The process that plants use to produce their food and give off oxygen is called
photosynthesis
100
cells that move sugars up, down, and all around a plant are called
phloem
100
Small plants such as mosses which survive without a transport system are called
nonvascular plants
100
Roots absorb minerals and water, store food and
anchor plants
100
What is the function of a plants cambium layer?
Produce new cells
200
when water moves up the vascular tubes through the stomata, what happens?
transpiration
200
A layer in the plant stem that separates xylem and phloem is called the
cambium
200
Plants that have a system of hollowed-out tubes or transport water and nutrients are called
vascular plants
200
Root hairs absorb water and minerals. What protects root tips??
Root caps
200
What is the function of guard cells in leaves?
Regulate transpiration of water
300
The break down of sugars in plant and animal cells to produce energy is called
cellular respiration
300
A seed plant that does NOT produce flowers or fruit is called
gymnosperm
300
The epidermis is on the outside of the root. The next layer is the
cortex
300
What is the end result of photosynthesis?
Sugar and oxygen
400
Cells that transport water and minerals from roots to shoots in plants are called
xylem
400
A seed plant that produces flowers and some kind of fruit is called
Angiosperm
400
At the center of the root is the
vascular system
400
Why do different kids of plants have different kinds of roots?
They have different kinds of roots based on their environment.
Dry climate roots go down far for water.
We climate roots stay close to the top soil for water.
