Bio - Plant Tissues/Monocotvs.Dicot Flashcard 10.18.22

Front

What is ground tissue in plants?

Back

Ground tissue is a type of plant tissue that provides support, storage, and photosynthesis. It includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma tissues.

Front

Which tissue is responsible for supporting young stems and roots?

Back

Collenchyma tissue supports young stems and roots, providing flexibility and strength.

Front

What is phloem?

Back

Phloem is a vascular tissue in plants that transports sugars and other organic nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What is xylem?

Back

Xylem is a vascular tissue that carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

Where are apical meristems found?

Back

Apical meristems are found at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for the growth in length of the plant.

Front

What is the function of parenchyma tissue?

Back

Parenchyma tissue is involved in storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair in plants.

Front

What role does sclerenchyma tissue play in plants?

Back

Sclerenchyma tissue provides structural support and strength to mature plant parts.

Front

How do monocots differ from dicots?

Back

Monocots have one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of three, while dicots have two seed leaves, net-like leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of four or five.

Front

What is the role of the cuticle in plants?

Back

The cuticle is a waxy layer that covers the epidermis of leaves and stems, helping to reduce water loss.

Front

What is the primary function of the epidermis in plants?

Back

The epidermis serves as a protective outer layer for plant organs, preventing water loss and providing a barrier against pathogens.
