Term
Petal Arrangement of a Monocot
Definition
Petals are in 3's
Term
Leaf Venation of a Monocot
Definition
Leaf Venation is Parallel
Term
Vascular Bundle Arrangement in Monocots  
Definition
Vascular Bundles are scattered in Monocots
Term
Do Monocots have Primary and Secondary Growth?
Definition
No, only primary growth.
Term
Do Dicots have both Primary and Secondary Growth? 
Definition
Yes, they have both.
Term
Petal arrangement in Dicots
Definition
Petals are arranged in 4's and 5's in Dicots
Term
Leaf Venation in Dicots
Definition
Net Leaf Venation is obseverved in Dicots
Term
Vascular Bundle Arrangement in Dicots
Definition
Vascular Bundles in Dicots are arranged in a Ring Formation.
Term
Parenchyma:
Definition

-Metabolic Functions

-Contain a large central vacuole

- Have the ability to differentiate into other cell types (mostly to repair or replace organs) 

Term

Ground Tissues Functions:

 

Definition

-Photosynthesis

-Storage

-Support 

Term
3 Cell Types in Plants:
Definition

-Paranchyma

-Collenchyma

-Sclerenchyma 

Term

Collenchyma:

 

Definition

-Thick Primary Cell Walls

-Primary Function:

Support Herbaceous plants 

Term
Sclerenchyma:
Definition

Thick Secondary Cell Walls

Cannot increase in length 

Two types:

-Fibers

-Sclerids

 

Term
Fibers
Definition

Associated with Sclerenchyma cells.

Long, Slender cells with a regular secondary cell wall. 

Term
Sclerids:
Definition

Associated with the Sclerenchyma.

Short, irregularly shaped cells. 

Term
Pericycle:
Definition
Responsible for the formation of lateral roots. (branch roots)
Term
Xylem:
Definition

Conducts water and ions into a plant

-paranchyma cells

2 types of conductive cells:

-tracheids

-vessels

 

Term
Tracheids:
Definition
Long Slender cells, connected to one another by pits.
Term
Vessels:
Definition

Associated with Xylem.

Short, long diameter cells found soley in Angiosperms. 

Term
Phloem:
Definition

Responsible for the transport of sucrose and other organic compounds.

2 types of conductive cells:

-Sieve-tube members

-Companion Cells 

Term
Dermal Tissue:
Definition
"Skin" of the plant. Single layer of cells, consisting of mostly paranchyma cells. Main role is to protect the plant.
Term
Endodermis:
Definition
Acts as a filter to block out toxins from entering the Xylem. Contains the CASPARIAN STRIP.
Term
Vascular Tissue:
Definition
Mostly Xylem and Phloem. Allows the plant to eat, and get nutrients. Forms an "X" shape at the very center of the root.
Term
Pith:
Definition
Center-most region of the root in MONOCOT plants
Term

Primary Growth:

 

Definition
Up. Defying Gravity
Term
Apical Merristem:
Definition
Mass of dividing cells at the tip of the terminal bud.
Term
Auxilary Meristem
Definition
Dormant region left behind by apical merristem. has the potential to become a branch
Term
Lateral Merristems:  
Definition
Add girth to the plant, by producing secondary vascular tissue and periderm.
Term
Vascular Cambium-
Definition
Secondary meristematic tissues that produce the xylem and the phloem. Cause the plant to get girthier.
Term
Secondary Growth:
Definition
Girth caused by the production of secondary vascular tissues.
Term
Herbaceous Dicots (Xylem and Phloem)
Definition
Vascular tisues (Xylem and Phloem) are in a discrete ring that form.
Term
Woody Dicots (Xylem and Phloem)
Definition
Xylem forms a continuous cylinder.
Term
Cork Cabium
Definition
Produces cork cells. Secondary growth eliminates the epidermis which was created in primary growth, and replaces it with a tougher, more protective surface called cork.
Term
Does the monocot stem have secondary growth?
Definition
No, only primary
Term
Root System:
Definition

-Underground

-Anchors Plant

-Absorb water and Nutrients

-Conduct water and nutrients

-Food Storage 

Term
The Shoot System:
Definition

-Above ground

- Elevates the plant above the soil

Functions include: 

-Photosynthesis

- Reproduction an dispersal

-Food and water conduction 

Term
Tendencies in the flow of water:
Definition
Flow from high water potential to low water potential.
Term
Water Potential Formula:
Definition
Water Potential= Water potential due to pressure+ Water POtential die to solute concentration
Term
Root hairs:
Definition
Extensions of the root's epidermal tissue, increases surface area, and thus absorbtion.
Term
Symplastic Movement:
Definition
Movement of water and other solutes through a continuous connection of cytoplasm.
Term
Apoplastic Movement
Definition
No crossing of plasma membranes. Movement of water through intracellular spaces, and cell walls.
Term
Transpiration-Cohesion Tension
Definition
A mechanism used to pull the Xylem Sap up the plant.
Term
Transpiration:
Definition
Water loss through stromatal openings. Usually takes place during the day.
Term
How does a Stroma open and close?
Definition

Surrounded by 2 guard cells:

 

Swell when water is obtained via osmosis, thus creating a gap, and opening the stroma

 

Retract when water is lost, closing the stroma. 

Term
Haploid
Definition
Gametophyte produces gametes. Second stage.
Term
Diploid
Definition
First stage in reproduction. Sporophyte produces spores. spores germinate and produce gametophytes. gametophytes produce gametes and they reproduce that way.
Term
Plants with dominant haploid stages
Definition

Algae

Moss 

Term
Plants with dominant Diploid stages:
Definition
Ferns
Term
Male Gametophyte in plants
Definition
Pollen
Term
Ovule
Definition
Contains the female gametophyte, the egg sac.
Term
Double Fertilization: WHat is it and who uses it?
Definition
One sperm fertilizes the egg sac, and the other fertilizes the polar nuclei. Tells the plant when to begin making food. Used by the angiosperms.
Term
Fruit:
Definition
Ripened ovary. contains seeds, attracts animals. makes them poop out seeds.
Term
Seeds
Definition
Ripened or mature ovule. Also edible in most cases.
Term
Vegetables:
Definition
Edible, but not part of the reproductive organs of a plant in any way.
