XI Chap 6 Plant Anatomy Flashcards
(240 cards)
Study of internal structure of plants is called ___________
anatomy
Within angiosperms, monocots and dicots are seen to be anatomically different. T or F?
True
Define tissue
group of cells,
common origin,
performing a common function
Two main groups of plant tissues?
This difference is on the basis of ___________
Meristematic
Permanent
On the basis of whether cells are capable of dividing or not
Growth in plants is largely restricted to ___________ regions of active cell division called ___________
specialised, meristems
Meristos in ___________ (Latin/Greek) literally means ___________
Greek, divided
Meristems which occur at the tips of ___________ and ___________ and produce ___________ tissues are called apical meristems.
roots, shoots, primary
Shoot apical meristem occupies the ___________ region of the stem axis
distant most
During formation of leaves and elongation of stems, some cells ‘left behind’ from shoot apical meristem constitute the ___________
axillary bud
Axillary buds are present in the ___________ of leaves.
axils
Axillary buds are capable of forming branches or flowers. T or F?
True
What is the intercalary meristem?
meristem which occurs between mature tissues
___________ meristem occurs in grasses and regenerates parts removed by the grazing herbivores
Intercalary
Both ___________ meristems and ___________ meristems are primary meristems.
Why?
apical, intercalary
because they appear early in life of plant and contribute to formation of primary plant body
Meristem that occurs in mature regions of roots and shoots are called ___________ or ___________ meristem
secondary, lateral
Primary meristems appear later than secondary meristems. T or F?
False, other way around
Secondary and lateral meristems are cylindrical meristems. T or F?
True
Examples of lateral meristems?
Fascicular vascular cambium,
interfascicular cambium,
cork-cambium
Lateral meristems are responsible for producing ___________ tissues
secondary
Following divisions of cells in BOTH primary and secondary meristems, the newly formed cells become structurally and functionally specialised and lose the ability to divide. T or F?
True
___________ or ___________ cells lose the ability to divide and constitute permanent tissues.
Permanent, mature
During the formation of the primary plant body, specific regions of the apical meristem produce ___________, ___________ and ___________ tissues
dermal, ground, vascular
Cells of permanent tissues do not generally divide further. T or F?
True
Permanent tissues having all cells similar in structure and function are called ___________
simple tissues
