Function of epidermis
|
Outer layer of cells that surrounds the stem. Has a waxy waterproof cuticle
|
|
Function of cortex and pith
|
Ground tissue that surrounds vascular bundles
|
|
Function of Xylem
|
Transports water and ions through the plant
|
|
Function of Phloem
|
Sugar transport
|
|
Function of guard cells and where are they located
|
Change shape to open or close the pore in stomata to control gas and water transport
|
|
What are the 3 zone in root systems and what happens in each section
|
zone of cell division: contains the apical meristem, where cells divide. zone of cellular elogation: made up of cells derived from apical meristem, actively increase length.zone of celluar maturation: older cells complete differentiation into dermal, vascular, and ground tissues. epidermal cells produce root hairs to increase surface are.

What is the function of the pericycle
|
Strengthens the stem and provides protection for vascular bundles

|
What makes a monocot stem different from a dicot
|
The vascular bundles are randomly spread out and it has no secondary growth
|
|
Why do lawns need to be watered frequently in dry regions?
|
They have shallow root systems
|
|
What is the function of the pericycle in woody roots
|
They produce the root cork cambium
|
|
How does secondary xylem and phloem come about
|
A thin layer of procambuim cells between xylem and phloem differentiate into vascular cambium
