Flowering Plants

• What are the 2 divisions?

  Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons
• Another name for Dicotyledons?

  Eudicotyledons
• Monocot:

  How many cotyledons? 1

  Veins are? Parallel

  Vascular bundles arrangement? Complex

  Flower arrangement? 3s (petals)

  Some examples of monocots? Grass, palm trees, lillies
• Dicots:

  How many cotyledon? 2

  Veins are? Branching

  Vascular bundles arrangement? Ring

  Flower arrangement? in 4s or 5s (petals)

  Examples of dicots? Trees, woody shrubs
• Primary growth occurs in?

  Monocots and dicots
• How are new cells produced?

  Mitosis

  Only small part of plant has the capacity to produce new cells. These are known as?

  Meristems
• Where are the apical meristem established?

  in the embryo
• The apical meristem is responsible for what type of growth?

  Longitudinal
• The 2 types of apical meristems?

  Shoot apical meristems

  Root apical meristems
• Root apical meristem is responsible for future root growth
• The shoot apical meristem is responsible for the growth of leaves and flowers
• Most monocots have apical meristems just at the? Apex (e.g. palm trees)

  However, some grasses have?

  intercalary meristems

  These are located at the plant's? Nodes

  This allows for? Regrowth after the plant is cut
• Meristems produce what cells?

  Basic cells

  They then differentiate into cells specialised for function
• Secondary Growth occurs in?

  Dicots only
• Secondary Growth:

  evident by? Woody plants

  Increases? Girth

  Provides? Wood and bark

  which acts as? Support and protection

  Where does secondary growth come from? Lateral meristems
• What are the 2 types of lateral meristems?

  Vascular cambium

  Cork cambium
• Vascular Cambium:

  Produces? Secondary xylem and phloem vessels

  Wood is produced by the? Secondary xylem

  Inner bark is produced by the? Secondary phloem
• Cork Cambium:

  Produces? outer bark

  What does this replace? The epidermis
• The lateral meristems are responsible for what type of growth?

  Horizontal

  Lateral meristems also increase what? girth
• What meristem is responsible for leaves or branches?

  Axillary meristems

  Can occur in?

  monocots and dicots

  Meaning they are a part of what growth?

  Primary and secondary
