the shoot.
T/F a pith can break down and be pulled apart into a cavity?
True
the vascular cambium is what meristem?
the lateral meristem
the vascular ccambium has 2 “faces”. what are the two “faces” of the cambium?
the xylem and phloem
the vascular cambium divides periclinal or anticlinaly?
Periclinally
why do pants have ray cells?
the lateral movement of water and photosynthates in the plant.
what are the two types of initials in the vascular cambium?
Fusiform initial, and the ray initial
what do fusiform initials give rise to?
xylem and phloem
fusiform and ray initials are what to each other?
perpendicular
