prevent water loss (waxy coating)

Question 4

what tissue produces/stores sugar

Answer 4

ground tissue

Question 5

describe stomata

Answer 5

allow gas exchange for photosynthesis and water loss for transpiration.

Question 6

what tissue is uaed for transport and contains xylem and phloem

Answer 6

vascular

Question 7

xylem

Answer 7

carries water

Question 8

phloem

Answer 8

carries food

Question 9

describe meristematic tissue

Answer 9

found where plants rapidly grow, divides cells (undifferencitated)

Question 10

where is meristematic tissue found

Answer 10

in roots, protected by root cap

Question 11

what tissue is the sight of photosynehtesis

Answer 11

ground

Question 12

what are extensions of the epidermis called

Answer 12

root hairs

Question 13

describe ground tissue

Answer 13

stores photosynthetic products inside the epidermis

Question 14

what protects the meristem, and keeps plant cells from damage

Answer 14

root cap

Question 15

what kind of root is single, and thick

Answer 15

taproot

Question 16

what kind of root has many branches

Answer 16

fibrous

Question 17

how does xylem work in the stem

Answer 17

water moves from roots to leabes

Question 18

how does phloem work in stem

Answer 18

glucose from leaves transports to other parts

Question 19

what kind of growth happens in the meristem and increases the plants length

Answer 19

primary growth

Question 20

what kind of growth happens when the thickness of the plant grows

Answer 20

secondary growth

Question 21

what provides secondary growth in stems

Answer 21

cambium

Question 22

what kind of cambium produces vacular tissue that increases thickness

Answer 22

vascular cambium

Question 23

what kind of cambium produces outer covering of stem

Answer 23

cork cambium

Question 24

how does adhesion play a role in plants

Answer 24

capillary action moves water up the plant and transpiration creates a vacum

Question 25

what organism has male and frmale parts

Answer 25

dlowers

Question 26

where is the ovary of the flower contained

Answer 26

fruit

Question 27

descibe cones

Answer 27

disperse seeds all times of the year, pollen in male cones and eggs in the female

Question 28

what does the anther do in cross polination

Answer 28

the male part of the plant, it drops pollen into the pollinator

Question 29

what does the pollinator do

Answer 29

take pollen to another flower

Question 30

what does the stigma do

Answer 30

the female part that pollen sticks to

Question 31

Receptacle:

Answer 31

The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached.

Question 32

Sepal

Answer 32

he outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud. Protects developing flower from drying out.

Question 33

Petal

Answer 33

The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.

Question 34

Stamen:

Answer 34

The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther.

Question 35

Anther:

Answer 35

The part of the stamen where pollen is produced, held up by filament

Question 36

Carpel or Pistil:

Answer 36

The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma. The mature ovary is a fruit, and the mature ovule is a seed.

Question 37

Stigma:

Answer 37

STICKY top, catches pollen.

Question 38

-Style

Answer 38

tube connecting stigma to ovary

Question 39

-Ovary:

Answer 39

The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules (eggs) are produced. Develops into a fruit after fertilization.
