CLASSIFICATION
Flowering plants belong to the Phylum ___________.
What is ANTHOPHYTA?
Plants have these two main types of organs.
What are VEGETATIVE and REPRODUCTIVE?
Organisms like plants, chromists, and photosynthetic bacteria that can produce their own food are called these.
What are AUTOTROPHS?
This is a common term shared by different fluids carried by the xylem and phloem.
What is SAP?
These are messenger molecules typically produced by one tissue to produce a response in another tissue.
What are HORMONES?
Many people decorate a member of this phylum for Christmas.
What is CONIFEROPHYTA?
The edible part of carrot is this part of the plant.
What is the ROOT?
Plants fortify their cell walls with this tough fiber, similar to chitin in fungi.
What is CELLULOSE?
Adhesion causes water to rise into a thin tube above the level of the water, just like liquid going up a thin straw. This phenomenon is called _____________.
What is CAPILLARY ACTION?
When a response is independent of direction, it is called ______________ and is based on turgor pressure changes.
What is NASTIC MOVEMENT?
What is BRYOPHYTA?
Cells that are undergoing mitosis are usually found in this plant tissue.
What is MERISTEMATIC tissue?
Plants reproduce sexually by ____________, which is a cycle of spore-forming and gamete-forming stages.
What is ALTERNATION OF GENERATION?
In plant physiology, cells requiring large amount of sugar are called _________ and cells that make the sugars are called _________.
What are SINKS and SOURCES?
Directionally dependent responses are called ________.
What are TROPISMS?
The general term used for all plants that bear seeds in cones.
A layer of spring wood and a layer of summer wood equals this.
What is an ANNUAL RING?
This plant tissue produces the cuticle, a waxy substance that protects the leaves, green stems, and fruit
What is DERMAL TISSUE?
The process of moving and transporting large quantities of water from the ground through a plants leaves into the atmosphere is called ___________.
What is TRANSPIRATION?
A common gardening practice called pruning is an effective way to encourage bushier plants by discouraging apical growth and promoting lateral growth. Pruning basically removes this hormone from apical meristems.
What are AUXINS?
Vascular seedless plants belong to phylum ________.
What is PTERIDOPHYTA?
This layer of tightly packed parenchyma cells on the upper surface of a dicot leaf are responsible for a majority of photosynthetic activity in the plant.
What is the PALISADE MESOPHYLL?
Plant gametes fuse to form a zygote that develops into a _________. This in turn develops into the spore-forming stage.
What is a MULTICELLULAR EMBRYO?
The action of moving sugar through the phloem is likened to the movement and rush of water from a spigot into a hose creating a difference in pressure. This is the basis for ____________ to explain how sugars are distributed throughout the plant.
By plant roots holding soil in place, lessening the force of moving water and acting as windbreaks, plants greatly help in controlling ___________.
What is EROSION?
