| Specialized plant tissue that transports sugar molecules from the leaves to the rest of the plant. | Phloem |
| A large, divided leaf, usually found on ferns. | Frond |
| Plants that don’t have vessels to transport materials throughout the plant. | Nonvascular Plants |
| The sex-cell (gamete) producing phase of a plant | Gametophyte |
| Specialized plant tissue that transports water and minerals through the plant. | Xylem |
| A small reproductive cell that can develop into an adult without fusing with another cell. | Spore |
| Metabolic centers that contain the green pigment chlorophyll. | Chloroplasts |
| Plants that have vessels for transporting materials throughout the plant. | Vascular Plants |
| A horizontal underground stem. | Rhizome |
| The separation of a parent plant into parts that develop into whole new plants. | Fragmentation |
| The spore-producing phase of a plant. | Sporophyte |
| Plants that produce seeds in flowers. | Angiosperms |
| Perennials have _______ seasons | Many |
| biennials have ________ seasons | two |
| Annuals have ________ season | one |
| Why does moss need to live near the ground? | Moss is a nonvascular plant so it does not have vessels to transport water and minerals up from the ground. It needs to be on the ground to absorb what is needs through osmosis and diffusion. |
| What do all plants need? | Water, air (carbon dioxide), soil, correct temperature, space, and sunlight |
| What do all plants have in common? | The all make their own food through photosynthesis, have cell walls outside their cell membranes and reproduce with a two-part life cycle. (sporophyte and gametophyte) |
| Describe the three different kinds of roots: | A taproot is a large, fleshy, vertical root. Lateral roots branch off the side of a taproot and fibrous roots are a mass of roots that grow horizontally. |
| Describe the two main types of plant stems: | Herbaceous stems are soft, green stems. Woody stems are tough and made out of wood! |
