Exam 33: Organization of the Plant Body

Which part of a vascular plant performs most of the photosynthesis that is conducted by the plant?

What tissue in vascular plants would be used to move sugars from the roots to the stems and leaves?

What is the site of new primary growth at the apex of a shoot?

As the shoot apical meristem divides, it produces a series of bumps on its sides, which give rise to leaves. What is their name?

Xylem and phloem are examples of what type of plant tissue?

Where does the primary uptake of water and mineral ions from the soil occur?

Match each description of a plant characteristic to the letter that represents the plant group that typically has that characteristic. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -floral parts in threes (or multiples of three)

What is a potato an example of?

Which term refers to the selectively permeable barrier that is present in the innermost layer of the root cortex?

Which of the following can waterproof cell walls, thus allowing the plant to form structures such as watertight conduction channels?

What are rhizomes, tubers, corms, and stolons examples of?

Which structure surrounds and protects the root apical meristem?

Match each description of a plant characteristic to the letter that represents the plant group that typically has that characteristic. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -reproduction using seeds

Match each description of a plant characteristic to the letter that represents the plant group that typically has that characteristic. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -lack of meristems

Which term refers to the upper angle between a stem and attached leaf?

Which of the following most directly gives rise to primary vascular tissues?

Which plant organs are often connected to a petiole, may be either simple or compound, and are typically the main organs of photosynthesis and gas exchange?

Which cells make up the bulk of the soft primary growth of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits?

When an apical meristem cell divides, one daughter cell is called the initial and the other is called the derivative. What are the fates of these cells?

Match each description of a plant characteristic to the letter that represents the plant group that typically has that characteristic. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -two cotyledons
