27
Q

Cotyledon

A

The food pouch that monocots and dicots have

28
Q

Photosynthesis

A

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food

29
Q

Germination

A

Seed becoming a plant

30
Q

Plantlets

A

Tiny plants that grow along the edges of a plant’s leaves and fall off on their own.

31
Q

Tuber

A

Underground stems from which new plants can grow

32
Q

Runner

A

Above ground stems from which new plants can grow

33
Q

Dormant

34
Q

Transpiration

A

The process by which plants release water vapor into the air through stoma

35
Q

Stoma

A

One of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enables gas exchange to occur

36
Q

Cellular respiration

A

The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food

37
Q

Chlorophyll

A

A green pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis

38
Q

Ovary

A

In flowering plants, the lower part of a pistil that produces eggs in ovules

39
Q

Ovule

A

After fertilization takes place it develops into a seed

40
Q

Spongy layer

A

Carbon dioxide moves freely through here and xylem and phloem are found in this layer

41
Q

Cuticle

A

Prevents leaf from water loss

42
Q

Palisade layer

A

Contain many chloroplasts and carbon dioxide moves freely through here

43
Q

Epidermis

A

A single layer of cells that beneath the cuticle

44
Q

Xylem

A

The type of tissue in vascular plants that provides support and conducts water and nutrients from the root

45
Q

Phloem

A

The tissue that conducts food in vascular plants

46
Q

Fibrous root

A

Several roots that spread out from the plants stem

47
Q

Taproot

A

One main root

48
Q

Fertilization

A

Happens when sperm fuses with the egg inside an ovule

49
Q

What advantages do vascular plants have over non vascular plants?

A

They have tubes to deliver water and nutrients and can grow taller and be in different locations

50
Q

What importance do each play?

Non vascular plants

A

They are pioneer species so they helped form soil

51
Q

What importance do each play?

Seedless vascular plants

A

Form soil and prevent soil erosion

52
Q

What importance do each play?

Vascular plants

A

Food and shelter for other organisms

53
Q

What importance do each play?

Gymnosperms

A

Make medications, paper and shelter

54
Q

What importance do each play?

Angiosperms

A

Makes perfume, food, and medication

55
Q

What advantage do seeds provide for their plant?

A

They help protect baby plants, they spread easier, can live in harsh conditions

56
Q

What is unique about each plant’s method of reproduction?

Seedless plant

57
Q

What is unique about each plant’s method of reproduction?

Gymnosperms

58
Q

What is unique about each plant’s method of reproduction?

Angiosperms

59
Q

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

A

Carbon dioxide + water
Light energy
➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️ glucose + oxygen

60
Q

What can happen to glucose after it is made in photosynthesis?

A

It can be stored as starch or used as energy for cellular respiration

61
Q

Why does a plant need cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

A

To move energy through the plant

62
Q

What are the four methods of reproduction for angiosperms?

A

Sexual, tubers, plantlets, runners

63
Q

How does a flower transform into a fruit/seed

A

Ovary holds ovule

64
Q

What is the male reproductive part of a flower and what is it made of?

A

Stamen, made of anther and Filiment

65
Q

What is the female reproductive part of the flower and what is it made if?

A

Pistil, it’s made of stigma, style, and ovary
