Definition
| - In vascular plants it is the central part of the root or stem |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- It is the water conducting cell that is found in the Xylem in nearly all vascular plants
- Tracheids that are functioning are no longer living |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - cells that form in the shape of a cone at the tip of the plant that protects them from the apical meristem |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - All of a plant's roots, which anchor it into the soil, absorb and transport minerals and water and store food |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - the aerial portion of the plant body (upper) that consists of stems, leaves and in (angiosperms) flowers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - organ that anchors a vascular plant in the soil, absorbs minerals and water, and often stores carbs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- most eudicots and & gymnosperms have this
- consist of one main vertical root, which develops from an embryonic root |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- the taproot gives rise to this
- branch root |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- is the organ that raises or separates leaves & exposes them to sunlight
- also raise reproductive structures,which facilliatates dispersal of pollen and fruits |
|
|
Term

Term
|
Definition
| - a characteristic of plants in which the organism grows through out it's whole life |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Stopping growth after a certain size
- most animals, some plant organs such as leaves thorns and flowers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - plant tissue that remains embryonic as long as the plant lives allowing for indeterminate growth |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - located at the tips of roots and shoots and in axillary buds of shoots that provide add'l cells that enable growth in length |
|

Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - Growth in thickness that is caused by the lateral meristems called vascular cambium and cork cambium |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- thimble like, protects apical meristem as the root pushes through the soil during primary growth
- secretes polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of root
- Growth occurs just behind the tip in 3 overlapping zones of cells at successive stages of primary growth
- these zones are for cell division, elongation and differentiation |
