15
Q

Name three parts of a seed and why each one is important

A

Young plant-reproduction

Seed coat-protection

Stored food-energy for young plant

16
Q

Why do Angiosperms have fruit?

A

To attract animals to eat them so there seeds will travel everywhere

17
Q

Name two types of Angiosperms

A

Monocots-one seed leaf, vascular tissue scattered

Dicots-two seed leaves, vascular tissue in a ring

18
Q

Define xylem

A

Transports water and minerals throughout the plant

19
Q

Define Phleom

A

Transports sugar molecules

20
Q

Name three functions of roots

A

Supply plant with water and minerals

Support and anchor plants

Store surplus food

21
Q

Name three functions of stems

A

Supports the plants body

Transport materials btw roots and shoots

Store materials

22
Q

Sepal

A

Small leaves that protect the bud

23
Q

Petal

A

“showy” part of the flower. It’s designed to attract insects to allow polonation

24
Stigma
A sticky part of the pistil, it "captures" and holds pollen
25
Style
Holds the stigma high enough to allow pollen to land on the stigma
26
Ovary
Produces eggs. It swells to form a fruit after fertilizing accurs
27
Chlorophyll
Green pigment in plants. It is responsible for photosynthesis
28
Root hairs
Expander singe of the root in order to absorb more
29
Gymnosperm
Naked seed cone bearing coniferous
30
Pollen
Male sex cell for plants produced by the anther
31
Pollination
the act of pollen landing on the female part of the plant
32
Stamen
Male part of the flower that contains Anther and Filament. The Anther produces pollen, and the Filament supports the anther
33
Pistil
Female part of the flower, it contain stigma, style, and ovary
34
Anther
Produces pollen
35
Filament
Supports anther and raises it higher to allow an insect to get its pollen
36
Stomata
Small openings in the underside of a leaf that help get rid of wast from photosynthesis
37
Spore
A method of reproduction in simple plants like a fern
38
Cotyledon
Food source for seed, it gives energy to sprout
