| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. Where do we find mosses | Watery environments |
| 2. What is a gymnosperm | Seeds in a cone |
| 3. Where is pollen produced in a flower | Anther |
| 4. What is the pistil | Produces ovules |
| 5. What is a herbaceous plant | Non-woody stems |
| 6. How do pollen tubes grow | Grow through the style toward the ovule |
| 7. How are xylem and phloem different | Xylem carries water up the plant, phloem carries sugars down the plant |
| 8. How does transpiration work | Water evaporates from the leaves |
| 9. Early plants were most similar to which type of plant | mosses |
| 10. What is coal | Fossilized remains of seedless vascular plants |
| 11. How do sugars move in a plant | From leaves down |
| 12. What is a fleshy fruit and why do plants produce them | Used for seed dispersal after being eaten and discarded |
| 13. How many seed leaves does a dicot have in it | Two |
| 14. Which type of cells are the strongest in a plant | sclerenchyma |
| 15. What is the function of vascular tissue | Transport water and nutrients |
| 16. What is a root cap | Protective cells at the end of the root |
| 17. What is transpiration | Evaporation from leaves, lowers pressure |
| 18. Why is ground tissue so abundant in a plant | Makes up most of the plant cells |
| 19. What is the job of the root hairs in a root system | Absorb water |
| 20. How are leaves different in the desert | Modified into needles |
| 21. Which part of the plant is used for light gathering | Leaves, upper part |
| 22. What is a zygote | Fertilized egg |
| 23. Why are plants colorful | Attract animals |
| 24. What is vegetative propagation | Creation of new plants from part of a parent plant |
| 25. What is a cuticle | Waxy protective covering |
| 26. What is contained within a seed | Seed coat, nutrition, embryo |
| 27. Know a diagram of a flower | |
| 28. What is phloem | Transports sugars |
| 29. What is the stigma | Collects pollen |
| 30. How do guard cells trap or release water | Take water in and swell up to open the stoma |
| 31. What is a stomata | Regulate water loss |
| 32. What is a seed coat | Develops from an ovule and protects the embryo |
| 33. Why do plants need water | Reproduction, chemical reactions, early challenge of moving to land |
| 34. What is an angiosperm | Flowering plant |
| 35. What is pollen | Male gametophyte |
| 36. What is the blade of a leaf | Broad flat portion of the leaf |
| 37. What are the relationships between pollinators and plants | Animals use pollen for food, animals carry pollen from plant to plant for reproduction |
| 38. What is xylem, and phloem, and which processes do they use | Xylem – dead cells to transport water by transpiration-cohesion, Phloem- living cells, carry sugars because of pressures |
| 39. What are the parts of a flower and their functions | Sepals- outer whorl, petals- 2nd whorl, stamen- 3rd whorl, pistil- center |
