root system
under soil
mesophyll

guard cell
opens and closes stomata
xylem

woody
plants without a soft stem (tree)
leaves > CUTICLE:

fibrous
plants that have several small branching out roots (flower)
taproot
plant that only have ONE big main root
vascular system
tissues transports nutrients and fluids through out the plant body
transpiration
vapor leaves plant via stomata
what happens when guard cells are open and closed
when open water leaves the plant and when closed water is trapped in the plant
4 groups of plants
mosses > non-vascular > moss
Ferns > seedless > evergreen tree
gymnosperms > cone bearing > many types of trees
angiosperms > flower bearing > sunflower
sexual production
two parent plants, seeds, pollen
asexual production
one parent parent plant, process of vegatitve propagation
which are male and which are female
stamen, pistil, anther, style, stima, filament, ovule, pollen
MALE >
stamen, anther, filament, pollen
FEMALE > pistil, stima, style, ovule
anther
pollen producing of the flower (M)
filament
slender stalk, supports anther (M)
pistil
female part of flower (F)
