Roots - ANSWER- addition to storing carbohydrates produced by the leaves above, the roots
also secure the plant to the ground.
Grass roots - ANSWER- are tougher and more branched than roots of many other species,
making them more efficient in extracting nutrients (such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus)
from the soil.
Grass root systems are - ANSWER- compared to plants with deep taproots that can get water
from greater depths. This affects the way grasses have to be irrigated.
Shoot - ANSWER- The parts of the plant above ground are known collectively as the
The shoot includes - ANSWER- the stem (or culm) and the leaves, as well as tiny flowers and
seedheads.
The grass leaf itself is composed - ANSWER- of an upper part (the blade) and a lower part (the
sheath).
Subapical growth - ANSWER- Near the base of the plant, where blade and sheath meet, there
is an area where cell division occurs
and new leaf growth originates
Nodes - ANSWER- buds are attached along the stem at enlarged areas called
Buds can - ANSWER- regenerate new, independent plants
,Crown. - ANSWER- At the base of the plant is a region of compact internodes and buds called
the
As long as the crown remains alive - ANSWER- the plant can continue to send up shoots and
produce new roots. Even if insects or disease destroy the roots and leaves, the plant can recover if
the crown is intact. However, certain diseases and pests will attack the crown, destroying the plant.
Some grasses send up tillers, - ANSWER- which are shoots that grow in a tight, bunch-type
pattern around the crown
Each tiller develops - ANSWER- into an independent plant
Stolons - ANSWER- Above ground stems are called
Rhizomes - ANSWER- and the ones below ground are
Creeping bentgrass produces stolons - ANSWER- but no rhizomes.
Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass produce both - ANSWER- stolons and rhizomes
Grasses with stolons or rhizomes will - ANSWER- produce new plants, which will aid in filling
in divots and pitch marks.
Photosynthesis - ANSWER- Plants manufacture the food they need to function through the
process
Chlorophyll - ANSWER- which is the molecule that gives them their green color, but more
importantly, allows photosynthesis to occur
, Chlorophyll - ANSWER- collects light energy and uses it to produce carbohydrates (sugars)
from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen in the process,
Plants use the carbohydrates as - ANSWER- a source of energy for powering functions such as
nutrient absorption and reproduction, as well as for growth of stems, leaves, roots, flowers, and
seeds.
The carbohydrates produced by the plant are utilized through the process of - ANSWER-
respiration
Respiration - ANSWER- is the opposite of photosynthesis
Stomata - ANSWER- Gases enter and leave the plant through pores in the leaves called
Transpiration - ANSWER- Water is also released through the pores in a process called
Transpiration is an important process - ANSWER- because it cools the plant and aids in
movement of nutrients in the plant system.
Photosynthesis and respiration are influenced by several factors - ANSWER- including
temperature, intensity of light, the amount of leaf surface area exposed to the light, and the
availability of water, which is needed to facilitate the chemical reactions.
Respiration can take place day or night - ANSWER- but photosynthesis can occur only during
the day when sunlight is available
High temperatures and rapid growth - ANSWER- can stress the plant and deplete its reserves,
which can eventually lead to its death.
Seeding is - ANSWER- most common method for establishing turfgrasses
