Kingdom Plantae Test

dermal tissue

protects, lets the plant retain or release water. Aids in absorbtion in roots.

vascular tissue

transortation system. Two types: Xylem and Phloem

ground tissue

Producing sugar, storing materials, and support. 

meristematic tissue

ability to regenerate. Full of undiffientiated cells (Stem cells). CRitical in asexual reproduction. 

cuticle

protective dermal layer, transparent (photosynthesis), keeps bacteria out

stomata

small pores on underside of leaf for gas exchange

guard cells

Modified epidermal cells. Responsible for opening and closing stomata. 

palisade mesophyll

column shaped, tightly packed, contains chloroplast, location is ideal for photosynthesis

spongy mesophyll

Loosely arranged and creates an airy layer for gas exchange. 

upper/lower epidermis

Outermost layer of dermis. Protection, secretes cuticle. 

xylem

water, minerals, dead cells

phloem

vascular tissue, food, living cells

vascular bundle

vascular system (transport) for food/water

male reproductive parts

stamen: anther and filament

female reproductive parts

pistil: stigma, style, ovule, ovary

monocot

One cotyledon, parallel veins, random vasc bundles, fibrous roots, mult of 3

dicot

Two cotyledon, branch veins, ring vb, taproot, mult of 5

taproot vs fibrous root

Taproot is one main vein with other ones off of that one, and fibrous is more random and sprawled out

alternation of generation

sexual reproductive cycle of **all** plants

pollination vs. fertilization

Pollination is when pollen transfers, and fertilization is after pollination has sucessfully happened

transpiration

The process when plants take in water through the roots and it diffusing from the leaves. Light intensity, temperature increase, and wind speed can make transpiration increase. High humindy can make the process of transpiration slow.

photosynthesis

Light Reaction / Electron Transport Chain / Calvin Cycle
