plant vocabulary
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| in which biome would you expect to find broad-leafed plants? why? | Rain forest because it maximizes sunlight absorption |
| in which biome would you expect to find plants with narrow leaves (or no leaves at all)? why? | desert because it will minimize water loss |
| what are stomatas, and what is their function? | openings in the leaf to let water evaporate and gas exchange and on the bottom on the plant |
| which cells control the opening and closing of stomatas? | guard cells |
| what is transpiration? | evaporation of water out of leaf |
| what are the forces that carry water up the stem of the plant? | capillary action, adhesion, and cohesion |
| define capillary action | a phenomenon associated with surface tension and resulting in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries. up a tube called zylems |
| describe cohesion | water molecules are stuck together |
| describe adhesion | water molecules stick to the wall or side of the tube |
| compare paremchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells | paremchyma: storage and its common collenchyma: provides strength, stronger sclerenchyma: supports, strongest, last only a little while |
| which type of cell makes up most of the fruits and vegetables we eat? | paremchyma |
| which type of cell is the strongest | sclerenchyma |
| which type of cell provides storage and carries out photosynthesis? | parenchyma |
| which type of cell makes up the bark of trees? | sclerenchyma |
| in which tissue layer are the stomata found? | epidermis in the dermal tissue |
| xylem and phloem are types of what tissue? | vascular |
| what is vascular tissue? | is a complex tissue found in vascular plants |
| mosses are examples of what plants? | Non vascular |
| where is meristematic tissue found? | near the tips of roots and shoots |
| list the levels of cellular organization (starting with cells) | cells, tissues, organ, organ systems, organisms |
| what are the functions of the root? | anchor, water absorption,store food |
| differentiate between xylem and phloem | xylem moves it up the plants and carries water and minerals. phloem moves down the plant and carries the sugar from the leaves |
| tell me the path of water flow during transpiraton | from root to zylem to leaves |
| describe a non-vascular plant | not very large, near a water source, absorbs water |
| function of a leaf | photosynthetic sunlight collection structure |
| function of a flower | structure that houses reproductive organs for pollination |
| function of a seed | embryonic plant ready for dispersal |
| function of a root | hydration collection structure |
| function of a trunk of a tree | structure that houses xylem transport systems |
| what is pollen? | plant sperm |
| define haploid | having a sigle set of chromosomes |
| define diploid | having 2 sets of chromosomes |
| define meiosis | reproductive division, which oroduces four haploid reproductive cells |
| define mitosis | cell division, which produces two genetically identical cells |
| when you eat a piece of fruit, what reproductive part are you technically eating? | the ovary of the plant |
