DIVERSITY OF PLANTS Flashcards
True or False: Non-vascular plants have roots, stems, and leaves.
False (They lack true roots, stems, and leaves.)
Vascular plants use xylem and phloem to transport water and nutrients
True
Ferns reproduce through seeds.
False (They reproduce using spores.)
Gymnosperms produce flowers.
False (They produce cones, not flowers.)
Angiosperms are also known as flowering plants.
True
Mosses belong to vascular plants.
False (They belong to non-vascular plants)
Plant diversity is important for maintaining ecosystems
True
Climate change does not affect plant diversity.
False
Gymnosperms have seeds enclosed in fruits.
False (Their seeds are “naked” and not enclosed in fruits.)
All plants use photosynthesis to make their own food.
True
This plant has feathery leaves and reproduces using spores.
Ferns/Pteridophytes
This plant group includes roses, apple trees, and sunflowers.
Angiosperms
Pine trees belong to this plant group.
Gymnosperms
Mosses and liverworts belong to this group.
Non-vascular plants/Bryophytes
vascular tissue that carries water from the roots to the leaves.
Xylem
vascular tissue that transports nutrients and sugars in plants. (from leaves to other parts of the plants)
Phloem
The process where plants use sunlight to make food.
Photosynthesis
Identify one major threat to plant diversity.
Climate change/Deforestation,/Pollution
The structure in a flower where seeds develop.
Ovary
the plant group that does not produce seeds.
