100
This structure supports the stem.
What are the roots?
100
This is the process by which cells divide.
What mitosis?
100
This is the first thing to emerge from a seed.
What is the radicle?
100
When the length of dark and light periods are equal.
What is day-neutral?
100
The condition causing plants to grow toward the light.
What is phototropism?
100
This process makes food for plants.
What is photosynthesis?
200
This structure is the major site of food production in plants.
What are the leaves?
200
This is the first phase of interphase.
What is G1 phase?
200
This portion of a seed contains the genetic information.
What is the embryo?
200
Growers can do this to increase light quantity for plants.
What is place reflective material or supplemental light around plants?
200
The plant hormone responsible for ripening.
What is ethylene?
200
This process breaks down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
What is respiration?
300
The part contains the vascular system of plants.
What are the stems?
300
What is metaphase?
300
These 3 things are essential for seed germination.
What are oxygen, water/moisture, and temperature?
300
These two light colors encourage flowering in plants.
What are blue and red?
300
This general category of hormone is applied to keep plants short.
What are growth inhibitors?
300
The loss of water through the leaves.
What is transpiration?
400
This is the primary function of flowers.
What is reproduction?
400
This is the final stage of mitosis.
What is telophase?
400
This phase is when plants begin their maturation process.
What is the flowering phase?
400
This must occur in order for plants to grow.
A. Photosynthesis > Respriation
B. Respiration > Photosynthesis
C. Photosynthesis = Respiration
What is A. Photosynthesis > Respiration
400
This hormone is applied to grapes to increase berry size.
What are gibberelins.
400
The structure by which leaves lose water.
What are stomata?
500
This item disperses seed to other locations.
What is the fruit?
500
This stage is when cells replicate their DNA.
What is synthesis phase?
500
This is the first stage in a plant's growth cycle.
What is germination?
500
The length of this period is critical to flower development.
What is the dark period?
500
This is applied to stems when we make cuttings.
What is rooting hormone?
500
The three things necessary for photosynthesis to occur in the chloroplasts.
What are water, CO2, and light?
