Question 1

The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus.

Answer 1

Mycelium

Question 2

In animals, the female gonad, which produces egg cells and reproductive hormones. (2) In flowering plants, the basal portion of a carpel in which the egg-containing ovules develop.

Answer 2

Ovary

Question 3

Organism that derives its nutrition from a living host, which is harmed by the interaction.

Answer 3

Parasite

Question 4

A modified leaf of a flowering plant. These structures are often the colorful parts of a flower that advertise it to pollinators.

Answer 4

Petal

Question 5

The portion of a plant’s vascular tissue system that conveys phloem sap throughout a plant. This tissue is made up of sieve-tube members.

Answer 5

Phloem

Question 6

The structure that will produce the sperm in seed plants; the male gametophyte.

Answer 6

Pollen Grains

Question 7

In seed plants, the delivery of pollen, by wind or animals, from the male parts of a plant to the stigma of a carpel on the female.

Answer 7

Pollination

Question 8

Member of a Ascomycete characterized by saclike structures called asci that produce spores in sexual reproduction.

Answer 8

Sac Fungus

Question 9

A plant embryo packaged with a food supply within a protective covering.

Answer 9

Seed

Question 10

A tough outer covering of a seed, formed from the outer section (integuments) of an ovule. In a flowering plant, this structure encloses and protects the embryo and endosperm.

Answer 10

Seed Coat

Question 11

The informal collective name for lycophytes (club mosses and their relatives) and pterophytes (ferns and their relatives).

Answer 11

Seedless Vascular Plants

Question 12

A modified leaf of a flowering plant. A whorl of sepals encloses and protects the flower bud before it opens.

Answer 12

Sepal

Question 13

A structure in fungi and plants in which meiosis occurs and haploid spores develop.

Answer 13

Sporangium

Question 14

In plants and algae, a haploid cell that can develop into a multicellular individual without fusing with another cell. (2) In prokaryotes, protists, and fungi, any of a variety of thick-walled life cycle stages capable of surviving unfavorable environmental conditions.

Answer 14

Spore

Question 15

The multicellular diploid form in the life cycle of organisms undergoing alternation of generations; results from a union of gametes and meiotically produces haploid spores that grow into the gametophyte generation.

Answer 15

Sporophyte

Question 16

A pollen-producing male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of a filament and an anther.

Answer 16

Stamen

Question 17

A plant with xylem and phloem, including club mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms, vascular tissue Plant tissue consisting of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body.

Answer 17

Vascular Plant

Question 18

A system formed by xylem and phloem throughout the plant, serving as a transport system for water and nutrients, respectively.

Answer 18

Vascular Tissue System

Question 19

The nonliving portion of a plant’s vascular system that provides support and conveys this substance (sap) from the roots to the rest of the plant. It is made up of vessel elements and/or tracheids, water-conducting cells.

Answer 19

Xylem

Question 20

A single-celled fungus that inhabits liquid or moist habitats and reproduces asexually by simple cell division or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell.

Answer 20

Yeast

Question 21

Member of a group of fungi characterized by a sturdy structure called a zygosporangium during sexual reproduction.

Answer 21

Zygomycete
