Stoma

29
Q

Vascular plant tissue consisting mainly of tubular dead cells that conduct most of the water and minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.

A

Xylem

30
Q

A long, tapered water-conducting cell found in the xylem of nearly all vascular plants. Functioning _______s are no longer living.

A

Tracheid

31
Q

Q

An organ in vascular plants that anchors the plant and enables it to absorb water and minerals from the soil.

A

Root

34
Q

The main photosynthetic organ of vascular plants.

A leaf with a highly branched vascular system, characteristic of the sat majority of vascular plants.

A

Megaphylls

37
Q

A modified leaf that bears sporangia and hence is specialized for reproduction.

A cluster of sporangia on a fern sporophyll. They may be arranged in various patterns, such as parallel lines or dots, which are useful in fern identification.

A

Sorus

39
Q

The technical term for a cluster of sporophylls known commonly as a cone, found in most gymnosperms and some seedless vascular plants.

A

Strobilus

40

A

Megaspores

Q

A small, herbaceous nonvascular plant that is a member of the phylum Bryophyta.
