seed leaves produced by embryo that serve to absorb nutrients packaged in the seed until the seedling is able to use it's first true leaves for photosynthesis
angiosperms
flowering plants
monocots
have one cotyledon
parallel veins
scattered vascular bundles
fibrous roots
petals in multiples of 3
dicots
2 cotyledons
net-like veins
vascular bundles in a ring
tap roots
petals in multiples of 4 and 5
vascular bundle
a strand of primary conductive plant tissue consiting of the xylem and phloem
node
where the leave attaches to the shoot
internode
space betweem leaves
blade
main part of the leaf
petiole
attaches leaf to node in dicots
shoot system for a monocot
draw
shoot system for a dicot
draw
sheath
attaches leaf to node in monocots
terminal bud
highest point of the shoot
axillary bud
located at junction of leaf and shoot, dormant
root
supports and absorb water and minerals from soil
root hairs
extensions of individual cells that absorb
what can roots be modified to be?
starch storage
ex. carrot
ratio of roots to shoots
1:1
apical meristem
meristem at the tip of a root or shoot that causes the root or shoot to increase in length
apical dominance
a way for the plant to use its esources to get taller, the terminal bud produces a hormone to inhibit the growth of axillary buds
be able to draw plant cell
draw
primary cell wall is made of:
cellulose
turger pressure
created when the plasma membrane presses against the cell wall
secondary wall
only in plants than need support
beween plasma membrane and primary cell wall
made of cellulose and lignin
strong and hard
protoblast
everything inside cell wall
(plasma membrane, all cytoplasm and all its contents)
