Plant Cells 2.0. Flashcards
(86 cards)
Examples are Mosses, liverworts
Nonvascular
More dependent on ample water
Nonvascular
Lack roots, leaves or stems
Nonvascular
Nonvascular have this instead of roots
Rhizoids
More than 90% of all modern plants
Vascular
They have roots for water absorption and
support
Vascular
Leaves have chlorophyll for photosynthesis
Nonvascular
Nonvascular leaves are covered with
Cuticle
Nonvascular leaves provide this with gaseous exchange
Pores
Plant Diversification
Lignin
Bud Scales
Seeds
Cells walls of new plants are harder. Caused woody plants to grow much taller than
other plants
Lignin
Protect them from winter’s cold
Bud scales
A protective structure that contains a plant
embryo and stored food
Seeds
Include all the nonvascular plants
1. Mosses
2. Liverworts
3. hornworts
Bryophyta
classified into seedless plants and
seed plants
Vascular plants
Seed Plants
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms
Producing seeds that lack a protective fruit like bamboo
Gymnosperms
Producing seeds enclosed and protected by a
fruit. Flowering plants
Angiosperms
Only one cotyledon
like Lilies, orchids, corn
Monocot
Have two cotyledons
Roses, beans, clovers
Dicot
To absorb water and minerals
Roots
Vascular tissue, the cortex, surround the
vascular cylinder. Grow deep into the soil
Dicot roots
The vascular tissue forms a ring that surrounds
a central region of cells called pith
Monocot Roots
Separated the cortex from the vascular cylinder
Endodermis
