Fungi
Fungi belong to this domain and kingdom.
What are Eukarya and Fungi?
What is indeterminate growth?
These green algae are the closest relatives to land plants
What are charophytes?
These two types of vascular tissue found in plants.
What are xylem and phloem?
Gymnosperms have “naked seeds,” while angiosperms have these.
What are contained seeds?
Fungi absorb nutrients by doing this.
What is secreting digestive enzymes and absorbing nutrients?
The plant tissues responsible for primary and secondary growth.
What are apical and lateral meristems?
This polymer prevents zygotes from drying out.
What is sporopollenin?
Xylem moves water and minerals in this direction.
What is upward (from roots to shoots)?
This structure develops from a fertilized ovary and aids in seed dispersal.
The thin filaments of fungal cells that form the feeding structure.
What are hyphae?
The outer protective layer of a plant.
What is the dermal tissue?
Name one major benefit and one drawback of plants moving to land.
What are more sunlight/less water?
Phloem primarily moves sugars in this direction.
What is from leaves to roots (source to sink)?
The sticky part of a flower’s carpel that catches pollen.
What is the stigma?
The mass of hyphae that forms the main body of a fungus.
What is the mycelium?
Route where water moves through cell walls and extracellular spaces.
What is the apoplastic pathway?
The five key adaptions that allowed plants to thrive on land include alternation of generations and these four others.
What are walled spores, apical meristems, cuticles, and stomata?
The type of leaf with a single unbranched vascular strand.
What is a microphyll?
The process that transfers pollen to the part of the plant containing ovules.
What is pollination?
The substance that makes up fungal cell walls.
What is chitin?
The process that carries water from roots to leaves via xylem.
What is transpiration?
This generation in plants is haploid and produces gametes by mitosis.
What is the gametophyte?
The reproductive organ that produces and houses spores in ferns.
What is a sorus?
The “double fertilization” in angiosperms produces these two products.
What are a zygote (2n) and endosperm (3n)?
