Question | Answer |
non vascular plants | plants without vascular tissues |
xylem | vessels that carry water and dissolved substances from the roots to the other parts of the plant |
Rhizoids | root like structures used for anchoring not absorption |
cuticle | nonliving waxy covering/waterproof |
palisade layer | tightly packed cells filled with chloroplasts;where most photosynthesis happens |
spongy layer | irregularly shaped cells;loosely fitting together;allows for air to move through the leaf |
vascular bundle | contains the xylem and the phloem within the leaf |
xylem | carries the water,minerals,etc to the leaf from the roots. |
Phloem | carries the glucose solution to the plant for use or storage |
Guard cells | control the openings through which gases come/go |
Stoma | openings through which gases travels |
annuals | plants go through life cycle in one season |
biennials | plants that live for 2 growing season |
perennials | plants that live for many growing seasons |
Monocot | parallel venation
Stem has scattered vascular bundles
one cotyledon
roots is fibrous
flower parts in multiple of 3
palmate pinnate |
Dicot | Flower has multiples of 4 or 5
stem has circular pattern
leaf has netted venation
two cotyledon seeds |
cellulose | holds plant upright |
gymnosperms | naked seed
non flowering,non fruit
reproduce using cone |
Angiosperms | flowering fruit bearing
parts develop into fruit or nuts that contain seeds |
seedless non vascular | mosses,liverworts,hornworts |
seedless vascular plants | ferns,club mosses,horsetails |
