Term
Nonvascular Plants
Definition
oldest plants, very simple
Term
Nonvascular Plants
Definition
No roots, stems or leaves. Multicellular, Do photosynthesis, reproduce, complex cells.
Term
Nonvascular Plants
Definition
They live in water or next to water.
Term
Cuticle
Definition
waxy covering used to prevent loss of water to the air
Term
stomata
Definition
pores
Term
Stomata (pores) surrounded b guard cells
Definition
guard cells swell up and prevent gases from going in and out of the plant to prevent evaporation
Term
Most well developed nonvascular plant
Definition
Moss
Term
Rhizoids
Definition
primitive roots: help hang on and absorb water (moss have them)
Term
examples of nonvascular plants
Definition
Liverwort and Bryophyta (Moss)
Term
Vascular plants
Definition
1st evolved 450 years ago: relatively new
Term
Vascular Plants
Definition
Generally bigger than nonvascular: Have leaves for a bigger space to capture light and make more food. Stems have tissues that allow food and water to flow through the plant. Roots absorb water from deep in the soil. Pollen- sperm did not have to swim through the water anymore, now it could float in the air. Seeds protect embryo from drying out with their shell.
Term
Plant tissue
Definition
uses: for protection, some for photosynthesis
Term
Xylem
Definition
move water around the plant, aren’t living but were once alive: left behind cell walls which make an empty strong tube. Die when stacked on top the other
Term
Phloem
Definition
move the food through xylem for storage
Term
Root
Definition
designed to store food & store water. Also absorbs other nutrients
Term
Root hair
Definition
grab on and absorb more water than the root
Term
3 zones (of roots)
Definition
Meristematic: new cells are produced; baby cells are soft so they are protected by the root cap
Zone of elongation: where new cells grow
Zone of differentiation: where new cells become different tissues
Term
Meristematic Root zone
Definition
new cells are produced; baby cells are soft so they are protected by the root cap
Term
Stem
Definition
Transport water & Nutrients, support leaves and flowers, used for storage
Term
Pith Cells
Definition
itty bitty cells for storage
Term
Vascular bundles
Definition
areas of xylem and phloem together (X circle)
Term
Vascular Cambian
Definition
outer edge of circle that forms more xylem and phloem cells
Term
dicot
Definition
organized, around edged
Term
monocot
Definition
very random
Term
multicellular
Definition
are plants multicelllar or cellular
Term
eukaryotic (you-keri-otic)
Definition
kind of cells a plant has
Term
sexualand asexual
Definition
how plants reproduce
Term
angiosperm
Definition
flower (also called)
Term
gymnosperms
Definition
cones (also called)
Term
Angiosperm
Definition
types of ____: monocots & dicots
Term
monocots
Definition
1 leaf, parallel veins, multiples of 3, ex: grasses, grains
Term
dicots
Definition
more than 1 leaf, have network of veins, flower parts of 4/5, have a taproot ex: woody plants, roses, sunflowers
Term
Palisade layer (of leaf)
Definition
layer of cells towards top of leaf, very closely stacked, absorb as much sunlight as possible
Term
spongy layer (of leaf)
Definition
very spaced apart so gases can circulate, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and the spongy layer lets it in
Term
flower
Definition
aids in the dispersal of pollen
Term
4 layers of flowers
Definition
-Whorl 1 (Calyx)- contains the sepals, encloses and protects the flower bud
-Whorl 2 (Corolla)- contains the petals, attracts insects and other pollen-bearing animals to the flower
-Whorl 3 (Androecium)- contains the stamens: male reproductive organ made of filament and anther
-Whorl 4 (Gynoecium)- contains the pistil: female reproductive organs made of the stigma, style, and ovary)
Term
4
Definition
number of parts flowers have
