Ch. 22 Flashcards
vascular tissue
specialized transport tissue
cones
structure that contains male or female reproductive structures of cycads and other gymnosperm plants
seed
plant structure that contains an embryo, contains nutrients for the embryo, and is covered with a protective coat
stomata
openings in the outer cell layer of leaves and some stems
angiosperm
plants with cones that evolved before plants with flowers
bryophate
mosses
gymnosperm
plants with cones
roots
first structure to grow out of the seed when it sprouts; take in water and dissolved minerals that are transported to the rest of the plant
root cap
covers the tip of the root
stems
main body of stalk of a plant or shrub
leaves
original solar panels; capturing energy from sunlight in a biochemical process called photosynthesis
transpiration
water evaporates from the inside of a leaf to the outside through stomata
meristematic tissue
regions of rapidly dividing cells; produce cells
meristems
regions of rapidly diving cells
ground tissue
consist of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells and have diverse functions (including photosynthesis, storage, and support)
