Functions to thy Reproductions
The process by which a seed develops into a seedling
Germination
This plant lives for one growing season
Annual
The process of aging that leads to death
Senescence
This influence of the shoot tip, inhibits growth of lateral buds, reducing branching
Apical dominance
Mitosis or Meiosis
- Microspore mother cell becoming microspores
Meiosis
Transfer of pollen from a stamen to a pistil
Pollination
This type of plant lives for many growing seasons
Perennial
A process in which the plant seals off its connection to a leaf, causing the leaf to fall off and die
Abscission
A plant is engulfed in light all throughout the day, yet grows straight upwards
Gravitropism
Mitosis or Meiosis
- Microspore becoming pollen grains
Mitosis
Asexual reproduction in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant
Vegetative reproduction
These types of trees drop their needles continuosly instead of all at once.
Evergreens, conifers
The process or state in which normal physical functions are suspended or slowed down
Dormancy
Bacteria make this in the soil for plants to grow big and strong ;)
Nitrate (Nitrate fixation)
Mitosis or Meiosis
- Megaspore mother cell becoming megaspores
meiosis
The endosperm is all used up. What will the little plant embryo rely on to make food for itself?
Plumule
Photoreceptors in bacteria, animals, and plants that detect blue and ultraviolet light and contribute to their circadian rythms
Cryptochromes
The process that produces low pressure in the leaves, which pulls water into the leaf. Because of cohesion, all the water molecules below are pulled up as well.
Transpiration
A plants is increasing its transpiration. What is happening in the xylem
More water and nutrients are are flowing through the xylem
Mitosis or Meiosis
-Megaspore becoming an embryo sac
Mitosis
Once a pollen grain lands on the ____ of a pistil, the tube nucleus forms a pollen tube that goes down to the embryo sac, which contains a total of ____ cells, one of which has two haploid nuclei.
Stigma, Seven
The movement of a solute due to osmotic pressure from a source to a sink
Pressure-flow
The the three chemicals nitrogen is converted into in order for plants to be able to use it
Ammonium, nitrite, nitrate. Bacteria do the conversion.
Auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene are all ...
Phytohormones
This has seven cells. Six have a single haploid nuclei, and one of the mis the egg cell. There is also a larger, central cell that has two haplod nuclei.
Embryo
