| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A _____ is a multi-cellular organism, with Eukaryotic cells, that produces food from sunlight and inorganic matter by photosynthesis. | Plant |
| Organisms that use an outside energy source, such as the sun, to make their own food are called ____ | Producers |
| _____ are features either structural or behavioral that allow an organism to live successfully and reproduce. | Adaptations |
| What are some reasons plants use adaptations? | Protection, Support, Transporting materials, Reproduction |
| A waxy, protective layer on some plants leaves, stems, and flowers to prevent them from drying out is called the ____ | Cuticle |
| _____ is an organice compound made of chains of glucose molecules. | Cellulose |
| ____ is composed of tubelike cells that transport water and nutrients in some plants. | Vascular Tissue |
| Name the two groups of plants based on how material is transported. | Vascular or Nonvascular |
| ____ plants are just a few cells thick and are able to absorb water directly through their cells. | Non Vascular |
| Give an example of a non-vascular plant ______ | Mosses and Liver Warts |
| _____ are structures that anchor a non-vasular seedless plant to a surface. | Rhizoids |
| ____ plants are more complex plants. They have systems in which water and nutrients are transported through the plant in tube-like vessels. | Vascular |
| Give an example of a vascular plant, ______ | Trees, bushes, and flowers |
| _____ are the leaves of a fern | Fronds |
| Name two classification groups of plants based on how they reproduce. | Seed plants or Seedless |
| ______plants do not come from seeds | Seedless |
| _______plants do Not have roots, stems, or leaves. They DO have root-like fibers, stalks, and leaf-like green growth. They do not grow from seeds they grow from spores. | Seedless Non-Vascular Plants |
| _____ plants have vascular tissue; produce spores rather than seeds; and grow bigger and thicker | Seedless Vascular Plants |
| ______ plants HAVE root, stems, leaves, and vascular tissue. They grow from seeds. | Seed |
| Two types of vascular tissue are | Xylem and Phloem |
| ______ is a layer of tissue that produces new vascular tissue and grows between xylem and Phloem. | Cambium |
| ____ carries water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the stem and leaves. | Xylem |
| ____ carries dissolved sugars through out a plant. | Phloem |
| _____ store water and food,anchor the plant, transport water/food to other plant parts, and allow water to enter. | Roots |
| _____ Support the above ground part of the plant, allow movement of material from roots to leaves,store food, and are either herbaceous or woody. | Stems |
| ____ make food for the plant, protect the plant from drying out, and has 3 adaptations for living on land;cuticle, stomata, and guard cells | Leaves |
| ____ are small openings in the epidermis that allow carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapor to enter or leave the plant. | Stomata |
| Name the two major groups of SEED plants | Gymnosperms and Angiosperms |
| _____ are vasuclar plants that produce seeds on the scales of female cones. They DO NOT produce flowers, leaves are mostly needle like or scale-like; most are evergreen plants that keep their leaves for several years. | Gymnosperms |
| Give 2 examples of gymnosperms | Pines and Firs |
| _____ are vascular plants that produce flowers and fruit (not always edible fruit, but fruit to protect the seed) | Angiosperm |
| Give 2 examples of angiosperms | Cherry Tree and Hibiscus |
| The _____ is the male reproductive organ of the flower and pollen is produced here | Stamen |
| The _____ is the female reproductive organ of the flower | Pistil |
| The _____ of a flower are usually brightly colored to help attract insects and animals to help with pollination | Petal |
| The ____ is important to the flower, because it protects the bud before the flower opens | Sepal |
