2
secondary growth
In trees and other woody plants, ________ increases the width of roots and shoots.
New cards
3
apical meristems
All of the cells and tissues that are derived directly from ________ constitute the primary plant body.
New cards
4
Vacuoles
________ store various compounds, including wastes, and in some cases, they digest wastes, as do animal lysosomes.
New cards
5
Rain
________ is abundant enough in these areas to support a lush growth of herbaceous plants- seed plants at lack woody tissue- yet scarce enough to exclude trees and most shrubs.
New cards
6
Chloroplasts
________ are, all importantly, the site of photosynthesis.
New cards
7
aboveground portion
A(n) ________ called the shoot system harvests light and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce sugars, while a belowground portion called the root system anchors the plant and takes in water and nutrients from the soil.
New cards
8
pneumatophores of mangroves
The ________ in the genus Avicennia are specialized lateral roots that function in gas exchange.
New cards
9
division of apical meristem
The ________ cells, and differentiation of those cells, is responsible for primary growth, which is common to all plants.
New cards
10
Apical meristems
________ are located near the tip of each root and shoot.
New cards
11
apical meristems
As cells in ________ divide, enlarge, and differentiate, root and shoot tips extend the plant body outward, allowing it to explore new space.
