BIO 123 REVIEW EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
100% CORRECT
Nonvascular plant - ANSWER no special conducting tissues that are gonna give off
materials.
Shoot system - ANSWER stem, leaves and flower petals
consists of stem and leaves
usually above the ground surface
acquires sunlight and CO2
Root system - ANSWER soil and roots (cells)
usually below the ground surface
absorbs water and minerals
anchors a plant in the soil
stores food-carbohydrates
Root hairs - ANS absorption of water and minerals usually take place through the root
hairs developed around the root tips.
finger-like extension of epidermal cells, increase the absorptive surface or the root
Leaves - ANS the leaf is the principle photosynthetic organ
compose of blade and petiole (attaches the leaf to the stem)
Simple leaf - ANS single, undivided blade
,Compound leaf - ANS the blade composed of several leaflets
Monocot ANSWER 1 cotyledon Flowers parts that come in multiples of 3 a core of

parts of the plant or growing structures
along with each is a non-conducting cell called a companion cell
alive at maturity
(Phloem) Sugar conducting cells - ANSWER sleeve tube elements
Ground tissue - ANSWER any tissue in the plant that's not dermal or vascular
function in storage, photosynthesis, support and short distance transport
Pith - ANSWER internal to the vascular tissue
Cortex- ANSWER external to vascular tissue
Meristems- ANSWER continuous growth in plants is possible because of this,
undifferentiated tissues composed of dividing cells
Types of meristems- ANSWER apical and lateral
Apical meristem- ANSWER primary growth
at the tips of shoots and roots
Lateral meristem- ANSWER secondary growth, which allows the stems and roots of
woody plants to grow in circumference
