What is the function of the plant cell wall?
Click to flip
The plant cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell while also facilitating communication between cells.
Click to flip
What are the three primary types of plant tissues?
Click to flip
The three primary types of plant tissues are dermal, vascular, and ground tissues.
Click to flip
Describe the role of xylem in plants.
Click to flip
Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Click to flip
What is the function of phloem in plants?
Click to flip
Phloem transports sugars and other organic nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Click to flip
What role do stomata play in plant leaves?
Click to flip
Stomata are small openings on leaves that facilitate gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere.
Click to flip
How does the cuticle assist plant leaves?
Click to flip
The cuticle provides a protective, waxy layer on leaves to minimize water loss and provide a barrier against pathogens.
Click to flip
What is the primary function of parenchyma cells?
Click to flip
Parenchyma cells are involved in photosynthesis, storage, and tissue repair and regeneration.
Click to flip
What are trichomes, and what function do they serve?
Click to flip
Trichomes are hair-like structures on plant surfaces that protect against herbivores, reduce water loss, and regulate temperature.
Click to flip
Explain the significance of the cell membrane in plant cell functions.
Click to flip
The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
Click to flip
What are sclerenchyma cells and their function?
Click to flip
Sclerenchyma cells provide structural support with their thick, lignified walls.
Click to flip
What role does the chloroplast have in plant cells?
Click to flip
Chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose.
Click to flip
How does the vacuole contribute to the plant cell's function?
Click to flip
Vacuoles maintain cell turgor pressure, store nutrients and waste, and degrade materials within the cell.
Click to flip
Differentiate between primary and secondary growth in plants.
Click to flip
PRIMARY growth increases length, focusing on roots and shoots, while SECONDARY growth increases girth, involving cambium activity.
Click to flip
Describe the function of collenchyma cells in plants.
Click to flip
Collenchyma cells provide flexible support to actively growing plant parts without inhibiting growth.
Click to flip
What is the primary distinction between monocot and dicot stems?
Click to flip
Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles, while dicot stems have vascular bundles arranged in a ring.
