|---|---|
| cambium | vascular tissue that produces xylem & phloem cells a plants grows |
| stomata | small openings in the surface of most plant leaves that allow carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen to enter and exit flowering plant that produces a fruit containing 1 or more seeds; monocots & dicots |
| cuticle | waxy, protective layer that covers the stems, leaves, & helps prevent water loss |
| xylem | vascular tissue that former hollow vessels that transport substances, other than sugar, throughout the plant |
| phloem | vascular tissue that forms, that transport dissolved sugar throughout a plant |
| monocot | an angiosperm with 1 cotyledon inside its seed, flower parts in multiples of 3, and vascular bundles spread throughout the stem |
| dicot | an angiosperm with 2 cotyledons in multiples of 4 & 5 and vascular bundles of rings |
| vascular plant | plant with tube-like structures that move minerals, water, and other substances throghout the plant |
| non-vascular plant | plant that absorbed water and other substances directly through its call walls instead of through tube-like structures |
| guard cells | pairs of cells that surround the stomata and control their opening and closing |
| angiosperm | a flowering plant that produces a fruit containing 1 or more seeds; monocots & dicots |
| gymnosperm | vascular plants that do not flower, generally have needle-like or scale-like leaves & produce seeds that are not protected by fruit |
| celluose | chemical compound made out of sugar; forms tangled fibers in the cell walls of many plants & provides structure and support |
| pioneer species | the 1st organisms to grow in new or disturbed areas; break down rock and build up decaying plant material so other plants can grow |
| rhizoid | thread-like structures that anchor nonvascular plants to the ground |
