| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| non vascular plants | plants without vascular tissues |
| xylem | vessels that carry water and dissolved substances from the roots to the other parts of the plant |
| Rhizoids | root like structures used for anchoring not absorption |
| cuticle | nonliving waxy covering/waterproof |
| palisade layer | tightly packed cells filled with chloroplasts;where most photosynthesis happens |
| spongy layer | irregularly shaped cells;loosely fitting together;allows for air to move through the leaf |
| vascular bundle | contains the xylem and the phloem within the leaf |
| xylem | carries the water,minerals,etc to the leaf from the roots. |
| Phloem | carries the glucose solution to the plant for use or storage |
| Guard cells | control the openings through which gases come/go |
| Stoma | openings through which gases travels |
| annuals | plants go through life cycle in one season |
| biennials | plants that live for 2 growing season |
| perennials | plants that live for many growing seasons |
| Monocot | parallel venation Stem has scattered vascular bundles one cotyledon roots is fibrous flower parts in multiple of 3 palmate pinnate |
| Dicot | Flower has multiples of 4 or 5 stem has circular pattern leaf has netted venation two cotyledon seeds |
| cellulose | holds plant upright |
| gymnosperms | naked seed non flowering,non fruit reproduce using cone |
| Angiosperms | flowering fruit bearing parts develop into fruit or nuts that contain seeds |
| seedless non vascular | mosses,liverworts,hornworts |
| seedless vascular plants | ferns,club mosses,horsetails |
