Which type of seed Vascular plant is unprotected seed
Gymnosperm
what are three types of gymnosperms?
ginkgo, cycads, conifers (pines, cedars, and spruces)
What are angiosperms?
Flowering plants seeds protected by fruit
what are the differences between cotyledon in monocots and dicots
monocot: one cotyledon
dicot: two cotyledons
what are the differences in flower parts in a monocot and dicot?
Monocot: flower parts in three or multiples of three
Dicot: flower parts in fours or fives or multiples of four or five
what are the differences in leaf veins between monocots and dicots?
Monocot: leaf veins, parallel
Dicot: leaf veins form a net pattern
What is the difference in vascular bundles between monocot and ions?
Monocot: Vascular bundles scattered
Dicot: vascular bundles arranged in a ring
Describe vascular plants
Has tubes to transport water and food
describe seed vascular plants
Uses seeds to reproduce
Describe angiosperm
Seeds are protected by fruits
describe dicot
uses fruits, more successful and abundant
Describe monocot
Uses fruits, less abundant
Describe gymnosperms
Seeds are not protected by fruits
describe vascular seedless
Reproduces with spores, has tubes
describe nonvascular
no tubes, low to the ground, goes through osmosis to get water
what type of vascular tissue brings water up the plant?
Xylem
what type of vascular tissue brings the food down?
phloem
what type of lifecycle of a plant completes lifecycle in one year?
Annual
What type of plant lifecycle takes many years to complete?
Perennials
What are the openings in leaves that allow for gas exchange?
Stomata

Cuticle
What are the two types of stems?
herbaceous
Woody stem
describe herbaceous stems
Green, soft, flexible, photosynthesize
describe Woody stem
Trees, shrubs, and some vines and made of wood, firm, has bark
what is the function of the stem?
Hold up branches and leaves, can photosynthesize, transfers material through vascular tissue
What is the function of the roots?
Anchor plant, absorb water and nutrients, store food
What is the function of leaves?
Photosynthesize
what is the function of a flower?
Reproduce
what is the function of fruit?
To protect seed
what is the function of seeds?
To make a new plant
What is it called when plants grow in response to a stimulus?
Tropism
What is it called when plants respond to the sun specifically
Phototropism
What is the male part of the flower?
Stamen
what is the female part of the flower?
Pistol
What part of the flower is often brightly colored to attract bees, and also protect the reproductive organs of the flower
Petal
What part of flower holds up the flower and attaches it to the rest of the plant
stem
What part of a flower contains the pollen?
Anther
what part of flower holds the pollen producers up in the air so the pond can be carried away by the wind?
Filament
what part of the flower contains the eggs or ovules
Ovary
What part of a flower is sticky and captures the pollen that is blowing in the wind
Stigma
What part of the flower transports the poem from place where is captured to the ovary?
Style
What part of the flower transports the poem from place where is captured to the ovary?
Style
What part of a flower protects the bud before it opens into a flower
sepal
