ISA Arborist Tree Identification Study Set 440 questions with
|| || || || || || || || ||




precise detailed solutions || ||




Secondary Growth - ✔✔Fx: Increase girth of organs; gymnosperms an eudicots.
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Arises from lateral meristems
|| || ||




>Vascular cambium ||




>Cork Cambium ||




Vascular Cambium - ✔✔Located between primary xylem and phloem;
|| || || || || || || || ||




Formation: Latent procambium, fascicular cambium, interfascicular cambium.
|| || || || || ||




Fascicular Cambium - ✔✔Located within vascular bundles
|| || || || || ||




Interfasciculer Cambium - ✔✔Located in cortex between vascular bundles
|| || || || || || || ||




Fascicular + Interfascicular - ✔✔= continuous ring of vascular cambium
|| || || || || || || || ||




Vascular Cambium Cells (ray initials) - ✔✔>radial system
|| || || || || || ||




>elongate perpendicular to main axis || || || ||




>Differentiate into ray parenchyma || || ||




>Divide periclinally ||




>Spokes in cross section || || ||




Fx: move water and solutes horizontally
|| || || || ||




Vascular Cambium Cells (fusiform initials) - ✔✔>Axial system
|| || || || || || ||

,>Oriented parallel to main axis || || || ||




>Produce secondary xylem and secondary phloem between rays
|| || || || || || ||




>divide periclinally
||




>Cambial Zone ||




Fx: move water and solutes longitudinally
|| || || || ||




Cambial Zone - ✔✔increases through anticlinal divisions
|| || || || || ||




Secondary Xylem - ✔✔Softwood; || || ||




>Typically gymnosperms; ||




>Tracheids only; no vessel elements or fibers.|| || || || || ||




Hardwood;

>Mostly eudicots ||




>tracheids, vessel elements, fibers || || ||




Heartwood - ✔✔Older, near center; Plugged with resin
|| || || || || || ||




Sapwood - ✔✔Functional, conducting wood; Younger wood; Closer to stem surface
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Spring Wood - ✔✔Early wood; Rainy season; More Vessels (angiosperms); Wider diameter
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




vessels and tracheids
|| ||




Summer Wood - ✔✔Late wood; Less water available; More tracheids; Smaller diameter cells
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




Annual rings (Growth Rings) - ✔✔Annual rings - one season's growth
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Growth Rings - seasonal activity of vascular cambium
|| || || || || || ||

,Both provide information about life cycle and life history of a tree.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




Bark - ✔✔Secondary phloem and periderm
|| || || || ||




Secondary Phloem - ✔✔Formed from fusiform initials; Inner -Functional; Outer - dead non
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




functional; protect inner tissue. || || ||




Ray parenchyma and sieve elements alternate with bands of fibers
|| || || || || || || || ||




Periderm - ✔✔replaces original epidermis as girth increases; Protects and insulates
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




underlying tissues; ||




Three Regions: Phellem = cork cells
|| || || || ||




Phellogen= Cork Cambium || ||




Phelloderm = Secondary Cortex || || ||




Phellogen (Cork Cambium) - ✔✔Meristem tissue; Mid layer; produces other two layers
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




Phelloderm (Secondary Cortex) - ✔✔Resemble parenchyma cells (alive); Arranged in
|| || || || || || || || || ||




regular rows; May be photosynthetic and contain intercellular space
|| || || || || || || ||




Phellem (Cork Cells) - ✔✔Dead, suberinized cells; Densely packed;
|| || || || || || || ||




Fx: Keep water in; Protective barrier against predators.
|| || || || || || ||




Lenticels



Lenticels - ✔✔Openings in cork cells || || || || ||




Formed by phyllogen || ||

, Continuing Growth - ✔✔secondary xylem added to inside of vascular cambium; secondary
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




phloem added to outside; Vascular cambium expands; Cork cambium doesn't expand much
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




circumferentially; new cambium formed; New cork cells become suberized to block water || || || || || || || || || || || ||




and nutrients fro secondary phloem.
|| || || ||




Outer Bark - ✔✔outside cambium; dead
|| || || || ||




Inner Bark - ✔✔secondary phloem between cork and vascular cambiums; alive
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Matter - ✔✔Anything that has mass or takes up space.
|| || || || || || || || ||




Model - ✔✔An explanation or representation of something that cannot be seen.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




Molecules - ✔✔Chemicals that result from atoms linking together.
|| || || || || || || ||




Physical Change - ✔✔A change that affects the appearance but not the chemical makeup of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




a substance.
|| ||




Chemical Change - ✔✔A change that alters the makeup of the elements or molecules of a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




substance.



Phase - ✔✔One of three forms: Solid, liquid, or gas, which every substance is capable of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




attaining.



Diffusion - ✔✔The random motion of molecules from an area of high concentration to an
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




area of low concentration.
|| || ||
