-
angiosperm, has one seed leaf, leaves veins are parallel, vascular bundles are scattered, floral parts are multiples of three(6), fibrous roots are shallow and branched
monocots
-
angiosperm, has two seed leaves, leaves veins are branched, vascular bundles are in rings, floral parts are multiples of 4 or 5, taproot system (deeper in the ground, not highly branched)
dicots (eudicots)
-
anchors the plant in soil, absorbs and transports minerals and water, stores food, also root hairs increase surface area
root system
-
made of stems (for support), leaves (for photosynthesis), and flower (for reproduction)
shoot system
-
attachment point for leaves and flowers;
portion of stem between node
-
horizontal stem, grows along the ground, reproduces asexually (strawberries)
stolons (runners)
-
run either above or just below the surface of ground, function in reproduction, function in food storage, having buds can also form new plants
rhizomes (root-like)
-
located at the end of rhizomes, function is food storage, also reproduction (potatos of potato plant)
tubers
-
part of leaf attached to the stem, function is store food and water (celery, long structure with leaves at the end)
enlarged petioles
-
structures used for climbing
tendrils
-
-
found above cellular level of organization, below orgal level, tissues form larger structures called organs
plant tissues
-
outer protective covering (epidermus) function= protection from things getting in and water loss, gas exchange
dermal tissue system
-
conducting tissues, function= transport things within plant, support
vascular tissue system
-
filler material between dermal and vascular system, function= storage and support and photosynthesis
ground tissue system
-
most abundant type of plant cell, function= metabolism, aerobic respiration, food storage, produces the other four types of cells
parenchyma cells (in plants)
-
provide support for plant while its still growing (strings of celery stalks)
collenchyma cells (in plants)
-
dead cells in plants, thick cell wall containing protein lignin
sclerenchyma cells (in plants)
-
located in sclerenchyma cells, long/slender cells, arranged in bundles
fibers
-
located in sclerenchyma cells, shorter/thicker cells, hard coating, irregular (hardness on nuts and seeds)
sclerids
-
dead cells in plants, found in xylem tissue
water-conducting cells (in plants)
-
located in water-conducting cells, long/thin cells, tapered with cells
tracheids
-
located in water-conducting cells, wider/shorter cells, less tapered in cells
vessel elements
-
living cells in plants, phloem tissue, dont contain many organelles, companion cells share nutrients with this cell
food-conducting cells (sieve-tube members)
