| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| eukaryotic | has nuclues with membrane bound organelles, everything except bacteria |
| multicelluar | made of more than one cell |
| photosynthesis | process that plants use to make glucose(sugar) from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide |
| What do plants give us? | oxygen, food, medicine, dyes, nitrogen |
| chloroplast | part of the plant cell that traps the sunlight and converts it into usable energy |
| stomata | found on the underside of the leaf, allows for gas exchange |
| guard cells | cells that surround the stomata, regulate the opening and closing of the stomata. |
| petiole | 'stem' of the leaf that connects the blade of the leaf to the stem of the plant |
| blade | largest portion of the leaf that contains veins and captures sunlight for photosynthesis |
| flower | reproductive organ for angiosperms(flower producing plants), fruits form if flower is fertilized. |
| fruit | holds the seeds, develops from the flower |
| veins | carries food and water through the blade of the leaf |
| cuticle | waxy covering over the plant that prevents water loss |
| xylem | dead cells that carry water and minerals |
| phloem | living cells that carry glucose |
| 3 parts of the leaf | blade, petiole, veins |
| root | absorbs nutrients, location of nitrogen fixation, anchors/supports plant |
| gymnosperm | plant the reproduces using a cone (spruce, evergreens, pine trees, etc.) |
| angiosperm | plant that uses a flower for reproduction (dogwood, daisy, apple tree, etc.) |
| vascualar plant | plant that has xylem and phloem |
| non-vascular plant | plant that does not have xylem and phloem (like moss) |
| non-seed plants | plants that use spores to reproduce like a fern. |
