Answer 3

about 10 phyla

Question 4

Angiosperms

Answer 4

Flowering vascular seed plants

Question 5

Monocot

Answer 5

Plants with one cotyledon per seed. Parallel veins.

Question 6

Dicots (Eudicots)

Answer 6

Plants with two cotyledon per seed . Branching veins

Question 7

Cotyledon

Answer 7

A leaflet modified to store food. An embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one or more of which are the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed.

Question 8

Seed

Answer 8

Plant embryo with food in a protective case

Question 9

Radicle

Answer 9

Embryonic root

Question 10

Plumule

Answer 10

Embryonic leaf

Question 11

Tissues

Answer 11

Cells with similar characteristics and function combine together in multicellular organisms to form these.

Question 12

Organs

Answer 12

Different types of tissues integrated to form these

Question 13

Four basic tissue types in angiosperms

Answer 13

Meristem, dermal, ground, and vascular

Question 14

Meristem Tissue

Answer 14

Function: Growth and repair

Question 15

Dermal tissue

Answer 15

Function: Protection from injury and dehydration, exchange of materials with the environment

Question 16

Guard cells

Answer 16

In dermal tissues, these cells form openings called stomata (stoma singular). Allows gasses to be exchanged with the environment

Question 17

Ground Tissue

Answer 17

Function: Photosynthesis, food storage, and mechanical support

Question 18

Vascular Tissue

Answer 18

Provides movement of materials through roots, stems, and leaves

Question 19

Xylem Tissue

Answer 19

A type of vascular tissue. This tissue is dead. Carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant

Question 20

Phloem Tissue

Answer 20

Transports sugar from one part of the cell to another. Living cells

Question 21

Vascular Cylinder

Answer 21

Vascular tissues found at the centre in a shaft

Question 22

Cortex

Answer 22

Stores materials for the plant

Question 23

Apical Meristem

Answer 23

Growing tip of the meristem tissue

Question 24

Root cap

Answer 24

Protects the apical meristem from soil erosion. Flakes off as it’s pushed into the soil

Question 25

Zone of cell division

Answer 25

Area above the apical meristem

Question 26

Zone of elongation

Answer 26

Once cell division stop, growth keeps happening in this area

Question 27

Zone of maturation

Answer 27

Cells may mature into adult tissues (dermal, ground, vascular)

Question 28

Epidermis

Answer 28

A single layer of dermal cells

Question 29

Herbaceous Stems

Answer 29

Soft and green, little growth in diameter, covered by epidermis, dicots and monocots

Question 30

Woody Stems

Answer 30

Hard and brown, considerable growth in diameter, covered by a corky bark. Dicots only

Question 31

Monocot Flowers

Answer 31

Typically arranged in multiples of 3 ( sepals, petals, stamens)

Question 32

Dicot flowers

Answer 32

Typically arranged in multiples of 4 or 5
