Kingdom Plantae Flashcards
(24 cards)
ovules
egg cells
ovary
protects seed and is the fruit
pistil
pollen travels through here
stamen
provides support
stigma
traps pollen
anther
makes pollen
xylem
carries water absorbed by the plant’s roots up into the leaf
phloem
the food made during photosynthesis enters the phloem and travels down the plant
multicellular
made up of more than one type of cell
monocots
- 1 cotyledon
- parallel veins
- bundles of vascular tissue scattered throughout the stem
- flower parts in threes
dicots
- 2 cotyledons
- branching veins
- bundles of vascular tissue arranged in a ring
- flower parts in 4s or 5s
cuticle
a waxy, waterproof coating controls water loss
upper leaf cells
tightly packed cells trap the energy in sunlight
lower leaf cells
widely spaced cells allow carbon dioxide to reach cells for photosynthesis, and oxygen to escape into the air
stomata
`when the tiny pores called stomata open, carbon dioxide enters the leaf while oxygen and water vapor move out
photosynthetic equation
carbon dioxide+water–light energy–>sugar+oxygen
6 CO2 + 6 H2O –light energy–> C6H1206 + 6 O2
surface cells
protect the skin of the root
vascular tissue
xylem and phloem
root hairs
absorb water and nutrients from the soil. extension of surface cells . very thin
area of diving cells
actual growth occurs. growth pushes the root cap down.
root cap
digs down into soil pushing aside and squeezes between rock and soil. the growing part of the root.
eukaryotic
have cell walls
autotrophic
can make it’s own food
have cell walls
support and structure to help the plant grow up against gravity
