Plant Basics
Plants are multicellular and make their own food using this process.
What is photosynthesis?
The organelle where photosynthesis happens.
What is the chloroplast?
Reproduction using seeds formed after pollination is called this type of reproduction.
What is sexual reproduction?
Mosses belong to this plant group.
What are bryophytes?
This plant part absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
What are roots?
This green pigment helps plants absorb sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
The large structure that stores water and keeps the plant cell firm.
What is the central vacuole?
Mosses and ferns reproduce using these instead of seeds.
What are spores?
Ferns have vascular tissue but do not produce these.
What are seeds?
This structure supports the plant and transports nutrients.
What is the stem?
Plants belong to this type of cells (prokaryotic or eukaryotic?).
What are eukaryotic cells?
The rigid outer layer that gives plant cells shape.
What is the cell wall?
The transfer of pollen from male to female parts of a flower.
What is pollination?
Pine trees are examples of this group.
What are gymnosperms?
This plant part is mainly responsible for photosynthesis.
What are leaves?
The gas plants take in for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
The transport tissue that moves water upward in plants.
What is xylem?
This structure protects and helps disperse seeds in flowering plants.
What is fruit?
Flowering plants are also called this.
What are angiosperms?
Tiny openings on leaves that allow gas exchange.
What are stomata?
The main structural material found in plant cell walls.
What is cellulose?
The transport tissue that moves sugars throughout the plant.
What is phloem?
A type of reproduction where a new plant grows from roots or stems without seeds.
What is asexual (or vegetative) reproduction?
Plants with vascular tissue have these two transport systems.
What are xylem and phloem?
The part of a flower that produces pollen.
What is the anther?
