Links This site has it all! As you make
"connections" between boldface terms and images in the lab
manual for some outstanding images that are well labelled. You need to know about lenticels (unfortunately it's
not in Mader's textbook/lab manual). And from Hawaii... great shots and descriptions of Ground
Tissue. Make sure you gaze upon the image of the Casparian Strip.

Transport in Angiosperms: Transpiration What does TACT stand for? Those little openings he's talking about are called stomata.. Know them! I like this whole lecture... I'm holding you responsible for it :-)
The Role of Xylem Tissue and Stomata What are the "pits" in xylem cells for? Know your stomatal anatomy! What do guard cells do?
Plant Transport: Absorption and Lateral Transport in Roots Know the following:
See how root hairs and mycorrhiza increase surface area? Follow the flow of water through and around cortex cells and then ALL of the water goes THROUGH the endodermal cells.
Phloem: The Movement of Sap What's phloem? Is it alive or dead? What is moving through phloem? What's bulk flow? What's translocation? Be able to identify the "source" and "sink" when sugar is being transported in a plant. |
