1.
Apical Meristem: What kind of plant tissue does a bud contain?
2.
apical meristem: growth tissue found at or near the tips of roots and stems
3.
circular vascular bundles: dicot
4.
collenchyma: Long cells with unevenly thickened cell walls. This type of cell wall allows the cells to grow.
5.
companion cells: nucleated cells that help manage the transport of sugars and other organic compounds through the sieve cells of the phloem
6.
Cortex: Stores starch
7.
endodermis: ring of cells that regulate water flow into the xylem in roots
8.
epidermis: Dermal tissue that is composed of flattened parenchyma cells that cover all parts of the plant
9.
Fibrous: Equally sized branches roots that grow separately from the base of the stem (monocot)
10.
Guard cells: cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata
11.
meristem: areas where new cells are produced
12.
Node: The part of the stem from which a leaf or branch grows
13.
Parenchyma: The most abundant kind of plant cells
14.
phloem: vascular tissue that transports sugars from the leaves to all parts of the plant
15.
Pith: Soft spongy tissue area located in center of stems
16.
Root: Anchor the plant, transport nutrients
17.
root cap: region of cells that protect the root tip from abrasion and damage
18.
Root Hairs: Increase the root's surface are for absorption of water
19.
Scattered vascular bundles: monocot
20.
Sclerenchyma: Cells with walls that are very thick and rigid. At maturity, these cells often die, leaving the cell walls to provide support for the plant.
21.
sieve tube elements: long, cylindrical phloem cells through which sugars and organic compounds flow
22.
Stem: Transport substances throughout the plant, holds leaves up to the sun, storage (photosynthesis)
23.
stomata: Openings in the cuticle of the leaf that control gas exchange.
24.
Taproot: Long and thick primary roots that grow deep into the soul (dicot)
25.
tracheids: tubular cells, with tapered ends, which transport water throughout the plant
26.
transpiration: process of water evaporation through leaves
27.
trichomes: hairlike projections that extend from the epidermis
28.
Vascular Bundle: Bundles containing xylem and phloem
29.
vessel element: tubular cells that transport water throughout the plant. These cells are wider and shorter than tracheids
30.
xylem: plant tissue composed of tubular cells that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
