roots
whats is one thing that roots absorbs
water
The leaf is attached to the stem at the
node
What do stomata do?
Stomata are tiny openings (usually on the underside of a leaf) that let carbon dioxide in and oxygen out. They also help regulate water release through transpiration
The male part of a flower is called the
stamen
usually single-seeded with a membranous wing is called
Samara
Root health is often closely linked to good soil
aeration
The growing point at the tip of the stem is called the
apical meristem
What is the role of veins (xylem and phloem)?
The xylem transports water and minerals up from the roots, while the phloem distributes manufactured food/sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
Flowers that have only male parts are called
staminate
Move away from the parent plant
disseminated
At the tip of the root, there is an area where new cells develop which is called the?
apical meristem
The movement of materials through vascular tissues is known as
translocation
What is photosynthesis?
It is the process where green leaves use sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water to make food and release oxygen
The female part of a flower is called the
pistil
composed of a single carpel and splits open along one suture.
follicle
A root system that is composed of one main primary root and many secondary roots branching off of the primary root is called a
taproot system
When bud scales fall off what is it called
bud scale scar
Why do cold-weather trees drop their leaves?
Shedding leaves helps trees conserve water and energy during freezing or dry winter conditions
Flowers that have only female parts are called
pistillate.
composed of more than one carpel that are united and form many-seeded fruits.
capsule
A system that has no dominant primary root but is made of many primary and secondary roots of similar size is called a ?
fibrous root system
When the leaf falls off of the stem it leaves behind a small scar just below the lateral bud what that scar called
leaf scar
Why do leaves change color in the autumn?
As days shorten and sunlight decreases, green chlorophyll breaks down, revealing hidden pigments like carotenoids (yellow/orange) and new anthocyanins (red/purple)
Below the stigma is a rod-shaped middle part called the
style
a type of capsule with a lid that falls from the fruit.
