cone-bearing plants produce seeds which are not enclosed or
Naked
26
A structure found in gymnosperms which houses seeds
Cones
27
the openings, found on the underside of leaves in some plants, where gas exchange takes place
Stomata
28
28. this tissue transports nutrients and the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
Phloem
29
29. a waxy coating on the surface of leaves which prevents the evaporation of water
Cuticle
30
the entire female part of the flower
Carpel
31
in gymnosperms, the leaves are modified into this shape to prevent water loss
Needles
32
the phylum to which the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts belong
Bryophyta
33
structures found below ground which conduct water and nutrients from the ground up into the plant
Roots
34
34. the phylum to which the vascular plants belong
Tracheophyta
35
35. the sticky part of a flower to which pollen grains adhere
Stigma
36
the scarcity of this resource is the number one factor in limiting the growth of plants on land
Water
37
the generation of plants which is diploid
Sporophyte
38
the female structure in a moss or fern
Archegonium
39
these are among the most ancient of the cone bearing plants - there is a specimen from this group growing at the Maple Ridge hospital
Cycads
40
the "flowering plants"
Angiosperms
41
pollen spreads from male cones to female cones in gymnosperms via the
Wind
42
the reproductive structure on an angiosperm( trick question)
Flower
43
these non-vascular plants reproduce asexually using structures called gemmae
Liverworts
44
44. organisms belonging to genus Equisetum, related to ferns, sometimes called "scouring rushes"
Horsetails
45
specialized structures for conducting photosynthesis
Leaves
46
46. a rolled up fern frond which has just emerged from underground
Fiddle head
47
47. name given to the leaf-like portion of a fern which grows above ground
Frond
48
48. the underground stem of a fern
Rhizome
49
49. mosses and ferns are confined to wet or seasonally wet environments because this structure must swim to fertilize an egg
Sperm
50
50. the green leaves which surround a flower before it opens
Sepals
51
51. the seeds of an angiosperm are enclosed in a structure called a
Fruit
52
a structure which connects the roots to the leaves and allows plants to grow taller
Stem
53
53. an angiosperm with flower parts in multiples of 3
Monocot
54
An angiosperm with flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
Dicot
55
3 major groups of seedless vascular plants
Ferns, horsetails, club mosses
56
Club losses come from the genus :
Lycopodium
57
Horsetails come from the genus:
Equisetum
58
Parallel veins means the plant is
Monocot
59
Net-like veins means the plant is
Dicot
60
Vascular tissue is randomly arranged means that the plant is
Monocot
61
Vascular tissue is arranged in bundles means the plant is
Dicot
