Plant and Animal Respiration Flashcards
What term is used if new individuals of species are produced and genetic material is passed on?
Reproduction
This type of reproduction is where only one parent is involved
Asexual Reproduction
Female produce eggs and develop without being fertilized (Ants, Bees, Aphids)
Parthenogenesis
Forms spores which are light enough to be carried by wind/water
Sporulation
Formation of “bud” which breaks off from parent
Budding
Parent body break into pieces, each piece will grow into new individual
Fragmentation
Unicellular Organism divides via mitosis to produce 2 identical daughter cells (Bacteria, Yeast, etc)
Binary Fission
Production of new plant from vegetative structure
Vegetative Propagation
These are horizontally oriented stems that grow along a
soil surface, they can run from
one vegetative spot to the next
Stolen or Runner
These are food storage for future developing plants, they contain
several buds near the node which is where leaves are produced.
Bulb
These are root-like stems that grow horizontally under the ground
Rhizome
These can either be stem tubers or root tubers where they store
nutrients.
Tuber (Stem & Root)
These are swollen underground stems that store starch.
Corm
A form of asexual reproduction wherein new plants grow from the buds growing on the margin of the leaves.
Leaf
Also known as “root sprouts”. These are plant stems that arise from
buds on the base of the parent stem or roots.
