Plants Structure And Function Flashcards
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE IS THE LARGE MAIN ROOT, THAT HAS SMALLER ROOTS GROWING FROM IT.
The taproot
What are the small roots above the ground that support the plants called?
Prop roots
What is technically not considered a root because it doesn’t have transport tissue to the surface?
Rhizoids
What is the type of stem that is very stiff and it is like a trees stem?
Woody stem
What are stem called that are flexible and green like the stem of a vine?
herbaceous
What is the part of the plant where photosynthesis occurs?
The Leaf
What part of the plant cell converts light energy into chemical energy stored in sugar during photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
What is the name of the small openings in the surface of the leaf and where water ,carbon dioxide, and oxygen can pass through?
Stomata
What type of root is mainly in wild flowers and sunflowers?
Fibrous roots
What absorbs water and minerals and is vital for the plants cellular processes?
The roots
What part of the plant transports the the sugar produced in chloroplast during photosynthesis and water/minerals
Stems
What is an organism which can make its own food through photosynthesis?
Plants
What is any root like filament in a moss, fern, etc. that attaches to the plant?
Rhizoid
What is A microscopic opening in the epidermis of plants surrounded by guard cells and serving for gaseous exchange?
Stoma
A positive or negative attraction of a plant or sessile animal toward, or away from the stimulus as the in the turning of the sunflower toward the light?
Tropism
What is the Woody vascular tissue of the plant characterized by the presence on vessels of both fibrous and parenchyma,that conducts water in the mineral salts in the stems row sleeves and gives support to the plant
Xylem
Vascular tissue in vascular plants that conducts and distribute sugars and other dissolve foods from the places where the food is produced to the places where is needed or store?
Phloem
What is a seed plant having ovary and exhibiting double fertilization; a flowering plant?
Angiosperms
The first single leaf for one of the first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a flowering plant or any of various similar structures are found in conifers.
Cotyledons
What is a seed producing structure on an angiosperm consisting of a shortened stem usually bearing four layers of organs with the leaf like petals, color pedals, and pollen-hearing stamens and unfolding around the pistols?
Flower
What is the edible plant structure of a mature ovary of a flowering plant usually eaten raw?
Fruit
What begins to grow and put out shoots after a period of dormancy?
Germinate
What is a vascular plant such as cyclad or conifer whose sees are not enclosed within an ovary?
Gymnosperm
What looks like small pine trees and they’re called ground pine grown from tropic to Arctic locations?
Club mosses
