Study Set Content:
no further increase in cells takes place above the?
region of elongation
what causes a gradual increase in girth
secondary tissues produce by the cambium
other name for region of maturation
Region of Differentiation or Root-hair zone
it is where the cells mature or differentiate into the various distinctive cell types of the primary tissues
Region of Maturation
what helps root hairs in absorbing water and minerals
microscopic fibers
How should plants be treated after moved
watered, shaded, and pruned
Describe the cuticle
thin enough to allow water to be absorbed, but still sufficient to protect against the invasion of fungi or bacteria
inner boundary of the cortex composed of suberin and lignin
Endodermis
The cortex is composed of
Parenchyma cells to store food
Plasma membrane of endodermal cells are fused to
Casparian strips
where can casparian strips be found
radial and transverse cells
function of casparian strips
prevent water from passing through permeable or porous cell walls
regulates the types of minerals absorbed and transported by the root to the stems and the leaves
Plasmodesmata
series of pores or channels that served as bridges between two plant cell
Plasmodesmata
Core of tissue inside the endodermis
Vascular Cylinder
important layer of parenchyma tissue that is one cell wide
Pericycle
Lateral or branch roots and part of the vascular cambium or dicots arise
In the pericycle
most dicot or conifer roots primary xylem:
tracheids and vessels
In woody plants, what arises in the pericycle
cork cambium that gives rise to the cork tissue
growth that stops after an organ such as flower or leaf is truly expanded or after a plant has reached a certain size
Determinate Growth
