means naked seed and is comprised of pine trees, cycads and junipers

19

20
Q

seeds enclosed in a reproductive vessel

21
Q

angiosperm include both

A

monocots and eudicots

22
Q

Whats in all seeds that protects the embryo?

A

embryo, stored food, and seed coat

23
Q

What are examples of gymnosperms?

A

sequoia and juniper

24
Q

What is an example of an angiosperm?

25
Play principle role in carbohydrate absorption and production for the developing seed
cotyledons of angiosperms
26
Large, fleshy structure that store food and are first to perform photosynthesis as the seedling emerges from the soil
eudicots
27
serves only as an absorptive structure in monocots
scutellum
28
stored food reserves
endosperm
29
the first leaf of the plant embryo and will be the first part of a plant to emerge from the seed. It provides nutrients to the developing embryo and can be photosynthetic
cotyledon
30
Stem like structure below the cotyledon
hypocotyl
31
the meristem has developed an embryonic root
radicle
32
If the radicle has not developed, then the region below the cotyledons is called....
hypocotyl-root axis
33
above the cotyledons, the embryonic shoot with young leaves and apical meristem has formed
epicotyl
34
The stem has 2 main functions
conduction of carbs, minerals, water; also vital support organ for leaves, fruits, reproductive organs
35
main function of leaves
food production
