Naming
The most general taxon used in classifying organisms
What is Kingdom?
Carries water
What is xylem?
converts stored food into energy; "Powerhouse" of the cell
What are mitochondria?
Great flower for the shade, has small colorful flowers. We grew from plug.
Impatiens
The 3 stages of plant growth (in order).
What is germination, vegetative development, and reproductive development?
Our canteloupe seeds say Cucumis melo on the seed packet. Cucumis melo is the:
Scientific name OR genus and species
Carries food and nutrients
What is phloem?
Rigid and stiff structure surrounding the cell membrane. It provides shape and support to the cells and protects them.
What is the cell wall?
Has thick, waxy leaves- if they are red, they do well in the sun, if they are green, they do well in the shade. We grew from plugs.
What are begonias?
The process of converting light energy to chemical energy
What is photosynthesis?
The result of cross-pollinating 2 different plant varieties and growing the seed the mix produces.
What is hybrid?
The cell type most likely to remain totipotent
controls what enters and leaves the cell
What is the cell membrane?
Commonly come in reds, oranges, and yellow. We grew many of these from seed.
What are marigolds?
process that occurs when a cell releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Respiration
"Better Boy" represents this on the tomato label.
Cultivar or variety
The ability of a plant cell to divide, grow and differentiate into new cells
What is totipotency?
Control center of the cell, carries all of the information used to help a cell grow and reproduce. Contains DNA.
What is DNA?
Has beautiful, bright pink and dark purple flowers that hang upside down and resemble a fancy ball gown.
What is fuchsia?
Used in photosynthesis, produced in respiration
What is CO2 and H2O?
The correct order of plant taxonomic hierarchy
What is Kingdom, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
Found in plants and animals, contain a nucleus, and have membrane-bound organelles
What are eukaryotic cells?
Location of photosynthesis
What are chloroplasts?
Have small leaves and bright colorful flowers. We grew purslane from plugs, which is sometimes called the same plant as this one that we planted from seed.
What is portulaca or moss rose?
In a siphon fertigation system, the reason you must avoid using devices that stop flow after the siphon
The siphon will add the water to the mixture, diluting the solution
