Chapter 10.1: Plant Diversity Flashcards
- label the plant cell - identify the structures and functions of a plant - describe how a plant’s structure ensure its survival - compare the different plant types and be able to provide examples for each
Vascular plants contain tissues that transport water and nutrients through the plant, true or false?
True.
Plants with rhizoids are vascular plants, true or false?
False. Rhizoids do not contain vascular tissue.
Gymnosperms are non-vascular plants, true or false?
False.
Mosses are vascular as they have roots, true or false?
False. They do not have roots they have rhizoids which contain no vascular tissue.
Name the two types of stems that plants can have.
Woody and herbaceous.
Name the 3 different types of roots.
Tap root, prop root and fibrous root.
Angiosperms are seed plants that can do what?
Produce flowers.
Ferns are an example of seed or non-seed plants?
Non-seed, they produce spores instead.
Gymnosperms produce seeds that are not part of a fruit, true or false?
True. Gymnosperms do not produce fruit, most produce cones instead.
Horsetails, ferns and club mosses are all examples of; Vascular seed plants
Non-vascular seed plants
Vascular seedless plants
Non-vascular seedless plants
Vascular seedless plants. They have vascular tissues and roots but do not produce seeds like angiosperms and gymnosperms.
The small openings in the surfaces of most plant leaves are called?
Stomata.
Leaves are the major site for which plant process?
Photosynthesis.
Some cells in leaves contain organelles for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose. What are these green organelles called?
Chloroplasts. They are where photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells.
Structures that anchor a plant without transport tissue to a surface are called?
Rhizoids.
The outside of a plant cell is called the?
Cell wall.
