25
What are examples of monocots?
Psalms, grasses, chides, lilies
26
What are examples of dicots?
Oak, roses, cacti, and sunflower
27
Cotyledon
The food pouch that monocots and dicots have
28
Photosynthesis
The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food
29
Germination
Seed becoming a plant
30
Plantlets
Tiny plants that grow along the edges of a plant's leaves and fall off on their own.
31
Tuber
Underground stems from which new plants can grow
32
Runner
Above ground stems from which new plants can grow
33
Dormant
Inactive
34
Transpiration
The process by which plants release water vapor into the air through stoma
35
Stoma
One of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enables gas exchange to occur
36
Cellular respiration
The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
37
Chlorophyll
A green pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis
38
Ovary
In flowering plants, the lower part of a pistil that produces eggs in ovules
39
Ovule
After fertilization takes place it develops into a seed
40
Spongy layer
Carbon dioxide moves freely through here and xylem and phloem are found in this layer
41
Cuticle
Prevents leaf from water loss
42
Palisade layer
Contain many chloroplasts and carbon dioxide moves freely through here
43
Epidermis
A single layer of cells that beneath the cuticle
44
Xylem
The type of tissue in vascular plants that provides support and conducts water and nutrients from the root
45
Phloem
The tissue that conducts food in vascular plants
46
Fibrous root
Several roots that spread out from the plants stem
47
Taproot
One main root
48
Fertilization
Happens when sperm fuses with the egg inside an ovule
49
What advantages do vascular plants have over non vascular plants?
They have tubes to deliver water and nutrients and can grow taller and be in different locations
50
What importance do each play? Non vascular plants
They are pioneer species so they helped form soil
51
What importance do each play? Seedless vascular plants
Form soil and prevent soil erosion
52
What importance do each play? Vascular plants
Food and shelter for other organisms
53
What importance do each play? Gymnosperms
Make medications, paper and shelter
54
What importance do each play? Angiosperms
Makes perfume, food, and medication
55
What advantage do seeds provide for their plant?
They help protect baby plants, they spread easier, can live in harsh conditions
56
What is unique about each plant's method of reproduction? Seedless plant
Spores
57
What is unique about each plant's method of reproduction? Gymnosperms
Cones
58
What is unique about each plant's method of reproduction? Angiosperms
Flowers
59
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water Light energy ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️ glucose + oxygen
60
What can happen to glucose after it is made in photosynthesis?
It can be stored as starch or used as energy for cellular respiration
61
Why does a plant need cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
To move energy through the plant
62
What are the four methods of reproduction for angiosperms?
Sexual, tubers, plantlets, runners
63
How does a flower transform into a fruit/seed
Ovary holds ovule
64
What is the male reproductive part of a flower and what is it made of?
Stamen, made of anther and Filiment
65
What is the female reproductive part of the flower and what is it made if?
Pistil, it's made of stigma, style, and ovary
