BIOL 112 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Meristem, Vascular Cambium, Vascular Plant
Document Summary
Where do aspirin (salicin), codeine, taxol, steroids and morphine come from? (table 31. 1, p. What is primary growth and where does it occur? as cells in apical meristem divide, enlarge, and differentiate, root an shoot tips extend the plant body outward. allowing it to explore new space. Apical meristems, the tip of each root and shoot. What types of compounds do plants make that help them to defend against herbivores? trichomes make and provide barbs, or store toxic compounds that thwart herbivores. What major plant tissue does each make? protoderm- gives rise to dermal (skin) tissue system. Ground meristem- gives rise to the ground tissue system. Procambium- gives rise to the vascular tissue system. Know the 3 plant tissue systems, the cells they are composed of, the functions of those cells, and any special traits that they may have. In roots the dermal tissue includes root haris and it functions primarily in water and nutrient absorption.
