______, _______, ___________ ____, _______________,
_______
(plural)
(pg 3, FCHP)
Primary Growth The type of growth occurring from Apical Meristems
(pg 3)
Primary Growth The type of growth that results in the elongation of shoots and
roots
(pg 3)
Apical Meristem The meristem located at the tip of a shoot or a root. a.k.a.
Primary Meristem
(singular)
(pg 4)
The type of growth occurring from secondary meristems.
Secondary Growth
(pg 4)
,Secondary Growth The type of growth that results in the widening / increase in
diameter of stems, branches, and roots.
(pg 4)
Secondary Growth The type of growth that produces the wood of trees
(pg 3 & 4)
Secondary Meristem The type of meristem that produces Secondary
Growth
a.k.a Lateral Meristem
(singular)
(pg 3 & 4)
Buds House primary meristems in the shoots of a plant. Can be
lateral or terminal. Can develop into a shoot or a flower
(plural)
(pg 4)
Stipules Modified leaves (differing in function from true leaves)
which serve to protect the buds meristematic region and
any developing shoot growth
(plural)
(FCHP)
Root Cap Overlapping scales which help protect the apical meristem of
roots
(singular)
(pg 4)
The first type of Secondary (lateral) Meristem
Cambium
(pg 4)
, Cambium A thin sheath of dividing cells (region of mitosis) which
produces cells that specialize in making up the vascular
system (vascular tissue) of the plant.
(pg 4)
Cork Cambium The second type of Secondary (lateral) Meristem which
produces the bark.
(pg 4)
Periderm The bark of the tree.
Literally meaning "enclosing skin"
(pg 4)
Cellulose The component of the cell wall that provides the cell with
its structure. It plays a large role in providing the
framework of different types of cells.
(pg 4)
Lignin Provides strength and rigidity to the cell walls of wood in
a tree. It helps allow the tree to grow so tall without
collapsing in on itself from its own weight.
(pg 4)
The following are the 4 primary functions of _____:
1. Conduction of water & minerals throughout woodyplants
2. Supports the weight of the tree
