ocular lens

eye pice on top of arm

when "e" is placed on a wet mount and put into focus, it's image shifts _____ compared to the original

reflected over the x and y axis

objective lens

eye piece with the stage

scanning lens

red
-4 X 10 = 40

ocular lens multiplier

constantly x10

objective lens multiplier

scanning: x4
low power: x10
high power: x40

low power lens

yellow
-10 X 10 = 100

high power lens

blue
-40 X 10 = 400

internodes

section of stem between nodes

nodes

point where leaves are attached to stem

monocot cotyledon

one cotyledon

dicot cotyledon

two cotyledons

monocot leaf venation

parallel veins

dicot leaf venation

net-like

monocot vascular bundles in stems

scattered through out

dicot vascular bundles in stem

arranged in a ring

monocot roots

fibrous

dicot roots

taproot

herbaceous

non woody

which region of the root is oldest

zone of maturation

what produces secondary roots

(lateral roots)
pericycle

dicot vascular bundle in the root

x of xylem in the center surrounded by p in the crevasses, surrounded by a ring of pericycle then endodermis

monocot vascular bundle in the root

arranged in a ring with pith ground tissue in the middle and cortex ground tissue surrounding it
from outward in: has sclarenchyma cells, then xylem, then phloem

function of amyoplasts

storage of starch
-within cortex cells

apical meristem is ___, relative to the root cap

behind

projections that come off of the stem apical meristem

leaf perimordium

these form just behind the leaf perimordium

nodes

leaf pericardium forms into

young leaves

the stem has a waxy, waterproof material covering the epidermis layer called

cutin

the cortex is composed of ___ cells

collenchma

collenchyma cells

aid in supporting stem
have unevenly thick walls

ground tissue is found in:
monocots
dicots
both
neither

both

the vc produces ____ (___) to its outside and ____ (___) to its inside

secondary phloem (bark)
secondary xylem (wood)

what's the different between spring and summer wood

inner cells of xylem (spring wood) are large for transporting the large amounts of water that come from rain and the outer cells of xylem (summer wood) are smaller because less rain comes

____ outside of the phloem makes up the annual rings of wood

secondary xylem cells

what type of growth occurs in the woody stem

secondary

cork cambium produces what

the outermost layer of bark called cork

periderm

outside of the cortex to prevent water loss

3 types of leaves

simple
compound
doubly compound

endodermis function

regulate water flow to vascular tissur=e

parenchyma cells

cells contain chloroplasts for Ps
spaced out for gas exchange

stomata allow

gas exchange

guard cells

regulate stomata opening
open when filled with water/solutes
close when water/solutes leave cells

stomata close in a ____ solution

hypertonic
(because water rushes out towards the high solute concentration)

sugar produced is used immediately or stored as

starch

the pH buffer in lab was

phenol red

phenol red turns yellow because

the addition of CO2 to the solution turns it acidic

phenol red turns yellow then back to pink because

the CO2 was all used up and it was using O2, which made it more basic

when phenol red turns yellow, it is now called

carbonic acid

when phenol red turns yellow then back to pink it is called

bicarbonate

Rf value calculated by

distance moved by the pigment
_________________
distance from origin line to solvent front
-solvent front being the top line

the most commonly used technique for separating dissolved compounds such as the photosynthetic pigments is known as

paper chromatography

chlorophyll a pigment color

blue-green

chlorophyll b pigment color

yellow-green

carotene pigment color

yellow-orange

what does the Rf value tell you

the larger the Rf value, the farther it moved up the paper

___ is not absorbed

green
-instead, is reflected and whats why leaves appear green

___ and ____ are the most absorbed

red and violet/blue
-absorbed and we don't see it

this chloroplast pigment is most absorbed

chlorophyll b

visible light spectra

400nm-750nm

when chlorophyll absorbs light during Ps, an ____ becomes _____

an electron becomes excited

function of the root cap

protect and lubricate

function of ground tissue in roots

transportation of minerals/water to the steele and storage of startch
