dermal
Plant organs are composed of three tissue systems: ---, vascular, and ground.
sclerenchyma
Plant tissues are composed of three basic cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, and ---.
Meristems
--- generate cells for new organs throughout the lifetime of a plant.
apical
Primary growth: --- meristems extend roots and shoot by giving rise to the primary plant body.
lateral, periderm
Secondary growth: --- meristems add girth by producing secondary vascular tissue and ---.
expansion
Plant growth involves both cell division and cell ---.
apex
Clonal analysis of the shoot --- emphasizes the importance of a cell's location in its developmental fate.
monocot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: One cotyledon
monocot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Leaf veins usually parallel
monocot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Complex arrangement of vascular bundles
dicot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Vascular bundles usually arranged in a ring
monocot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Fibrous root system
monocot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Floral parts usually in multiples of three
dicot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Two cotyledons
dicot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Veins usually netlike
dicot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Taproot usually present
dicot
Monocot/Dicot Comparison: Floral parts usually in multiples of 4 or 5
Cotyledons
Seed leaves present in the embryo of the plant.
eudicots
The dicot group includes the largest class of angiosperms, the ---.
hairs
Most absorption of water and minerals occurs near the root tips, where vast numbers of tiny root --- increase the surface of the root enormously.
epidermal, lateral
Root hairs are extensions of individual --- cells on the root surface, not to be confused with --- (branch) roots, which are multicellular organs.
adventitious
Above-ground roots are said to be --- (from the Latin adventicius, extraneous), a term that describes any plant part that grow in an atypical fashion.
Shoots
--- consist of stems and leaves.
nodes, internodes
A stem is an alternating system of ---, the points at which leaves are attached, and ---, the stem segments between nodes.
axil, axillary
In the angle (---) formed by each leaf and the stem is an --- bud, a structure that has the potential to form a vegetative branch.
terminal
Most axillary buds of a young shoot are dormant. Thus, growth of a young shoot is usually concentrated at its apex (tip), where there is a --- bud with developing leaves and a compact series of nodes and internodes.
inhibiting, apical dominance
The presence of the terminal bud is partly responsible for --- the growth of axillary buds, a phenomenon called --- ---.
axillary
When an animal eats the top of the plant (removing the terminal bud), --- buds break dormancy.
terminal
A growing axillary bud gives rise to a vegetative branch complete with its own --- bud, leaves, and axillary buds.
axillary
Removing the terminal bud usually stimulates the growth of --- buds.
asexually
Stolons grow on the surface of the ground and enable a plant to colonize large areas --- when the single parent plant fragments into many smaller offspring.
underground
Rhizomes are horizontal stems similar to stolons except that they grow ---.
rhizomes
Tubers are the swollen ends of --- specialized for storing food.
shoots, leaves
Bulbs are vertical, underground --- consisting mostly of the swollen bases of --- that store food.
