PLANTS & FUNGI
SLHS PLANT & FUNGI UNIT
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Fungus with a symbiotic (mutualism)relationship with algae | lichen |
| Multicellular, reproduces by spores, decomposer, used in food like cheese | mold |
| Single celled fungi, reproduces by budding, used in baking breads and making alcohol | yeast |
| Round, multicellular, reproduces by spores, decomposer | puff balls |
| Multicellular, reproduces by spores, decomposer, some provide food for animals | mushrooms |
| Takes water up from the roots into the plant | xylem |
| Takes glucose to the roots to be stored as starch | phloem |
| Plants lose up to 90% of the water taken up rom the roots, this is called | transpiration |
| An extension of a single epidermal cell that increases the surface area of root | root hairs |
| Site of starch storage in roots | cortex |
| Provides support for the parts of plants that are above ground | stem |
| Anchors plant, absorbs water and minerals, food is also stored here | roots |
| Outermost cell layer of root | epidermis |
| Single layer of cells that forms a waterproof barrier around the vascular tissue of the root | endodermis |
| Traps light energy for photosynthesis | leaf |
| Waxy coat on top of the outer epidermis | cuticle |
| Layer of columnar cells just below the epidermis, contain large numbers of chlorophyll, most photosynthesis occurs here | palisade mesophyll |
| Loosely packed irregular shaped cells surrounded by air space | spongy mesophyll |
| Usually found on the underside of the leaf, contains large numbers of stomata | lower epidermis |
| Openings which allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to come in and out of leaf (open during the day & closed at night) | stomata |
| Surround the stomata and control the size of the opening, prevent the plant from drying out. | guard cells |
| Simple reproductive structure used by mosses and ferns | spore |
| Composition of a cell wall in a fungus | chitin |
| The male part of the flower that produces and contains the pollen | anther |
| Division of plants that mosses belong to | byrophyta |
| Division of plants that flowering plants belong to | anthrophyta |
| Structure in a flower that turns into the fruit | ovary |
| The sweet tasting liquid that a flower produces to attract a pollinator. | nectar |
| Lowest part of the flower that helps to protect it and attract a pollinator | sepals |
| Female reproductive structure in a flower made up of the ovary and stigma | pistil |
| The first plant to develop a vascular system and reproduces by spores | ferns |
| Division of plants that ferns belong to | pterophyta |
| Colorful part of the flower used for protection and to attract a pollinator | petals |
| Heterotroph that feeds off of decaying matter | decomposer |
| Male reproductive structure made up of the anther and filament | stamen |
| Reproduces by "naked" seeds within a cone | conifers |
| Division of plants containing conifers | coniferophyta |
