The 3 types of plant tissues are: dermal, ground, and vascular.
List the 2 types of vascular tissue and give the function of each.
Xylem transports waters and minerals.
Phloem transports photosynthetic products.
The dermal tissue is the tissue system that covers the outside of the plant.
The vascular tissue is the tissue system that transports materials in the plant.
The ground tissue is the tissue system that makes up most of the inside of the plant.
The Vascular System
Define the 4 vocab works on page 666.
Lignin-a complex molecule that resists water and gives word much of its strength.
Vessel element-type of xylem cell that forms part of a continuous tube through which water can move.
Sieve tube elements-continuous tube through the plant phloem cells, which are, arranged end to end.
Companion cells-in plants, phloem cell that surrounds the sieve tube elements.
The combination of what 2 forces responsible for the movement of fluids through xylem: transpiration and capillary action.
Draw and label fig 23.21 on page 687.
Sugars move from the source to the sink.
An example of a source is leafs and a sink can be roots.
Water moves from xylem into phloem.
Roots
Four main functions of roots are: support a plant, anchor it in the group, store food, and absorb water and dissolved nutrients from the soil.
Draw & label fig 23.6 on pg. 670.
How do root hairs help a plant?
They penetrate the spaces between soil particles and produce a large surface area that allows water and minerals to enter the plant.
Describe the difference between taproot & fibrous root. Give an example of each.
Taproot systems have 1 main root and fibrous root systems have fine branches. Taproots are found mainly in dicots, while fibrous roots are found mainly in monocots.
What is the function of the casparian strip?
Water proof strip that surrounds plant endodermal cells and is involved in the one-way passage of materials into the vascular cylinder in plant roots.
List five major nutrients needed by a plant.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
Stems
Three functions of stems are: produces leaves, branches, and flowers; hold leaves up to the sun; and transport substances throughout the plant.
What is a vascular bundle?
Clusters of xylem and phloem tissues in stems.
How is this arranged in a monocot?
They are scattered throughout the ground tissue.
How is this arranged in a dicot?
They are generally arranged in an organized, ring like pattern.
Growth that makes stems grow taller or roots grow longer is called primary growth.
Growth that makes stems and roots of woody plants grow wider is called secondary growth.
Draw & label the growth diagram for all three years on page 676-677.
Which type of growth is responsible for tree rings? What does counting these rings tell us?
Secondary growth is responsible for tree rings. Counting these rings tell us the age of the tree.
Leave
Draw and label the cross section of a leaf.
Draw and label fig 23-16.
What do guard cells regulate?
Movement of gases, especially water vapor and carbon dioxide, into and out of leaf tissues.
What cells within the leaf are responsible for photosynthesis?
Mesophyll
Plant Life Cycle
What is the alternation of generations?
Life cycle that has two alternating phases-a haploid (N) phase and diploid (2N) phase.
Draw and label figure 22-5.
The characteristics of a sporophyte are: spore-producing plant; the multicellular diploid phase of a plant life cycle.
The characteristics of a gametophyte are: gamete-producing plant; the multicellular haploid phase of a plant life cycle.

Once Valve became independent, the organizational structure became linear, the technically CEO Gabe Newell is essential the only one not on par with everyone else. After a new employee is hired they are given a handbook (which invites the entire company to add to, revise, edit the handbook as they see fit) which states “Why does your desk have wheels? Think of those wheels as a symbolic reminder that you should always be considering where you could move…
fiber has changed and fluctuated between describing attributes from a plant source to those including the physiological effects (Pyler and Gorton 2008]. Fiber as a source is found in the cell wall of plants. The cell walls of plants are made out of nonstarch polysaccharides (Pyler and Gorton 2008). These polysaccharides are linked together in a matrix or supramolecular structure (Spiller 2001). Most dietary fiber comes from plant cell wall materials; however, shellfish and some fungi and yeasts are…
Institute of North America is based in Alexandria, VA and has a website with a wealth of knowledge about the benefits of using salt in food, water, on roads, and the benefits for our health. Also, the Salt Institute published the first Snowfighter’s Handbook in 1967 which was dedicated to providing state and local public service workers with the knowledge to combat severe winter weather on our roads by using salt. Calling it Sustainable Snow fighting, the manual states following the guidelines will produce…
provisions – usually discharge rates are double than that at a non-union plant In a non-union setting there is no written agreement between the parties for rights and obligations But the employees can fall back on the handbooks and policy manuals – found in some states to be enforceable contracts but are not as easily enforced (unilateral contracts between company and employee) Differences in wages and employment practices, in a union plant wages/benefits decided by labor contract or collective action and…
enzymes that can convert starch to sugar to provide energy Simple molecular structure Cellulose: Not consumable by humans due to enzymes inability to break down Plant-based and edible to some insects and animals Used in textiles such as rope and clothing Complex molecular structure What is a Lipid? Lipids come from some plants but mostly animals Fats, steroids and cell membranes are types of lipids An average size body will contain 22 lbs of lipids Important to the body: Lipids contain…
How did the national demand for oil affect the local businesses in Texas, and how did Texas oil discoveries affect the national oil market? As the Texas oil industry grew, so did related industries. Some companies began producing oil by-products such as petrochemicals. Others produced pipelines, barrels, and oil-field equipment. As these companies began moving into oil towns such as Houston, Beaumont, and Port Arthur, they further expanded the local economies. Some moved into small towns, quickly…
book Alfred W Crosby (American Historian at the University Of Texas At Austin) in 1972 via his published work and has widely been used by many in the literary field. The Colombian Exchange 1 is regarded as the spread or transfer of animals, culture, plants, human species and interaction, primitive technology, ideas, not to exclude the slave trade and ultimately new communicable disease between the North/South American continents and the European hemispheres in the late 15th century to the latter part…
mRNA leaves and is either modified or immediately used to construct proteins. As the strands of genes and DNA increase in length into threads, they become chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells and like DNA and genes, determine the characteristics and traits of one’s physical appearance. Chromosomes are also singular pieces of DNA which contains genes and other nucleotide…
