Term
spore
Definition
the diploid embryo found in both primitive plants like moss and ferns, as well as fungi
Term
seed
Definition
a plant embryo that contains not only a baby plant, but also a food source called a cotyledon
Term
monocot
Definition
a class of flowering plants that has veins parallel to the center vein, one cotyledon and flower parts in threes or multiples of threes
Term
stamen
Definition
the male part of the flower
Term
phloem
Definition
vascular tissue that transports the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
Term
gymnosperm
Definition
this group of tracheophytes has "naked seeds" and leaves all year round
Term
pollination
Definition
the transfer of pollen from one flower to another
Term
carpel
Definition
the female part to a flower, also known as a pistil
Term
dicot
Definition
the classof flowering plants that has leaf veins that branch out away from the center vein, two cotyledon, and flower parts in fours and fives
Term
tracheophyte
Definition
the term used to describe a vascular plant that DOES NOT need water for its reproductive processes
Term
fruit
Definition
the swollen ovary of a flower that is tasty and used for seed dispersal by animals
Term
bryophyte
Definition
a non-vascular plant that is dependent on water for reproduction and has unspecialized parts
Term
stomata
Definition
the holes used for gas exchange, usually found on the underside of the leaf
Term
coevolution
Definition
the evolution of structures and behaviors in two different organisms in response to changes in each organism over time
Term
cuticle
Definition
the waxy covering that prevents water loss in plants
Term
xylem
Definition
vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots of the plant to the leaves
Term
fern
Definition
one of the first vascularlized plants that is known as the "missing link" of the plant kingdom because it still relys on water for reproduction
Term
plant
Definition
a multicellular, eukaryotic organism that has cell walls made of cellulose and is an autotroph
Term
pollen
Definition
plant sperm that is usually distributed by wind or animals
Term
angiosperm
Definition
the most highly evolved tracheophytes who use flowers as reproductive structures
Term
spore
Definition
the diploid embryo of the fungi
Term
protist
Definition
a eukaryote that is not a plant, animal, or fungi

Term
ascomycota
Definition
sac-like fungi
