Classification
This is the branch of science concerned with classification of living things.
What is taxonomy?
Plants produce their own food through this process using light energy.
What is photosynthesis?
These are the inorganic reactants in photosynthesis
What are carbon dioxide and water?
These are the four phyla of plants.
What are bryophyta, pterophyta, coniferophyta, and anthophyta?
This term means "naked seed" because the seed lie "naked" on the cone scales and not surrounded by a container.
What is gymnosperm?
This is the broadest category of taxonomic classification.
What is kingdom?
An organisms that produces its own food is termed this.
What is an autotroph?
These are the products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
These are examples of Phylum Anthophyta.
What are the flowering plants - tulips, roses, grasses, broad leafed trees, shrubs, etc.
What are the two types of vascular tissue called?
What are xylem and phloem?
This is the most specific taxonomic classification of organisms.
What is species?
Organisms in kingdom Plantae have these characteristics.
What are: multicellular, eukaryotic, conduct photosynthesis, have cell walls, form cell plates during cytokinesis, and have alternations of generations?
This is the balanced equation of photosynthesis.
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
These are examples of phylum bryophyta.
What are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts?
These types of vascular tissue are responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
What are xylem?
Living things have these characteristics.
What are: made of cells, maintain homeostasis, have complex chemistry, grow and develop, reproduce, and respond to stimuli?
This is the most important criteria for distinguishing between different groups of plants.
What is vascular tissue?
This 17th century scientist conducted an experiment that showed plants do not convert soil to tissue.
Who is Jan Baptiste van Helmont?
These are examples of phylum Pterophyta.
What are ferns?
These vascular structures are responsible for transporting food down to the roots of the plant.
What are phloem?
These are some reasons why plants are important to other living organisms.
What is they are oxygen producers, they provide shelter for animals, they provide food and nutrition.
This is the name for the life-cycle of plants.
What is Alternation of Generations?
This scientist is credited with discovering photosynthesis by showing that light is essential to the process by which green plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Who is Jan Ingenhousz?
These are examples of Phylum Coniferophyta.
What are conifers or evergreens?
Cells that divide during this type of cell division are haploid (1N) (half the amount of original genetic information).
What is meiosis?
