Classification
Plants are classified into two different groups by how they reproduce.
Seed or Seedless Plants
This very thin layer covers the leaves and helps by providing protection and a barrier to keep water in the leaves and stem.
cuticle
All non-vascular plants reproduce with _______.
spores
The process of photosynthesis is essential because it produces ____________ from Sun's energy which will be stored and later used by the plant as food energy.
glucose
Plants are this type of cell.
eukaryotic
One way plants can be classified is if they have roots, stems and tubes or if they do not have roots or tubes.
Vascular or Non-vascular plants
Plants such as cactus are able to go longer periods of time without water than many other plants because their leave have a very thick _____________ layer.
spongy
Vascular plants that reproduce with seeds in cones are called __________________.
gymnosperms
Plants ripen and grow in response to ____________.
Hormones and gases
All plant cells have a ______________ which gives them shape and structure.
Vascular seed plants can be classified into two different groups by where they store their seeds.
Angiosperms or Gymnosperms
This is the openings in the leaves that allows the exchange of gases and water.
stomata
Angiosperms are seed plants that produce these.
flowers and fruit
These two processes have opposite reactants and products. One has the purpose of storing energy while the other has the purpose of releasing energy.
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
This type of vascular tissue carries water from the roots, up through the stem to the rest of the plant.
xylem
Monocots and Dicots are two ways that ______________ can be further classified.
Angiosperms
Photosynthesis is carried out in the ___________ of plant cells while respiration occurs in the _________.
photosynthesis----- chloroplasts
respiration -------- mitochondria
Name a way other than spores that a plant can reproduce a-sexually.
budding or cuttings
All plants respond to their environment. Plants respond to light, gravity and touch. These are all examples of ___________.
tropism
Name two types of stems.
Woody or Bendable
These things are necessary for an organism to be classified as a plant.
contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis
contains a cell wall and large central vacuole
is stationary
These regulate how much water, oxygen or carbon dioxide will enter or exit the leaves.
guard cells
Name the stems of the making of a seed.
Pollination
Fertilization
Germination
Both of these processes release water from the stomata.
cellular respiration and transpiration
This is where new xylem and phloem are made.
cambium
