Chapter 15/16 Test Flashcards
Types of non-vascular plants
~ liverworts
~ hornworts
~ mosses
Non-vascular plants
~ no transport tissue layers
~ no roots; Hair like structures instead (Rhizolds)
~ live in moist areas (moisture to reproduce)
~ low lying
~ no stems; leaves; etc
Vascular plants
~ transport tissue ~ true roots ~ stems ~ leaves ~ xylem ~phloem
Seedless vascular plants
~ true roots
~ spores
- dispersal mechanism
Role of roots
Anchor plants
Seek water and nutrients
Role of stems
Holds plant upright
Seek sunlight
Primary role of leaves
Photosynthesis
Xylem
~ hollow tubes, transports water
~ moves UP from root to top of plant
Phloem:
Transports products of photosynthesis
Living cells
Parts of a flower
Stamen -anther (male reproductive organ) -filament Ovary (female reproductive organ) -Ovule Petals Sepals (tiny leaves underneath flower) Stem Stigma Style
Gymnosperms
-Have seeds (naked seeds, not protected)
-Trees with cones
-seeds gathered in cones
-lose seeds
Ex: woody trees, needles
Angiosperms
-protected seeds
-seeds are kept (retained)
-seeds protected in blossom
-seeds visible
-sometime protected in fruit
Trees, shrubs, broad leaves
Where is pollen produced?
Stigma
Where are the eggs?
Ovules in ovaries
