Cells, Seeds, Germination, Gymnosperm, and Angiosperm Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| vascular plant that uses seeds to reproduce, but the seeds are not surrounded by a protective container | gymnosperm |
| very short, nonvascular plant that does not have true stems, roots or leaves | moss |
| group of flowering plants that reproduce with seeds that are protected within a fruit | angiosperm |
| the tiny plant that forms in the seed | embryo |
| Movement of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organ | pollination |
| For pollination to take place, polen grains must get to the _______________ of a flower | pistil |
| What types of plants have flowers, roots, leaves, and stems? | angiosperms |
| Where do new seeds begin to form? | pistil |
| What type of fruit is a tomato? (bonus) | berry |
| What type of fruit are strawberries and raspberries? (bonus) | aggregates |

| these nonvascular plants must live in very moist areas | moss |
| part of the seed that surrounds the embryo and provides food for it while it germinates | cotyledon |
| Which type of gymnosperm cones hold the seeds? | female cones |
| special plant tissues that carry water from the roots to the leaves | xylem |
| special plant tissues that carry food from the leaves to the rest of the plant | phloem |
| type of plant that must absorb water and nutrients directly from the soil or air and pass it from cell to cell | nonvascular plants |
| What three things to plants absolutely need in order to germinate? | water, oxygen, warmth |
