Question 4

Plant cycles have 2 alternating phases called

Answer 4

diploid stage (2N) and haploid stage (1N)

Question 5

Diploid stage is called the

Answer 5

Sporophyte stage and produces spores which are haploid as a result of meiosis

Question 6

Haploid stage is called

Answer 6

gametophyte generation and produces gametes. Then fertilization and it grows into a sporophyte plant

Question 7

Answer 7

One-celled Algae

Question 8

What is proof to believe plants started as one celled Algae

Answer 8

Multicellular, eukaryotic, photosynthetic, cellulose cell walls, and chlorophylls a and b

Question 9

Struggles for plants as they move to land

Answer 9

water scarcity, structural support, and a new reproduction method

Question 10

What are some characteristics of truly terrestrial plants

Answer 10

Xylem and phloem, Roots, stems, Leaves, Flowers, Cuticle or Bark

Question 11

Define vascular tissue and xylem/phloem

Answer 11

Vascular tissue moves food and water throughout the plant
Phloem carries food down the plant
Xylem carries water up the plant

Question 12

Vascular plants and non vascular plants known as

Answer 12

Vascular - Tracheophytes and are true land plants
non vascular - bryophytes

Question 13

Vascular plants are split into 2 groups

Answer 13

Seed and seedless

Question 14

Where is the place for non vascular plants to live

Answer 14

Water or rainfall areas

Question 15

What is the non vascular plants version of roots

Answer 15

Rhizoids

Question 16

Why do short plants not do good near tall plants

Answer 16

Competition for sunlight

Question 17

Seed plants have 2 groups

Answer 17

Angiosperms (flower)
Gymnosperms (cones)

Question 18

What adaptations are seen in seed plants that allow reproduction without water

Answer 18

1. Flowers or cones
2. Transferred by pollination
3. Protection of embryos

Question 19

Which generation is dominant in seed plants

Answer 19

Sporophyte and it carries out most of the photosynthesis

Question 20

What is pollination

Answer 20

transfer of pollen from male to female structures

Question 21

what are some gymnosperm adaptations

Answer 21

flat thin needles to reduce surface area and thick waxy cuticle

Question 22

why are flower good structure

Answer 22

They attract insects and other small animals to transport pollen

Question 23

What is fruit

Answer 23

wall of tissue surrounding the seed as it protects the seed and helps move it around by attracting animals

Question 24

what are the 2 types of angiosperm

Answer 24

Monocot and Dicot

Question 25

what are some monocot and dicot differences

Answer 25

Monocots have 1 cotyledon, flower parts in multiples of 3, vascular bundles scattered throughout the stem, Fibrous root system. Dicots have 2 cotyledon, flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5, vascular bundles arranged in a ring in the stem, Taproot system.
