Question | Answer |
---|---|
angiosperms | type of vascular flowering plant |
bryophytes | group of plants that do not have transport tubes |
conifers | trees with cones and needle like leaves |
cotyledon | leaflike structure inside a seed that contains food for developing plant |
cycads | a type of gymnosperm (woody land plant) that grow in tropical areas and look like palm trees) |
deciduous trees | a type of tree |
dicot | flowering plant with two cotyledons or seed leaves in its seeds |
embryo | undeveloped plant |
ferns | oldest group of traecheophytes, they have tubes to carry water and are spore plants. |
ginkos | a gymnosperm (land plant with uncovered seeds that has fan shaped leaves) |
gymnosperms | type of land plant that has uncovered seeds |
monocot | flowering plant with one cotyledon or seed leaf in its seeds |
parts of a seed | seed coat, endosperm, embryo, and cotyledon |
rhizomes | horizontal underground stem |
seed coat | outer covering of seed that protects embryo |
seeds | structure that contains a tiny living plant and food for its growth; a reproductive cell |
tracheophytes | group of plants that have transport tubes |
anther | part of the stamen that produces pollen |
flower | the organ of reselection |
fruit | mature ovary and its seeds |
ovary | the bottom part of the pistil that reproduce seeds |
ovule | part of the ovule that develops into a seed after fertilization |
parts of a flower | sepal, petal, stamen, pistil |
phloem | tissue that carries food from the leads to other parts of a plant |
pistil | female reproductive organ in FLOWER |
sepals | special kind of leaf that protects the flower bud |
stamen | male reproductive organ in a flower |
true roots, leaves and stems | These are the vegetable parts of plants |
vegetable parts of plant | the leaves, stems and roots are the vegetable part of plant |
xylem | tissue that carries water up from the roots. |
photosynthesis | food-making process in plants |
epidermis | outer layer of leaf |
mesophyll | middle layer of leaf |
bulb | underground stem with fleshy leaves |
stomata | tiny openings in a leaf's surface |
petal | colorful leaf of flower |
vein | tube that contains xylem and phloem |
pollination | process by which pollen moves from a stamen to a pistil |
stigma | top part of pistil |
stimulus | anything that causes a response |
chlorophyll | green pigment used by plants to make food |
fertilization | joining of male and female sex cells |
hilum | mark on a seed coat where the seed was attached |
tropism | plant response to stimulus |
three types of bryophytes | mosses, liverworts, hornworts |
three types of tracheophyts | ferns, gymnosperms (, conifer (pine trees) |
parts of fern | leaflet, frond, rhizome, roots, fiddlehead |
taproot | one large root and many small, thin roots |
fibrous root | root system made up of many thin, branched roots |
oxygen | a byproduct of photosynthesis - plants give it off |
filament | stalk of an anther |
vegatative propogation | a type of asexual reproduction where new plants are grown from roots and stems |
genetically identical | new plants grown with vegatative propogation |
stimulus for plants (3) | light water gravity |
thigmortropism | plant response to touch (grows around it) |
phototropism | plant response to light (grows toward it) |
hydrotropism | plant response to water (grows toward it) |
gravitropism | plant response to gravity (grows down) |
