What are the 4 plant hormones discussed?
Gibberellin, Auxins, Ethylene, Abscisic Acid
Give an example of a nonvascular plant.
Moss
What is tropism?
When plants move in response to external stimuli.
What are the PRODUCTS of photosynthesis?
Glucose, Oxygen
What hormone is associated with tropism and apical meristem?
Auxins
What are all the characteristics of plants?
Eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic, contains chloroplasts, and alternation of generations
What is hydrotropism?
Plants respond to water
What is xylem? What kind of pressure does it use?
Cells that move water and minerals up from the roots, negative pressure
Which hormone is produced by seeds to increase fruit size?
Gibberellin
What trait was added to vascular plants to create gymnosperms?
Seeds, NOT FLOWERS
Vascular seed plants
What is phototropism?
Plant responds to light
What is the dominant life stage of a nonvascular plant?
Which hormone is associated with fruit ripening?
Ethylene
What does it mean when a plant is vascular?
It has vessels
The plant can grow taller because vessels can bring water and nutrient up from the soil to the leaves.
What is geotropism?
Plants respond to gravity
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis- 2 exact replica daughter cells
Meiosis- 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes
Which two hormones are stress hormones?
Ethylene and Abscisic Acid
Order the plant groups from oldest to newest and give examples of each.
Nonvascular- moss
