Definition
CAM photosynthesis, sunken stomata, thick epidermis and cuticle, reduced leaf size to form spines
Term
3 tissue systems
Definition
dermal, vascular and ground
Term
dermal tissue system
Definition
skin of the plant body, protection, preventing water loss, gas. exchange usually for stem and leaf - absorbing water (roots)
Term
two tissues of dermal tissue system
Definition
epidermis and periderm
Term
epidermis
Definition
original skin, young tissue in stem, roots and leaves
Term
periderm
Definition
outer covering of woody stems and roots. found in older stems and roots. periderm replaces the epidermis
Term
what is vascular tissue system used for
Definition
plumbing - moving through the vascular tissues (food water etc)
Term
two tissues in vascular tissue systems
Definition

xylem - tissue that moves water and minerals

phloem - tissue where food moves (sucrose)

Term
xylem and phloem are two tissues that consists in
Definition
veins = vascular bundles
Term
three tissues found in ground tissue systems
Definition
parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma
Term
mesophyll

Term
cortex
Definition
a region of ground tissues that is between the vascular tissues and the dermal tissues
Term
complex tissues
Definition
vascular tissues: xylem and phloem
Term
parenchyma tissue
Definition
simplest plant tissue. primary cell wall. normal things inside a typical plant cell - nucleaus, vacuole, etc. can be found in any region where there is ground tissue. made up of parenchyma cells
Term
collenchyma tissue
Definition
simple cell. primary cell wall - some regions of the wall are thick. made up of collenchyma cells. mechanical support - to young part of plants, young leaves and stems
Term
sclerenchyma tissue
Definition
usually dead when mature. cell wall lives and carries got specific functions. has thick lignified  secondary walls. fibers give mechanical support - long gated cells called fibers. sclereid are like fiber except the shape is different.
Term
xylem in vascular tissue systems
Definition
h20. minerals can be dissolved in the water, supports, xylem = wood.
Term
tracheary elements
Definition
tracheids, vessel members, parenchyma, fibers
Term
tracheids
Definition
the connection between two tracheids are done by the pits connecting together. structure kind of looks like a fiber, but instead has pits
Term
vessel members
Definition
dead when mature. they form on top of each other instead of side by side. have wide holes connecting them together. vessel member is an individual cell, but when together as a group it is called a vessel
Term
angiosperms
Definition
found in xylem. contain vessels, plants like angiosperms because it allows vessels moving water
Term
where can parenchyma and fibers be found
Definition
xylem
Term
what are the four types of cells in phloem

sieve tube members, companion cell, parenchyma, fibers
Term
sieve tube members
Definition
individual tube, living when mature, primary cell wall, but not 2nd
Term
sieve tube group
Definition
when mature don't have a nucleolus and lose all other organisms
Term
companion cell
Definition
it is connected by the plasmodesmata. has a nucleuous and other organisms
Term
epidermis tissue
Definition
original outer skin on the plant body. usually one cell layer thick, but can be more layers, usually plants found in the desert
Term
periderm
Definition
has three parts: cork cambium (middle). divide to form new cells to the outside called cork and to the inside called phelloderm
Term
outer most protection
Definition
periderm
Term
apical meristems
Definition
at the tip of stems, produces primary growth - growth in length
Term
lateral meristems
Definition
produces secondary growth - growth in thickness
Term
protoderm
Definition
is the outer most cells. this then performs epidermis
Term
procambium becomes
Definition
the xylem and phloem
Term
angiosperms
Definition

flowering plants

two sections: dicots (trees, plants with broad leaves) and monocots (grasses, don't include trees/shrubs except palm trees and a few others)

Term
dicot stem
Definition
procambium develops into xylem and phloem. xylem form from the inside in phloem form from the outside in. hasn't fully developed into xylem or phloem (woody plants, trees)
Term
monocots
Definition
flowering plants. no secondary growth. all the procambium is used up which causes no secondary growth
Term
secondary growth
Definition
lateral meristems - growth in thickness, woody stems and roots, woody plants. usually dicots and gymnosperms (conifers)
Term
two cambiums found in lateral meristems
Definition
vascular cambium and cork cambium
Term
vascular cambium
Definition
vascular tissues (secondary xylem and phloem)
Term
cork cambium
Definition
dermal (periderm)
Term
where do secondary xylem and phloem occur
Definition
vascular bundles as well as outside the bundles. when the procambium cells divide and xylem cells forms in the inside and the phloem forms to the outside
Term
cork cambium
Definition
develops in the outer cortex. develop same way as vascular cambium. when the cells divide with having cork developing outside and phelloderm to the inside. forms a new layer of cells. epidermis is replaced by peridermis (new skin)
Term

phloem moves blank

xylem moves blank

Definition
food, water
Term
where is vascular cambium found
Definition
outside xylem then phloem, cork cambium, finally periderm
Term
what does bark include
Definition
everything outside the vascular cambium including the phloem
Term
branches
Definition
form out from the pericycle
Term
mangrove
Definition
roots that survive next to the ocean. allow gas exchange. allow oxygen usually tropics
Term
vines
Definition
have roots that attach to the tree kind of like glue. adventitious roots
Term
venus fly trap
Definition
uses insects for nitrogen because soil lacks it. usually found in southern east US North and South Carolina. has trigger hairs in which triggers the plant to close and receives nitrogen from insect
Term
sun du
Definition
has glue like hairs that trap insects
Term
pitchure
Definition
attracts insects by color and necture. has a slip zone and then falls into water and drowns
Term
cobra plant
Definition
found in california. goes into the eyes then gets tired because it can't find its way out anf falls and dies
Term
charles and francis darwin
Definition
did experiments called phototropism in which they showed how plants work towards the sun. proved that there is a signal in which the plant bends to the sun. believe the signal is a little bit below the tip because when tip is covered, it doesn't tip towards the sun
Term
Peter boysen - jensen
Definition
discovered what made the plants tip from charles and francis experiment
Term
agar black then butter
Definition
if it is water soluble, it should go through the block. butter doesn't allow water soluble to pass through but didn't
Term
foil
Definition
conducts electricity so if it contains electricity it should pass through but it didn't
Term
differential growth
Definition
one side of a grass leaf grows larger than the other side
Term
frits wents
Definition
cut off tips and put it in the agar black to get all the materials. then put it on the edge of the stem and discovered that it curved away from the agar. discovered that it bent to the opposite side of the block. did entire experiment in dark. called chemical auxin for growth
Term
fruit abscission
Definition
when a fruit falls off a tree. with the increase of auxin helps to prevent the leafs and fruit from fallin off the trees
Term
why do farmers spray auxin onto potatoes
Definition
so they don't flower
Term
with less oxygen what happens to lateral meristems
Definition
they grow
Term
gibberellins
Definition
(GA). increase the growth of short cells. increased elongation and primary growth. doesn't increase secondary growth. dwarf plant and apply ga creates the plant to become normal size or larger. effects stem elongation. applying ga can help plants quicken life cycle. some plants don't flower until second year, but when applying ga it will flower in the first year
Term
tropism
Definition
directed towards the light. leans toward the sun
Term
fast and slow process for phytochrome
Definition

fast - conversion takes place in the day.

slow - takes place in dark

pred -day-> pfar red converts and goes to the other way. pfar red -night-> pred. but it is a slower process

Term
nitrogen helps to produce
Definition
protein
Term
deficient symptoms
Definition
chlorosis breaks coloer green to yellow
Term
fertilizers
Definition
minerals that is lacking. usually npk ratio of 20:10:10
Term
legume
Definition
nitrogen fixation in the roots. a dicot root. used in crop rotation, like alfalfa
Term
transpiration
Definition
the movement of water through the plant. all plants lose water through evaporation through the stomata. water movement upward. positive pressure - being forced up. negative pressure - water being sucked up from the top through evaporation
Term
root pressure
Definition
positive pressure. develops in plants hwen their is a lot of moisture of air and in the soil. water that builds up and gets forced out of the leaves is called guttation.
Term
cohesion tension theory
Definition
negative pressure. water molecules binds to each other which is called cohesion. water molecules evaporate which cause one molecule to evaporate and then sucks up the one below. cant transfer water if there is air bubbles in the xylem. stomata controls evaporation
Term
translocation
Definition
movement of food. moves in all directions. source -> sinks.
Term
pressure flow theory
Definition
active transport
