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

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

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
Q

Stigma

A

A sticky part of the pistil, it “captures” and holds pollen

25
Q

Style

A

Holds the stigma high enough to allow pollen to land on the stigma

26
Q

Ovary

A

Produces eggs. It swells to form a fruit after fertilizing accurs

27

Q

Pollen

A

Male sex cell for plants produced by the anther

31
Q

Pollination

A

the act of pollen landing on the female part of the plant

32
Q

Stamen

A

Male part of the flower that contains Anther and Filament. The Anther produces pollen, and the Filament supports the anther

33
Q

Pistil

A

Female part of the flower, it contain stigma, style, and ovary

34
Q

Anther

A

Produces pollen

35
Q

Filament

A

Supports anther and raises it higher to allow an insect to get its pollen

36
Q

Stomata

A

Small openings in the underside of a leaf that help get rid of wast from photosynthesis

37
Q

Spore

A

A method of reproduction in simple plants like a fern

38
Q

Cotyledon
