Plant Families
Chestnuts and beech tress belong to this plant family.
What is Fagaceae?
This part of a plant holds up an individual floret?
What is a pedicel?
Markings that direct a pollinator towards the location of the nectar are called this.
What are nectar guides?
These are breaks in the outer bark that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are lenticels?
These are the two types of tissues that make up the vascular system of plants.
What are xylem and phloem?
Lettuce, artichoke, and canola belong to this plant family.
What is Asteraceae?
The ovary compartments resulting from a compound ovary of multiple carpels are called this.
What are locules?
While nectar is high is sugar (carbohydrates), the primary resources provided by pollen is this.
What is protein (amino acids)?
If cork is a waterproof layer that replaces the epidermis during secondary growth, wood is composed of this.
What is secondary xylem?
After the polar nucleai are fertilized, this is produced to nourish the developing embryo.
What is endosperm?
Blueberries, cranberries, and rhododendron belong to this plant family.
What is Ericaceae?
The part of the plant that suspends an inflorescence or a cluster of fruit is called this.
What is a peduncle?
When petals and sepals are both colorful; collectively, they are called this.
What are tepals?
These are sites of stem elongation and thickening.
What are apical meristems?
Osmosis is the movement of water from where solutes are less concentrated to where they are more concentrated. Plants store extra salt in their cells so they maintain this type of strength provided by being full of water.
What is turgor pressure?
Citrus fruits belong to this plant family.
What is Rutaceae?
If leaflets attach to the rachis of a pinnately compound leaf, this part of the leaf attaches to the stem.
What is a petiole?
While primary nectar sites are often in the base of flowers, these provide nectar in other regions of the plant.
What are extrafloral nectaries?
The type of arial roots that provide additional structural support at the lowest node of a plant stem are called this.
What are stilt roots?
While collenchyma are the long plant tissues that give stems their structural support, this type of tissue gives pears their gritty texture.
What is sclerenchyma?
Buttercups, larkspur, and columbine belong to this plant family.
What is Ranunculaceae?
Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata. When they are open, this allows for the escape of water, which is a process called this.
What is transpiration?
These features of some plants that protects an entire inflorescence before blooming and, in some species, are showy to attract pollinators.
What are bracts?
While corms are starchy stems, like; taro, water chestnut, and gladiolus, that also provide features used for asexual propagation, starchy leaf bases are called this.
What are bulbs?
If photosynthetic plant tissues that contain chlorophyll absorb shorter wavelengths of light (blue/violet) and long wavelengths of light (red), therefore, reflecting the unabsorbed green; this pigment absorbs green and reflects the longer wavelengths (yellows/oranges).
What is carotene?
