| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sepal | a leaf-like part of a flower that forms its outermost layer. Their primary job is to tightly wrap around and protect the developing flower bud before it blooms. |
| Petal | the often brightly colored, leaf-like part of a flower that surrounds its reproductive center. While sepals protect the bud, petals are primarily designed to "advertise" the flower to the outside world. |
| Filament | is the thin, thread-like stalk that supports the anther (the pollen-producing part) of a flower. Together, the filament and anther make up the stamen, which is the male reproductive organ of the plant. |
| Anther | the pollen-producing part of a flower. It is the "business end" of the male reproductive organ, typically appearing as a small, fuzzy knob at the very top of a stalk called the filament |
| Stigma | the sticky or feathery tip of a flower's pistil (the female reproductive organ) that is designed to receive and trap pollen |
| Style | s the slender, stalk-like tube that connects the stigma (the top) to the ovary (the base). It is the middle section of the pistil, or female reproductive organ |
| Ovary | s the enlarged base of the pistil (the female reproductive organ) that holds the ovules. It is essentially the "womb" of the flower. |
| For successful pollination to occur... | pollen from the another must attach to the stigma and travel down the style to the ovary |
| Once pollination occurs... | the ovary will develop into a fruit |
| Fruits contain high amounts of... | sugars that were produced in the leaves and transported via the phloem |
| Inside the fruits are... | seeds, which are fertilized ovules which contain an embryo |
| Modes of seed dispersal | Wind, Water, Animal, Explosive power, Gravity |
| Root System | An important organ in a vascular plant, which transports water and minerals from soil, anchors plant, and stores sugars. |
| Tap Root | A large, central, dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally |
| Fibrous Root | Thin, branching roots growing from the stem. |
| Root Hairs | Extensions of epidermal cells, which function to increase the root surface area. |
| Carpel | Female reproductive organ of a flowering plant |
| Shoot System | Organs in vascular plants that transport sugar from the leaves downward |
| Flowers | Reproductive structure of flowering plants |
| Fruit | Develops from a ripened ovary and contains seeds |
| Seeds | Embryo of a plant |
| Stems | Transports water and sugars |
| Leaves | Site of photosynthesis |
| Water enters through the roots by... | osmosis due to water potential |
| Water then moves up the... | stems via the xylem and creates tugor pressure |
| Water next goes to the... | leaves where it is needed for photosynthesis |
| Xylem | Transports water and any dissolved nutrients and minerals. The xylem only transports materials upwards |
| Pholem | Transports glucose made during photosynthesis throughout the plant body. The phloem can transport both up and down |
| Tugor pressure | The pressure that is exerted by water to the wall of a cell |
| High Pressure | Plant erect |
| Low Pressure | Plant wilts |
| The leaf diffusers water vapor through | the stominta, this creates a pulling force that draws water upwards due to the cohesive properties of water |
