Question | Answer |
Cuticle | a waxy,protective layer secreted by cells on to the surface of the plant. |
What cell walls contain which is a chemical compound that plants can make out of sugar. | cellulose |
inside the epidermis, there are several layers of large, loosely packed cells that store food and this food can be used by other cells by the plant | cortex |
inside the cortex theses are tubelike cells that form vessels that carry water and minerals. | xylem cells |
Tissue that moves food from leaves and stems | phloem |
have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances throughout the plant
ex. trees, sunflowers, club moss,ferns | vascular plants |
do NOT have tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances needed
ex. liverwort, moss, hornworts | nonvascular plants |
uses of of seedless vascular plants | landscaping, gardening, burns, fevers, even dandruff |
Held in place by rootlike filaments | rhizoids |
The first plants to grow in new environments | pioneer species |
small pores in the leaf surface | stomata |
guard cells | cells that open and close stomata |
tissue of tubular vessels that move water | Xylem |
tissue that produces new xylem and phloem cells | Cambium |
vascular plants that produce seeds that are not protected by fruit | Gymnosperms |
is a vascular plant that flowers and producers fruits with one or more seeds, such as peaches | angiosperm |
Many plant cells contain red, yellow, or orange pigments that are also used for photosynthesis | carotenoids |
have one cotyledon used for food storage inside their seeds | monocots |
have two cotyledon inside their seeds | dicots |
