Question or Term | Answer or Definition |
---|---|
Photosynthesis | Plants are able to take Carbon dioxide, water, & sunlight to produce fuel through a process called |
Glucose | The fuel a plant produces through photosynthesis. |
Autotrophs | Plants that are able to produce their own food supply. |
Heterotrophs | Living things that depend upon other living things as food. |
Chloroplasts | The cells of plants where photosynthesis takes place. |
Cell walls | The part of a plant cell that gives it strength and animal cells do not have. |
Cellulose | Long chains of glucose molecules, that make up the cell wall of plant cells. |
Taxonomists divide all plants into two groups based upon the presence of what type of tissue? | Vascular |
Xylem | Vascular tissue that carries water in the plant. |
Phloem | Vascular tissue that carries food, fuel. or glucose around the plant. |
Divisions | The plant kingdom's first level of classifications, unlike the animal kingdom's, which are phyla. |
Bryophyta | A single division of plants in the non-vascular division. |
The Bryophyta Division is broken down into 3 classes that are: | 1. Class Hepaticae, which are liverworts 2. Class Anthocerotae, which are hornworts 3. Class Musci, which are mosses |
Division Psilophyta | Has fern-like leaves and the most common member is the whisk fern. |
Division Sphenophyta | Includes plants known as horsetails, which have hollow stems and contain silica. |
Division Pterophyta | Includes ferns which have well developed underground rhizomes. |
Division Cycadophyta | Include Cycads and have seeds not enclosed in fruit. |
Division Gingkophyta | Includes one lone member, the gingko tree. |
Division Gneophyto | Includes the welwitschia plant, which has 2 very long leaves and a very short trunk. |
Division Coniferophyta | Include trees such as pines, firs, and spruces, which are referred to as evergreens and their leaves are like needle and they have seeds in cones. |
Division Anthophyta | Plants that have flowers and seeds enclosed in fruit. |
Division Anthophyta is divided into 2 Classes that are: | 1. Monocots, which are plants with one cotyledon, and include corn, grasses, irises, tulips 2. Dicots, which are flowering plants with seeds having 2 cotyledons, and include beans, peas, legumes |
Perfect Flowers | Those flowers that contain both male & female structures present. |
Imperfect Flowers | Those flowers that contain only one sex or reproductive structure. |
Stamen | The male part of a flower. |
The two parts of the Stamen are: | 1. Filament, which is stem-like 2. Anther, which is pollen producing |
Pistil | The female part of a flower. |
The two parts of the Pistil are: | 1. Style, which is stem-like 2. Stigma, which is the sticky top |
Pollen carries 2 types of cells that form | 1. pollen tubes 2. sperm cells |
Pollen Tube | Allows the sperm cells to join the ovules present in the ovary of the flower. |
