16
Q

In flowering plants, a nutrient-rich mass formed by the union of a sperm cell with two polar nuclei during double fertilization; provides nourishment to the developing embryo in the seed.

17
Q

In plants, the tissue system forming the protective outer covering of leaves, young stems, and young roots.

18
Q

In plants, the tissue system forming the protective outer covering of leaves, young stems, and young roots.

19
Q

In plants, a long, slender sclerenchyma cell that usually occurs in a bundle.

20
Q

A ripened, thickened ovary of a flower, which protects developing seeds and aids in their dispersal.

21
Q

The multicellular haploid form in the life cycle of organisms undergoing alternation of generations; mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation.

A

Gametophyte

22
Q

To start developing or growing.

23
Q

A tissue of mostly parenchyma cells that makes up the bulk of a young plant and is continuous throughout its body. This system fills the space between the epidermis and the vascular tissue system.

A

Ground Tissue System

24
Q

A specialized epidermal cell in plants that regulates the size of a stoma, allowing gas exchange between the surrounding air and the photosynthetic cells in the leaf.

A

Guard cells

25
A specialized epidermal cell in plants that regulates the size of a stoma, allowing gas exchange between the surrounding air and the photosynthetic cells in the leaf.
Guard cells
26
In the center of trees, the darkened, older layers of secondary xylem made up of cells that no longer transport water and are clogged with resins
Heartwood
27
The portion of a plant stem between two of these structures.
Internode
28
This structure thickens the roots and shoots of woody plants. The vascular cambium and cork cambium are parts of this structure.
Lateral Meristem
29
The main site of photosynthesis in a plant; consists of a flattened blade and a stalk (petiole) that joins this structure to the stem.
Leaf
