Question | Answer |
Plant Cells makes more of themselves through? | Mitosis |
In order to make a gamete, a cell has to go through | Meiosis |
What plant system is related to Meiosis? | Reproductive system |
Waxy covering on the outside of the leaf used to prevent water loss? | Cuticle |
What is the structure used to regulate gas exchange and transpiration? | guardcelt |
What is the Transpiration process | The LOSS of water through its leave. It is replaced by water drawn into the leaf through the vascular system (xylem) |
What transport Food throughout the plant. | Phloem |
Together, Phloem and Xylem make up a plant's | Vascular system |
What transport water from the roots to the leaves | Xylem |
What is the function of the guard cells? | Opening and closing of the stoma |
Desert or dry habitat plant adaptation | Thick stems to store water |
Nutrient Deficient Habitat (Poor soil) | Carnivorous and Parasites live on host |
Describe at least three adaptation cacti use to conserve water | Help reduce water loss
- Thick Stems
- extensive roots/ shallow system
- reduced leaves (thin, sharp spines) |
Deep roots would be an advantage (adaptation) for a plant because | Roots can extend great distances to reach water below Earth's surface |
Roots does what? | Transport, protection and absorption, maintain structure, dissolve nutrients |
Plants toxins, thorns, and other irritants are all example of plant | genetic mutations |
Which characteristic f the plant evolved first? | Green algae ancestors |
All of the following plants contain vascular tissue except | Bryophytes/ Mosses |
Angiosperms possess which special shared characteristic? | Fruit and Flowers |
What are two examples of angiosperms? | sunflower and rose bush |
An example of bryophyte would be a | Moss |
The plant structure where photosynthesis takes place | chloroplast |
Chloroplast are highly concentrated in which plant structure? | Leaves |
What is the equation of photosynthesis? | GCo2 + GH2O + Sunlight + C6H2o6 +6O2 |
Identify and describe which plant structure are involved with the "Reactants" from the Photosynthesis equation. | Stomata: CO2 Leaves:Sunlight |
Dandelion dispersed by the following method? | Wind and Water |
Blackberry dispersed by the following method? | animals |
Maple dispersed by the following method? | Water and Wind |
Peach dispersed by the following method? | animals |
Acorn dispersed by the following method? | animals |
Pistil/Carpel plant structure functions | Female reproductive structure |
Stigma plant structure functions | Sticky- Where pollen attaches |
Style plant structure functions | attaches stigma to ovary (long tube) |
Ovary plant structures functions | stores the eggs (Ovules) |
Stamen plant structures functions | Male reproductive structure |
Anther plant structures functions | Produces Pollen |
Filament plant structures functions | supports the anther |
Receptacle plant structures functions | Where flower forms |
Petal plant structures functions | attracts insects and small animals |
What part of the flower attracts pollinators like bees? | Petal |
What parts of the plant are involved in sexual reproduction? | Anther, male filament, 7 stamen, Female: Stigma, style, ovary |
What part of the flower produce pollen? | Anther |
Leaves main function | Light absorption/photosynthesis; gas exchange: H2O Transpiration |
Stems main function | Produce leaves, branches, flowers; structure (hold leaves up)W |
Which plant structures are involved with the "Products" from the Photosynthesis equation | Oxygen is being given off glucose/ Sugar transported through leaf > all parts of the plants |
Gravitropism | Response to gravity: Tree Stem growing upright |
Thigmotropism | Response to touch: grape vine> Corl and twist around object |
Phototropism | Response to sunlight: Plant facing Sunlight |
How do plant use their stomata to maintain equilibrium or homeostasis? | Guard cells close opening in the leaves of plants dynamic equilibrium |
How do fruits help angiosperms survive ? | Producing sperm and egg > Reproduction |
