Model Answer Agricultural Botany/ Physiology 101 ABT English Program Drawing is requested- Exam in Two Pages Your answer must be supported by drawings as you can Answer the following questions Question 1:
B- Define two of the following scientific terms:a- Plasmodesma(ta) b- Abscission zone c- Sap wood

(10 marks)

A- Plasmodesma(ta): cytoplasmic channels lined with plasma membrane that

connect the protoplasts of adjacent cells across the cell wall.

B-

Abscission zone 1. Special region of petiole where the petiole attaches to the stem
2. Mostly parenchyma cells in this region 3. Lignified cells are either smaller or lack lignin or both 4. The elongated vascular cells tend to be shorter a. Fibers are usually absent b. Thus an area of weakness

C- Sap wood:
o The new formed secondary xylem (1-2 years old) in tree trunk Still functioning in water conductivity Found mainly out side heart wood Characterized by light colors as a result of lacking pigments Weak and fragile Less valuable in wood industry

B- Complete with the suitable answer

5. 6. 7. Pits are constructed in the ___. The endodermis functions in ____. The sclereids functions in ____. a) endoplasmic reticulum; b) secondary wall; c) cell vacuole; d) nuclear pore a) protein synthesis; b) water pathway; c) DNA replication.

a) water conductivity; b) starch storage; c) photosynthesis; d) supporting 8. Which of these tissues considered a simple? a) xylem; b) phloem ; c) periderm; d) epidermis; c) all of these. 5- Vessels are characterized by ____. a) sieve plate; b) pointed end walls; c) perforation plate; d) bordered pits

Question 2: 4- Complete the following sentences

(20 marks) (10 marks)

a.The parenchyma cells that have a large intercellular space called aernchyma while parenchyma that have chloroplast called Chloroplast b. Types of collenchyma cells are Angular, lamellar and lacunate c.Lateral meristems are the Periderm and Vascular cambium d. Conductive elements in xylem tissue are Tracheids and Vessels e.Primary meristems are Protoderm ,Ground meristem and Procambium f. Vascular bundles types in stems are Collateral, bi-collateral and Centric g. The cells of cambium are often termed initials which are Fusiform and Ray initials h. Lateral roots almost are of endogenous origin as they arise from The pericycle 5-

Answer two from the following questions

(10

marks)
a.Give complete comparisons between both tracheids and vessel elements in xylem?
Key points
Evolution Shape Pits End wall Water hydraulic efficiency Cell to cell water path

Tracheids
Gyminosperm Elongated with pointed ends Bordered pits Pointed with no end walls Less efficent Water path through pits

Vessels
Angiosperm Short with transverse walls Simple pits With perforation plates More efficient Water path through perforation plates

3- The N functions in plant are: It is a part of all living cells and is necessary part all proteins, enzymes and metabolic processes involved in the synthesis and transfer of energy- it is a part of chlorophyll, the green pigment of the plant help plants with rapid growth, increasing seed and fruit. The iron functions are: helps in the building of protein, chlorophyll, different enzymes activities which relate with reduction and oxidation
