| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a waxy substance that protects the leaves, green stems, and fruits | cuticle |
| This process ensures an embryo will have food before its seed germinates | double fertilization |
| The sap from a maple tree is extracted from the _____. | phloem |
| a plant that has tissues capable of transporting water and other materials is a _____ plant | vascular |
| primary structure of bryophytes | gametophyte |
| any plant lacking tissues that can transport water is a _____ plant | nonvascular |
| produce seeds but no fruits or flowers; bear their seeds out in the open on a cone | gymnosperms |
| Its primary function is to transport nutrients | stem |
| seed-bearing vascular plants; produce seeds, flowers, and fruits | angiosperm |
| tissue that protects the outside of the plant; helps it either retain or release water | dermal tissue |
| the outer layer of dermal cells; secretes the cuticle to seal in moisture and keep out bacteria and viruses | epidermis |
| True/False Secondary roots are extensions of the epidermis that take in water and minerals. | False |
| transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant | xylem |
| transports food made in the leaves; connected end to end | phloem |
| any of the tissues in a plant that are neither dermal nor vascular tissue | ground tissue |
| this marks where a leaf is joined to an ovary wall (belly-button) | hilum |
| Its primary function is storage and water uptake | cortex |
| leaves in which all veins run parallel to each other (parallel venation) | monocot |
| leaves in which veins branch and form a network of smaller veins (netted venation) | dicot |
| the enlarged receptacle that surrounds the ovary and seeds is a/an _____ fruit | accessory |
| the spongy ground tissue located in the center of a plant stem | pith |
| one main root and lots of small roots branching from it | taproot |
| Fern roots are produced by these underground stems | rhizomes |
| many small roots that straight from the stem and not a taproot | fibrous roots |
| the haploid stage in the alternation of generations life cycle of plants during which gametes are produced | gametophyte |
| the diploid stage in the alternation of generations life cycle of plants during which spores are produced | sporophyte |
| a fruit that comes from multiple ovaries is a _____ fruit | complex |
| a structure on the underside of a fern frond that houses and protects the fern’s sporangia | sori |
| the leaf of a fern plant | frond |
| In the majority of plants, the dominant structure is _____ | diploid |
| Describe alternation of generations. | It is a cycle that includes spore-forming and gamete-forming stages. |
| Identify and describe the three main types of ground cell tissues. | Parenchym - Store products for photosynthesis. Collenchyma - Provides flexible support for plants. Sclerenchyma - They are support cells in plants. |
| Describe the life cycle of a fern. | Sporangia produces spores. Then the spores germinate and begin the gametophyte stage. Then the gametophyte forms structures that produce eggs. Next the sperm fertilizes the eggs which creates zygotes that go through the sporophyte. Then the sporophyte pro |
