QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉ Modular growth Answer: New units or modules are added to the
existing plant. Each module is relatively independent of other modules
and may have a distinct function, yet they all function together to make
an integrated whole
◉ What structures make up vascular tissue? Answer: Xylem, phloem,
and pericycle
◉ What structures make up ground tissue? Answer: Cortex, endodermis,
mesophyll
◉ What structures make up dermal tissue? Answer: Epidermis, guard
cells, cuticle
◉ Epidermis Answer: Outer covering for whole plant
◉ Cortex Answer: Stores starch and helps move water and minerals to
the center of root
◉ Pericycle Answer: In root, layer just inside endodermis, can become
meristematic and begin
, dividing to form lateral roots
◉ Endodermis Answer: in roots, sandwiched between cortex and stele,
acts as a selective barrier the regulates the passage of substances from
soil to vascular
tissue
◉ Casperian Strip Answer: Waterproof strip that surrounds each
endodermal cell in a root and involved in the oneway passage of
materials into the vascular cylinder in plant roots.
◉ Mesophyll Answer: The ground tissue of a leaf, sandwiched between
the upper and lower epidermis and specialized for photosynthesis.
◉ What are the two plant organ systems? Answer: Root system and
shoot system
◉ Pith Answer:
◉ Cross section of a stem Answer:
◉ Cross section of a leaf Answer:
◉ Zone of cell division Answer: where mitosis occurs resulting in
