| Plants are able to survive on land because they have _____________ to absorb water and nutrients from the ground. | roots |
| Plants are able to survive on land because they have a _____________ cuticle to prevent water loss. | waxy (wax is a lipid, they don't mix with water) |
| Plants are able to survive on land because they have ways to disperse their _____________ by wind, water, and other organisms. | seeds or spores |
| The plant life cycle is called the - | Alternation of Generations |
| A gametophyte produces | gametes (sex cells) |
| A sporophyte produces | spores |
| Mosses are seedless plants that lack ____________ tissue, thus they are very small. | vascular |
| _____________ and their relatives are seedless plants that can have vascular tissue. | Ferns |
| Type of seed-producing plant that does NOT produce a fruit. | Gymnosperms (naked seed) |
| Type of seed-producing plant that produces fruit. | Angiosperms (covered seed) |
| The transfer of pollen grains from the stamen to the pistil. | Pollination |
| The fusion of a plant's sperm with another plant's egg. | Fertilization |
| Type of angiosperm that produces 1 seed leaf, and has petals in multiples of 3. | Monocot |
| Type of angiosperm that produces 2 seed leaves, and has petals in multiples of 4 or 5. | Dicot |
| The reproductive structure of an angiosperm. | Flower |
| Male part of the flower. | Stamen (staMEN) |
| Female part of the flower. | Pistil |
| Part of the stamen that produces the pollen; it's supported by the filament. | Anther |
| Part of the pistil that is sticky so it can "catch" pollen; it's supported by the style. | Stigma |
| Small leaves located directly below the flower. | Sepals |
| When a plant pollinates itself. | Self-fertilization |
| When a plant pollinates another plant. | Cross-fertilization |
| The primary function of a fruit is to disperse _____________. | seeds |
| Outer, protective layer of the plant. | Dermal Tissue |
| Tubelike structures inside a plant to transport water and nutrients. | Vascular Tissue |
| Part of a plant that surrounds and supports the vascular tissue. | Ground Tissue |
| ___________ are pores in the leaves of plants that allow gases in or out. | Stomata |
| Type of cell that can open or close a stomata. | Guard cell |
| Part of a plant that anchors it to the ground, absorbs nutrients and water from the ground, and sometimes stores nutrients underground. | Roots |
| Part of a plant that supports branches and leaves, and houses the vascular tissue. | Stems |
| Photosynthetic organs of a plant. | Leaves |
| Site of plant growth and new cell formation. | Meristems |
| Process by which a plant embryo begins to grow. | Germination |
| Vertical plant growth. | Primary growth |
| Horizontal plant growth. | Secondary growth |
