Answer 7

angiosperms

Question 8

Answer 12

cotyledons

Question 13

What do you call the pattern of veins in leaves?

Answer 13

Leaf Venation

Question 14

Factors that determine the differences between monocots and dicots:

Answer 14

• cotyledon
• leaf venation
• flower part
• vascular tissue arrangement
• root

Question 15

The word gymnosperm comes from the Greek word:

Answer 15

“gymnos” (naked) and “sperma” (seed)

Question 16

The seeds of gymnosperms are contained in structures called ____________.

Answer 17

fronds

Question 18

Fronds are divided into two main parts:

Answer 19

rhizomes

Question 20

They from on the rhizome or even on the stripe of a fern. They grow down and act as their support.

Answer 20

roots

Question 21

They are round or elongated structures found on the undersides of fronds.

Answer 21

Sori (singular: sorus)

Question 22

Vascular tissue of plants responsible for delivering water and minerals from the roots to the aerial plant part.

Answer 22

xylem

Question 23

Vascular tissue of plants responsible for transporting food and nutrients from the leaves to other plant parts.

Answer 23

phloem

Question 24

Nonvascular plants are usually small. Water and nutrients are obtained via transport processes called ___________ and ___________.

Answer 24

osmosis and diffusion

Question 25

(kinds of nonvascular plants)

Small and flowerless plants that grow as clumps or mats in moist and shady places.

Answer 25

Mosses

Question 26

(kinds of nonvascular plants)

They grow in mats or clumps like Mosses do. They may be found on the ground rocks, trees, and other places particularly. in humid areas. They also exist in Arctic regions and deserts.

Answer 26

Liverworts

Question 27

(kinds of nonvascular plants)

They grow in moist places. They got their name from their slender and horn-shaped spore capsules where they produce their spores.

Answer 27

Hornworts
