shoot anatomy, morphology and function

What is 2 common features that are found in roots and in stems

what 2 things does a cortex do

what waxy layer is present on the outermost part of the plant?

produces primary xylem and primary phloem

what produces the procambium

What 3 transitional meristems are produced by the apical meristem

What three transitional meristems contribute to primary growth?

What type of growth does the apical meristem produce using the procambium, protoderm and ground meristem?

what is produced by the procambium?

transport tissue that moves water and minerals from the roots to the leaves

What are the two transport cells of xylem for water and minerals.

what two cells are hollow and dead and maturity

Part of the xylem, are larger, lack end walls and form a continuous pipeline for transport

Part of the xylem, are elongated with tapered end

Also consists of fibers and parenchyma cell

Part of the xylem that helps with transportation of water and minerals “” are larger and “” are smaller

What are two things that are common between tracheid’s and vessel elements?

allow the flow of water and nutrients from one vessel or tracheid to another easily.

”” in secondary cell wall regions where no secondary cell wall is formed (only the middle lamella and primary cell walls)

where only the middle lamella and primary cell walls are present, this is called the “”

A membrane in the pit pairs that allows water to flow freely

what two pits can vessel elements and tracheid’s have

When pressure is unequal in adjacent vascular elements (when one contains an air bubble) the “” is drawn toward the element with the lower pressure (sealing off the pit)

In boarded pit pairs, what helps protect the tracheid or vessel element from an air bubble?
