| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the green pigment that captures the sun's energy | chlorophyll |
| organelle that photosynthesis happens in | chloroplast |
| a waxy layer that coats most plant surfaces that are exposed to air | cuticle |
| Supports and protects the plant cell | cell wall |
| plants that do not have vascular tissue | nonvascular plants |
| plants that have specialized tissues that deliver water and nutrients around the plant | vascular plants |
| vascular plants that have no seeds | seedless vascular plants |
| a nonflowering, vascular seed plant | gymnosperm |
| a flowering, vascular seed plant | angiosperm |
| the reactants of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water + sunlight |
| the products of photosynthesis | sugar and oxygen |
| the process of plants making their own food | photosynthesis |
| the process where cells break down food to get energy | respiration |
| the organelle in which respiration occurs | mitochondria |
| the vascular tissue that moves water and nutrients | xylem |
| the vascular tissue that moves sugar (food) | phloem |
| an example of a nonvascular plant | moss |
| an example of a seedless vascular plant | fern |
| an example of an angiosperm | apple tree (or any flowering plant) |
| an example of a gymnosperm | pine tree (or anything with cones) |
| grains in a flower that contain male sex cells (sperm) | pollen |
| flower structure containing the female sex cells (eggs) | ovule |
| colorful flower structure that attracts pollinators | petal |
| flower structure that has a sticky surface to trap pollen grains | stigma |
| flower structure that produces pollen | anther |
| flower structure that allows sperm to travel to the egg | pollen tube |
| cup-like flower structure that holds the flower | receptacle |
| flower structure the protects the maturing flower bud | sepal |
| flower structure that contains the female organs | pistil |
| flower structure that contains the male organs | stamen |
| The hormone that causes a plant to grow a certain way. | auxin |
| A plant's response to light. | phototropism |
| A plant's response to gravity | geotropism |
| A plant's stem growing up toward the light. | positive phototropism |
| A plant's roots growing down . | positive geotropism |
| A plant's seedling, growing up in the dark. | negative geotropism |
| Flower part that becomes the fruit. | ovary |
| The reason nonvascular plants don't have vascular tissue | They are short and water moves via diffusion. |
| the reactants of respiration | sugar + oxygen |
| the products of respiration | carbon dioxide + water + energy |
| Fertilized eggs of a flower become this. | Seeds |
| The 4 major plant group | Nonvascular, seedless vascular, gymnosperms, angiosperms |
| A plant that makes its seeds in cones | gymnosperm |
| a plant that makes its seeds in flowers, shells, and fruits | angiosperm |
