types and parts of plants Flashcards
stomata
tiny pores on the underside of leaves that regulate gas exchange (take in O2, release CO2)
chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
xylem
transports water and minerals from roots to leaves
phloem
transports food made during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant
stamen (of a flower)
male part, consisting of anther (produces pollen) and filament
carpel/pistil (of a flower)
female part, consisting of the stigma (recieves pollen), style, and ovary (contains ovules)
pollination
transfer of pollen from anther (of a stamen) to stigma (of a pistil)
purpose of the ovule in the pistil
turns into a seed after pollination
non-vascular plants/bryophytes
no xylem, phloem, stems, or leaves. reproduce through spores
non-vascular plants/bryophytes examples
moss!
vascular plants types
pteridophytes (seedless), gymnosperms (naked seeds), angiosperms (flowering plants)
