A
fiber
is an irregularly shaped cell that gives compression strength.
Aerobic Respiration
utilizes agents with less oxidizing power such as sulfur, sulfate, nitrate, and fumarate.
Prokaryotes
lack a membrane-bound nucleus such as bacteria and some eukaryotes such as yeast.
Obligate Anaerobes
can aspire using only anaerobic compounds and die in the presence of oxygen.
‘Facultative Anaerobic
organisms make ATP through aerobic respiration.
Fermentation
is the process by which sugar molecules are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide or into organic acids.
Stem
is a usually an erect cylindrical support system of the plant.
Stem
can be a stalk or main trunk of a plant.
Stem functions
for support and conduction of food, mineral, and water.
Dermal Tissue
is a young stem's outer protective layer.
Nodes
are structures on a stem where buds, leaves, and branches arise.
Internode
is the distance between two nodes.
Monocot stem
has a rind as its outer covering.
Dermal Tissues
serves as the outer protective covering of the stem.
Ground Tissues
are the ground tissues of the stem.
Pericycle
serves as the outermost boundary of the stele.
Sclerenchyma
contains sclerenchyma cells which have thick secondary walls and die at maturity.
Parenchyma
is composed of parenchyma cells which are large, thin walled, and undifferentiated.
Pith
or
Medulla
is a tissue that is composed of soft, spongy parenchyma cells.
Procambium
is the primary meristem.
Endodermis
is the innermost layer of the cortex.
Vascular tissues provide
structural support
in plants.
Meristem
is the tissue which contain meristematic cells.
Fibers
are long and narrow cells that provide tensile strength without compromising flexibility.
Periderm
is a multi-layered tissue that replaces the epidermis.
Vascular tissues
are responsible for conducting food, minerals, and water throughout the plant.
The
epidermis
is composed of a single layer of tightly packed cells.
Collenchyma
is composed of collenchyma cells, which have wall thickening, are alive at maturity and are part of vascular bundles.
Sclereid
is a type of sclerenchyma cell.
Stele
is the center of the stem.
