| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a durable polymer that covers exposed zygotes of charophyte algae and forms walls of plant spores preventing them from drying out | Sporopollenin |
| in organisms (plants and some algae) that have alternation of generations, the multicellular haploid form that produces haploid gametes by mitosis; unite and develop into sporophytes | Gametophyte |
| in organisms (plants and some algae) that have alternation of generation the multicellular diploid form that results from the union of gametes; the sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis that develop into gametophytes | Sporophyte |
| in thelife cycle of plant or algae undergoing alteration of generations a haploid cell produced in the sporophyte by meiosis; a spore can divide by mitosis to develop into a multicellular haploid individual the gametophyte without fusing with another cell | Spores |
| alternate name for land plants that refers to their shared derives trait of multicellular dependent embryos | Embryohpytes |
| a multicellular organ in fungi and plants in which meiosis occurs and haploid cells develop | Sporangia |
| embryonic plant tissue in the tips of roots and buds of shoots; the dividing cells of an apical meristem enable the plant to grow in length | Apical meristems |
| a waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that prevents desiccation in terrestrial plants | Cuticle |
| a structural polysaccharide consisting of amino sugar monomers found in many fungal cell walls and in the exoskeletons of all anthropods | chitin |
| - single celled fungus; reproduce asexually by binary fission or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell; many fungal species can grow noth as yeasts and as a network of filaments; relatively few species grow only as ... | Yeasts |
| one of many connected filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus | Hypha |
| a microscopic pore surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment and the interior | Stoma |
| the densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus | Mycelium |
| in certain symbiotic fungi, a specialized hypha that can penetrate the tissues of host organsims | Haustorium |
| a mutualistic association of plant roots an fungus | Mycorrhizae |
| a symbiotic fungus that forms sheaths of hyphae over the surface of plant roots and also grows into extracellular spaces of the root cortex | Ectomycorrhizal fungi |
| a symbiotic fungus whose hyphae grow through the cell call of plant roots and extend into the root cell | Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi |
| in fungi, the fusion of the cytoplasm of cells from two individuals occurs as one stage of sexual reproduction, followed later by karyogamy | Plasmogamy |
| in fungi the fusion of haploid nuclei contributed by the two parents; occurs as one stage of sexual reproduction preceded by plasmogamy | Karyogamy |
| member of a group of unicellular amoeboid protists that are more closely related to fungi than they are to other protists | Nucleariid |
| - plant tissue consistin of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body | Vascular tissue |
| a plant with vascular tissue; include all living plant species except liverworts, mosses and hornworts | Vascular plant |
| a long tubular single cell or filament of cells that anchors bryophytes to the ground; unlike roots, … are not composed of tissues lack specialized conducting cells and do not play a primary role in water and mineral absorption | Rhizoid |
| - a informal name for a moss liverwort or hornwort; a nonvascular plant that lives on land but lacks some of the terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants | Byrophyte |
| an informal name for a member of the phylem Lycophyta a group of seedless vascular platns that includes club mosses and their relatives | Lycophytes |
| - an informal name for a member of the phylum Monilophyta, a group of seedless vascular plants that includes ferns and their relatives | Monilophytes |
| an informal name for a plant that has vascular tissue but lacks seeds; form a paraphyletic group that includes the phyla Lycophyta and Monilophyta | Seedless vascular plant |
| vascular plant tissue consisting mainly of tubular dead cells that conduct most of the water an minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant | Xylem |
| a long tapered water conducting cell found in xylem of nearly all vascular plants; functioning ones are no longer living | Tracheids |
| a strong polymer embedded in the cellulose matrix of the secondary cell walls of vascular plants that provides structural support in terrestrial species | Lignin |
| - vascular plant tissue consisting of living cells arranged into elongated tubes that transport sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant | Phloem |
| organs in vascular plants that anchor the plant and enables it to absorb water and minerals from soil | Roots |
| the main photosynthetic organs of vascular plants | Leaves |
| an adaptation of some terrestrial plants consisting of an embryo packaged along with a store of food within a protective coat | Seed |
| a vascular plant that bears naked seeds- seeds no enclosed by protective chambers | Gymnosperms |
| a flowering plant which forms seeds inside a protective chamber called an ovary | Angiosperms |
| layer of sporophyte tissue that contributes to the structure of an ovule of a seed plant | Integument |
| - a structure that develops within the ovary of a seed plant and contains the female gametophyte | Ovule |
| in seed plants a structure consisting of the male gametophyte enclosed within a pollen wall | Pollen grain |
| the transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules a process required for fertilization | Pollination |
| in an angiosperm signal a specialized shoot with up to four sets of modified leaves, bearing structures that function in sexual reproduction | Flower |
| a modified leaf in angiosperms that helps enclose and protect a flower bud before it opens | Sepal |
| - a modified leaf of a flowering plant, petals are often colorful parts of a flower that advertise it to insects and other pollinators | Petal |
| the pollen producing reproductive organ of a flower consisting of anther and a filament | Stamens |
| the ovule- producing reproductive organ of a flower consisting of the stigma style and ovary | carpel |
| a mature ovary of a flower, protects dormant seeds and often aids in their dispersal | fruit |
| in flowers the portion of a carpel in which egg containing ovules develop | ovary |
| a mutualistic association between a fungus and a photosynthetic alga or cyan bacterium | lichen |
| a fungus that lives inside a leaf or other plant part without causing harm to the plant | Endophytes |
