Document Summary

Chapter 30: plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants: seed consists of an embryo and its food supply, surrounded by a protective coat. The taproot gives rise to lateral roots, also called branch roots: root hairs projections near the tips of the roots where most absorption of water and minerals occurs. Thin, tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute very little to plant anchorage; their main function is absorption: stem an organ that raises or separates leaves, exposing them to sunlight. Perform most of the metabolic functions of the plant, synthesizing and storing various organic products: collenchyma cells help support young parts of the plant shoot. Elongated cells that have thicker primary cell walls. At maturity they are living and flexible, elongating with the stems and leaves they support: schlerenchyma cells function as supporting elements in the plant, but are much more rigid then collenchyma cells. Secondary walls are think and contain lots of lignin.
