2 types of meristematic tissues

A

shoot apical
root apical

28
Q

stomata

A

specialized cells that allow for gas exchange between air/plant
- surrounded by guard cells

29

40
Q

vascular tissue

A

cells joined into tubes for transport of water and nutrients

41

groupings of common structure from common ancestor
- from vascular plants

42
Q

grade

A

grouped together by key features, no common ancestry

43
Q

seed

A

embryo and nutrients surrounded by protective coat
- seed plants form clade that can be further divided into more clades

44
Q

gymnosperms

A

seeds no enclosed in chambers

45
Q

angiosperms

A

seeds develop inside chambers that originate within flowers

46
Q

fruit =

A

ovary (receptacle)

47
Q

endosperm

A

cotyledon

A

“seed-leaf”

49
Q

dominant generation in vascular plants

A

sporophyte

50
Q

vascular plant characteristics

A
  • sporophyte dom gen
  • well-developed roots/leaves
  • xylem and phloem
  • sporangium
51
Q

sporangium

A

vessel-containing spores
- produces spores

52
Q

xylem

A
  • conducts most of water and minerals
  • includes tube-shaped cells called tracheids
  • water-conducting cells strengthened by lignin and provide
53
Q

phloem

A
  • cells arranged in tubes that distribute sugars, amino acids, and organic products
54
Q

what allows for increased height

A

vascular tissues

55
Q

roots

A

organs that anchor vascular plants
- enable absorption of water, nutrients, and oxygen for soil

56
Q

leaves

A

organs that increase surface area of vascular plants to capture more solar energy for photosynthesis
