Study this deck
meristematic tissue that forms new cells
Cambium
a waterproof strip that surrounds
Casparian Strip
thin wall at the end of tube cells, small openings
companion cell
roots and stems lies outside the vascular tissue and inside the epidermis, in woody tems it gives rise to the outer portion of bark
cortex
forms the inner boundary of the cortex and the sheath surrounding the vascular bundle, helps transports items
endodermis
outer layer of cells, surface
epidermis
outer portion of the stele
pericycle
vascular tissue that transports food products
phloem
central column of tissue in stems and monocot roots
pith
central cylinder of roots, made of vascular tissue and pericyle
stele
contains the vascular tissue
vascular bundle
vascular tissue that transports water in plants
xylem
storage, make up most of the roots we eat
Parenchyma
cells have thicker walls than parenchyma, support regions of plants we eat, celery
collenchyma
cells, have tough thick cell wall, strengthen, support the plant, nuts shells
sclerenchyma
areas where cells continuously divide, and cause plant to grow
meristems
located at the ends of stems/roots help grow taller and deeper
apical meristem
between the tip and base of stems cause increase length between nodes
intercalary meristem
allow roots and stem to grow in diameter
lateral meristem
response of a plant to the enviroment
tropism
response of plants to light
phototropism
response of plants to gravity
gravitropism
response of plants to touch
thigmotropism
response of flowering plants to different light conditions
photoperiodictiy
outer most layer of leaves, stems, and roots, protects/ absourbs water
epidermal
transports materials
vascular tissue
the attraction of water molecules to each other
cohesion
the force that pulls water upwards
transpiration pull
movement of food through the phloem
translocation
food moves from an area of high pressure to low pressure
pressure flow hypothesis
soft geen stem
herbaceous
hard stem
woody
one big or main root
taproot
many smaller secondary roots
fibrous roots
part of proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll,ATP
nitrogen
DNA, ATP
phosphorous
cell walls and membranes
calcium
required for stoma opening and closing
potassium
part of chlorophyll
magnesium
part of proteins
sulfur
