| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| phloem | how sugars move down the plants |
| xylem | how water and nutrients move up the plant |
| photosynthesis | What is the function of a leaf? |
| upper and lower epidermis | protect and prevent leaves from losing water |
| cuticle | helps plant keep water |
| Palisade mesophyll cells | photosynthesize, rectangle shape |
| spongy mesophyll cells | photosynthesize, circular shape |
| veins | transport water and nutrients through xylem and distribute sugars through phloem |
| stomates | openings in leaf |
| stomates | where does most water evaporate through on a leaf? |
| anchor plant absorb water and nutrients store carbohydrates | functions of the roots |
| angiosperms | most abundant plants |
| m: 1 seed, narrow leaf, parallel veins, 3 petals/sepals, herbaceous d: 2 seeds, broad leaf, netted veins, 4-5 petals/sepals, herbaceous or woody | monocots vs. dicots |
| guard cells, regulate open and close, how plants get co2 | function of stomates |
| inner bark (phloem) and outer bark (cork/periderm) | 2 components of bark |
| pollination | transfer of pollen from the anther to stigma |
| fertilization | fusion of male and female gametes to form zygote |
| stamens (filament and anther) | male parts of flower |
| pistil (ovule, stigma, pistile, ovary) | female parts of flower |
| seed coat embryo endosperm micropyle hilum | components of a seed |
| seed coat | protects inner components of a seed |
| embryo | immature, dormant plant |
| endosperm | specialized tissue that provides nutrients for sprouting plant |
| micropyle | tiny pore/hole that allows for germination |
| fruit | what the ovary of a flower becomes |
| bryophytes | plants that don't produce seed and lack xylem and phloem |
| sporophyte>spores>gametophytes | life cycle of plants |
| sporophyte and gametophyte | what does the life cycle of plants alternate between? |
| what is the haploid generation in plants? | |
| haploid spores | product of meiosis in plants |
| pollen | male gametophyte in flowering plants |
| embryo sac | female gametophytes in flowering plants |
| anther | where are the male gametophytes produced in flowering plants |
| ovule | where are the female gametophytes produced in flowering plants |
| in ovule which is in ovary | where fertilization occurs in flowering plants |
| moss | plants lacking xylem and phloem (vascular tissue) |
| angiosperms and gymnosperms | plants producing seed |
| angiosperms | flowering plants |
| gymnosperms | plants producing cones |
| angiosperms | plants that produce fruit |
| angiosperms | monocots and dicots |
| gymnosperm | what is a pine? |
| moss | plants having large, conspicuous, green gametophytes |
| moss | bryophytes |
| angiosperms | members of Phylum Anthophyta |
| ferns | seedless vascular plants |
