Vascular bundle, phloem, xylem

In what tissues can indeterminate growth occur?

1. Root tips

2. Shoot tips

3. Apical meristems

4. Lateral meristems

5. All of the above

5. All of the above

Lenticles definition

Openings in the periderm that facilitate gas exchange between interior cells and the outer atmosphere

Stomata definition

Openings in the surface of a leaf that facilitate gas exchange

Guard cell definition

Specialized plant cells in the epidermis of leaves that are produced in pairs and regulate stomatal pores

Cuticle definition

A waxy coating of a leaf that protects the plant from excessive water loss

Trichomes definition

Leaf structures that are an extension of the above-ground epidermal cells in plants can give a leaf surface a fuzzy appearance and reduce evapotranspiration

Which of the following is not true of secondary growth in plants?

1. It creates growth rings that can aid scientists in the aging of trees

2. It is produced by lateral meristems

3. It occurs in all vascular land plants

4. It eventually leads tot he development of the periderm in many mature plants

5. It is responsible for growth in the thickness of many plants

3. It occurs in all vascular land plants

In what part of the cell will you not find meristematic tissue?

1. root cap

2. ground tissue

3. dermal tissue

4. zone of cell division

5. vascular tissue

1. root cap
