Plants Flashcards
Angiosperm
A plant that has flowers and produces seeds protected by a corpel
Examples: roses, orchids, hydrangea
Gymnosperm
A plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or a fruit
Examples: conifers, cycads, gnetophytes
Spremophtes
Seed plants
Use seeds to reproduce
Dandelion
Pteridophytes
Non- seed plants
Do not use seeds to reproduce
Tracheophytes
Vascular plants
Have special tissue that moves water and other things through plants
Bryophytes
Nonvascular plants
Don’t have vascular connections, so they have to get their water from the environment directly
What are rhizoids
Help Moss stick
Parenchyma ( ground cell)
Thin flexible cell wall
Bug vacuoles
Found in watery foods like alovera, watermelon etc.
The only cells that engage in mitosis
Filled with chloroplasts called chlorenchyma
Functions
thin flexible cell wall large vacules
• alot of types of Cells, found in all plant cells
Cells only cells engage in mitosis
Filled with Chloroplasts Called Chlorenchyma
Suited for gas exhange,light, water and
Metabolizes .
Collenchyma
Thickens cell walls
sometimes unevenly thick
Provide support and elasastcity in stems and leaves during rapid growth
Example, celery
Sclerenchyma
Thick secondary cell wall
Function is to support
Dead at maturity
Found in shells of nuts and spines of cactus
Meristems
Only ground cells that can do do mitosis
There are two types
Apical meristems
Lateral meristems
Apical Meristems
Up and down
Place of roots and tips
Roots and shoot system form in the seeds of the plants
When the seed gets germinated the cell in the April’s meristems divide and elongate
Lateral Meristems
Side to side
Meristems at located other than roots and shoot tips
Make complete or incomplete sylinder of tissue in roots and stems
Causes rings to grow
Growth is diameter
Xylem
Vessel that Carrie’s water form the roots to the leaves for photosynthesis to happen
Phloem
Vessel that transports nutrients form the leaves to the roots ex glucose that it gets form photosynthesis
Sive Tubes
Vertical stacked cells with to walls no nucleus
Only allows water and food minerals through the plant
Cuticle
Waxy outer surface
Stomata
Lower surface of Leaf has small holes to let air and water Vapor to go in and out located at the lower epidermis only
