LOWER PLANTS
The three groups
What are bryophytes, lycophytes, and pterophytes
Flowering plants
What is covered seeds, survive in more habitats than gymnosperms, angiosperms?
Kingdom
What is kingdom plantae?
Stomata
What is a small opening which regulates the exchange of CO2 and O2 gases?
Basic root functions
What is Absorption, Anchoring, Storage, Vegetative reproduction & competition?
Plant evolution
What is maintaining water, obtaining resources, support, reproduction, and dispersal of offspring?
Two groups
What is monocot and dicot
Characteristics
What is a naked seed, pollination by wind and insects, adapted to live in areas with infrequent water or in nitrogen-poor soil of a bog?
Attachment to stems
What is the attachment point is known as a node and the internode is the section between nodes?
Different kinds of roots
What are Fibrous roots, Taproots, Adventitious roots, and Tuberous roots?
Alteration of Generations
What is haploid generation produces egg and sperm, and diploid generation produces spores?
Monocots
What are monocots having one cotyledon, parallel veins in leaves, flower parts are usually in multiples of three, and scattered vascular bundles in the stem?
Female and male differences
What is male is a cluster of pine cones, and grows in the lower branches; the female is just a pine cone that grows in the upper branches where they can be fertilized easier?
Reproductive organs of angiosperms
What is located in the stem and contains transport tubes known as xylem and phloem?
Corn prop roots
What are adventitious roots that have an advantage and improved chances of growth and survival?
Plant Kingdom: 4 main groups
What are nonvascular plants, seedless vascular plants, naked seed plants, and flowering plants
Dicots
What are dicots having two cotyledons, veins in leaves usually net-like, flower parts in of fours or fives, ring-shaped vascular bundles in the stem?
Microspores and Megaspore
What is a microspore/ male gametophytes/ pollen grains; megaspore/ female gametophyte/ ovulre?
Xylem tissue
What is includes dead cells that form tubes to transport water and minerals up from roots to the rest of the plant?
Monocot roots
What is a fibrous root system that is highly branched with individual roots that are relatively long and thin?
Ploidy
What is either haploid (n) or diploid (2n)?
Parts of the flower
What is the pistil, stigma, style, ovary, sepal, petal, stamen, anther, filament, receptacle, and pedicel?
Phylum Coniferophyta
What is the dominant phylum, the greatest variety of species, the seed is the major dispersal stage, a single plant carries both male and female reproductive structures?
Phloem tissue
What is consists of living cells and distributes sugars from photosynthesis in the leaves down-ward to all parts of the plant including the underground root system?
A tuberous root
What is a modified root used for storing food, most commonly in the form of carbohydrates?
