UVIC BIOLOGY 186 FINAL
apical meristem - ANSWERS-IF the _______ __________ of a plant is cut off, it is
no longer able to grow.
collenchyma - ANSWERS--alive at maturity
-unevenly thickened primary cell walls
-elongated
-flexible and elastic
ie. celery
sclerenchyma - ANSWERS--thin primary cell wall and a very thick secondary cell
wall made up of polymerized lignin
-dead at maturity
-inflexible and inelastic
ie. sunflower seeds
parenchyma - ANSWERS--alive at maturity
-surrounded by a thin and flexible primary cell wall
- has a specialized function = aeration of roots in water
ie. grapes
, monocot - ANSWERS-Is this a cross section of a monocot or eudicot?
eudicot - ANSWERS-Is this a cross section of a monocot or eudicot?
guard cells - ANSWERS-What regulates the opening and closing of the stoma?
lengthening roots and shoots - ANSWERS-What is primary growth (in plants)
responsible for?
increasing diameter of stems and roots in woody plants - ANSWERS-What is
secondary growth (in plants) responsible for?
A - ANSWERS-Choose the option that best describes the relationship between the
cell wall thickness of parenchyma cells versus sclerenchyma cells.
A) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thinner than those of sclerenchyma cells.
B) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thicker than those of schlerenchyma
cells.
C) The cell walls of both types of cells are roughly equal.
D) The thickness of the cell walls for both types of cells is too variable for a
comparison to be made.
vessel element, sieve-tube member - ANSWERS-________ is to xylem as
________ is to phloem.
