Question
Answer
two characteristics of plants   autotrophic eukaryotes  
🗑
photosynthesisthe process by which plants make their own food   photosynthesis  
🗑
the boundary that surrounds a plant cell   cell wall  
🗑
a chemical that makes the cell wall rigid   cellulose  
🗑
the structures in which food is made,photosynthesis   Chloroplasts  
🗑
a sac like storage area where food and water is stored   vacuole  
🗑
groups of similar cells that preform a specific function in an organism   tissues  
🗑
found in the chloroplasts, gives it the green color   chlorophyll  
🗑
for plants to survive on land they must have/ be able to   obtain water and other materials from their surroundings retain water transport materials throughout the plant support their bodies reproduce successfully  
🗑
a waxy waterproof layer that covers the leaves of most plants   cuticle  
🗑
an internal system of tube like structures through which water and food move inside the plant   vascular system  
🗑
_____ occurs when a sperm cell unites with an egg cell   fertilization  
🗑
the fertilized egg   zygote  
🗑
the first stage of a plant when it is able to produce spores, the tiny cells that can grow into new organisms   sporophyte  
🗑
a spore develops into the plant's other stage, called _____ the plant produces two kinds of sex cells in this stage   gametophyte  
🗑
the two kinds of sex cells, perm cells and egg cells   gametes  
🗑
the life cycle of the plant   egg - sporophyte - gameophyte  
🗑
reaction equation of photosythesis   water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = air and glucose (sugar)  
🗑
nonvascular plants   low-growing plants that lack vascular tissue ex: moss, hornworts, liverworts  
🗑
thin root-like structures called _______ anchor the moss and absorb the water and nutrients from the soil   rhizoids  
🗑
Sphagnum moss grows in a type of wetland called a ______   bog  
🗑
Over time,the mosses become compressed into layers and form a blackish- brown material called ______   peat  
🗑
liverworts, hornworts, and mosses   lowgrowing, non-vascular,  
🗑
two characteristics of ferns and their relatives   vascular tissue use spores to reproduce  
🗑
unlike mosses, ferns are   vascular plants, plants that have vascular tissue  
🗑
a ferns leaf   frond  
🗑
fern gametophytes   tiny plants that grow low to the ground  
🗑
all seed plants share two characteristics   the have vascular tissue and use seeds to reproduce  
🗑
most seed plants live_____   on land  
🗑
the vascular tissue through which food moves   Phloem  
🗑
water and nutrients travel in the vascular tissue called _______   xylem  
🗑
structures that contain a young plant inside a protective covering   seeds  
🗑
the three important parts of a seed   embryo, stored food, and a seed coat  
🗑
the young plant that develops from the zygote   embryo  
🗑
in some plants, food is stored inside on or two seed leaves, or _______   cotyledons  
🗑
a seed must have three things to develop into a new plant   water light nutrients  
🗑
the scattering of seeds   seed dispersal  
🗑
the early growth stage of an embryo   germination  
🗑
the most numerous parts on many plants   the leaves  
🗑
the function of leaves   leaves capture the sun's energy and carry out the food-making process of photosyntesis  
🗑
the underside of the leaf has small openings, or pores called _____   stomata they look like tiny mouths  
🗑
how the stomata works   carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata sugar and and oxygen are produced form the carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
the process by which water evaporates from a plant's leaves   transpiration they slow down transpiration by closing the stomata  
🗑
the stem   the stem carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves. The stem also provides support for the plant and holds up the leaves so they are exposed to the sun  
🗑
a layer of cells inside the phloem   the cambium  
🗑
the roots   the roots anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil  
🗑
contains dead cells, protects the root from injury from rocks and other material as the root grows through the soil   root cap  
🗑
a seed plant that produces naked seeds   gymnosperm  
🗑
characteristics of gymnosperms   every gymnosperm produces naked seeds.In addition, many gymnosperms also have needlelike or scalelike leaves, and deep- growing root systems  
🗑
the four groups of gymnosperms   cyads, ginkgos, gneophytes, conifers  
🗑
cyads   live only in tropical areas  
🗑
ginkgo   only one species of ginkgo exists today  
🗑
gnetophytes   live in hot dry deserts in south africa, least likely to be seen  
🗑
conifers   a cone bearing plant, christmas trees, most likely to see, the largest group of gymnosperms,  
🗑
reproductive structures   cones  
🗑
the gymnosperms produce two types of cones   male cones and female cones  
🗑
_____ contains the microscopic cells that will later become sperm cells   pollen (located in the male cone)  
🗑
a structure that contains an egg cell   ovule (located i the female cone)  
🗑
the transfer of pollen from a male reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure   pollenation  
🗑
a plant that produces seeds that are enclosed in a fruit   angiosperms  
🗑
the protective "vessle" where the seeds develop   ovary  
🗑
the ovary is located within an angiosperm's ______   flower  
🗑
Characteristics of angiosperms   fruit flowers  
🗑
colorful structures that you see when flowers open   petals  
🗑
leaflike structures that enclose a flower when it is still a bud   sepals  
🗑
the male reproductive part   stamen  
🗑
female reproductive part   pistil  
🗑
how angiosperms reproduce   pollen falls on stigma sperm cell and egg cell join together in the flower's ovule zygote develops into the embryo part of the seed  
🗑
angiosperms with only one seed leaf   monocots corn wheat rice lilles and tulips flowers have a multiple of three leaves  
🗑
angiosperms with two seed leaves   dicots roses violets dandelions oak maple beans and apples either four or five petals or a multiple of the two  
🗑
a plant's growth response toward or away from a stimulus   tropism  
🗑
a chemical that affects how the plant grows and develops   hormones  
🗑
one important hormone that speeds up the rate at which a plants cells grow   auxin  
🗑
