Plant Primary Growth

what are the Pros of growing

greater reach for resources

harder for consumers to eat you

decreased SA:V

What are the cons of growing

requires use of additional resourses,

bigger reward for consumers

Decreased SA:V

Leaves

composed of a Petiole and Blade

Stems

composed of nodes and internodes, branches are produced at nodes

what is an internode

the space between a node

roots

branched structure and have root hairs

what are the 3 parts of plant organization

cell walls of plant are made of cellulose, fungi’s are made of chitin

what is turgor pressure?

it provides the support of the cell

What is wilting

The loss of turgor pressure

Parenchyma

plant tissues made of cells with just a primary cell wall

Collenchyma

cells have unevenly thickened primary walls. flexible

Sclerenchyma

cells have a thick secondary wall. almost always kills the cell. rigid

what are the 3 major kind of plant cells?

Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma

Dermal tissue

protection, mostly on outside

Vascular tissue

transport of materials

Ground tissues

everything that Dermal and Vascular do not do

what are the 3 tissue systems

Dermal, Vascular, and Ground

what is primary gwoth

the production of non-woody stems, roots, and leaves

what is a meristem

it is a plant growth point where cells are produced

What does a Root apical meristem look like
