Lesson 15 Terms

Question 1

Angiosperms

Answer 1

flowering plants that produce seeds in fruit

Question 2

Antheridia

Answer 2

produce sperm

Question 3

Archegonia

Answer 3

produce ovum

Question 4

Botany

Answer 4

study of plants

Question 5

Conifers

Answer 5

Cone-bearing plants

Question 6

Cotyledon

Answer 6

first leaf or first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed plant

Question 7

Dicots

Answer 7

two cotyledons

Question 8

ferns

Answer 8

seedless vascular plants; reproduce using spores

Question 9

Flowering plants

Answer 9

This group consists of true vascular plants that produce flowers and pollen. Their seeds are protected by fruits and nuts.

Question 10

fronds

Answer 10

leaves of ferns

Question 11

Gametophyte

Answer 11

the first generation that occurs when a haploid spore is produced by meiosis

Question 12

Gymnosperms

Answer 12

seed plant that bears its seeds directly on the surfaces of cones

Question 13

Leaflets

Answer 13

part of the fern structure; arranged on either side of the petiole

Question 14

Leafy shoot

Answer 14

a tiny stem with very tiny leaf-like structures which absorb nutrients and water from the environment and perform photosynthesis

Question 15

Life cycle

Answer 15

alternation of generations

Question 16

monocots

Answer 16

one cotyledon

Question 17

Mosses

Answer 17

Mosses

individual plants packed tightly together; reproduce using spores

Question 18

Non-seed-bearing plants

Answer 18

reproduce using spores

Question 19

Non-vascular

Answer 19

he plant lacks vascular tissue and is therefore often much smaller and has a simpler cell structure

Question 20

Petiole

Answer 20

a blade attached to a fern leaf

Question 21

Phylum Anthophyta

Answer 21

angiosperms (flowering plants)

Question 22

Phylum Bryophyta

Answer 22

mosses

Question 23

conifers

Answer 23

Phylum Coniferophyta

Question 24

Phylum Pterophyta

Answer 24

ferns

Question 25

Pollen cones

Answer 25

male reproductive organs; male cones

Question 26

Prothallus

Answer 26

fern gametophyte

Question 27

Rhizoid

Answer 27

a root like structure; grows into the food source and consume the food via external digestion

Question 28

Rhizomes

Answer 28

fronds grow from stems growing underground or attached to a tree

Question 29

Seed

Answer 29

an embryo of a plant with diploid cells surrounded by a food source with a protective covering

Question 30

Seed-bearing

Answer 30

reproduce using seeds

Question 31

Seed cones

Answer 31

female reproductive organs of a conifer; female cones

Question 32

Sori

Answer 32

clumps of sporangia that produce haploid spores

Question 33

Spore

Answer 33

tiny, one-celled reproductive structures

Question 34

Sporophyte generation

Answer 34

begins after fertilization. The zygote grows out of the female gametophyte into a stalk with a capsule on top, in which more spores are created.

Question 35

Sporophyte generation

Answer 35

begins after fertilization. The zygote grows out of the female gametophyte into a stalk with a capsule on top, in which more spores are created.

Question 36

non- Vascular

Answer 36

the plant lacks vascular tissue and is therefore often much smaller and has a simpler cell structure

Question 37

Petiole

Answer 37

a blade attached to a fern leaf

Question 38

Flowering plants

Answer 38

This group consists of true vascular plants that produce flowers and pollen. Their seeds are protected by fruits and nuts.

Question 39

Cotyledon

Answer 39

first leaf or first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed plant
