12.1 - 12.4 - Angiosperm Stuff ("Classification of Plants & Plant Structures")

Question 1

Cotyledons

Answer 1

Structures that supply nutrients to the plant embryo

“Seed leaf”

Question 2

SEEDS

Monocots vs. Eudicots

Answer 2

Monocots - Has 1 cotyledon (seed leaf)

Eudicots - Has 2 cotyledons (seed leaf)

Question 3

Venation

Answer 3

Veins

Question 4

LEAVES

Monocots vs. Eudicots

Answer 4

Monocots - Parallel venation

Eudicots - Branching network venation

Question 5

Vascular bundles

Answer 5

Arrangement of xylem & phloem vascular tissues

Note: Xylem cells are dead at maturity, but phloem cells are alive. Also, xylem & phloem tissues DON’T have nuclei

Question 6

STEMS

Monocots vs. Eudicots

Answer 6

Monocots - Vascular bundles found throughout ground tissue

Eudicots - Vascular bundles form ring

Question 7

Vascular cylinder

Answer 7

Central core of the stem & root of a plant; Contains xylem & phloem tissue

Question 8

ROOTS

Monocots vs. Eudicots

Answer 8

Monocots - Circular

Eudicots - X-shaped

Question 9

Herbaceous vs. Woody

Answer 9

Herbaceous - Plants with stems that don’t have wood

Woody - Plants with stems that contain wood

Question 10

Structure of Woody stems:

Vascular cambium & cork cambium

Answer 10

Vascular cambium - Meristematic cell layer in vascular tissue. Xylem tissue in on inside, phloem on outside. A layer of each is produced every year.

Cork cambium - Meristematic layer in a woody plant that produces cork
