Stem Tissue
This tissue consists of Xylem and Phloem, which water and nutrients are conducted throughout the plant
What is vascular tissue?
This layer of the leaf is hydrophobic and is responsible for retaining moisture within the leaves
Cuticle
This protects roots as they grow downward and create new roots
Root cap
This part of the flower attracts pollinators to the anther
Petals
This produces cones and is primarily wind pollinated
Gymnosperm
This connects a single layer that covers and protects.
What is dermal tissue?
This is the pore that allows gas exchanges
Stomata/ Stoma
This can be found on the roots to increase surface area and water absorption
Root hairs
This part of the flower is responsible for protecting the budding flower during growth and preventing dehydration
Sepal
This produces flowers and relies primarily on pollinators for reproduction
Angiosperm
This type of tissue produces and stores sugars outside of the phloem
What is ground tissue?
This is a cell responsible for swelling and shrinking to allow for gas exchange in the stomata and water retainment
Guard cell
This is responsible for new root growth
Root meristem
The female reproductive parts of a flower
Carpel/ Pistil
Seeds are often encased in berries. What encapsules the seed to protect it?
Dermal tissues
The vascular cambium is responsible for
transporting water and sugars necessary for photosynthesis
Plants that are ground level in areas of high competition will have this shape of leaf to allow for more sunlight to be captured.
broad, long leaves.
Roots provide benefits to the soil and environment by
preventing soil erosion
Male reproductive parts of a flower
Stamen
Which reproductive style can disperse seeds throughout all climates and seasons?
Gymnosperms
This tissue is responsible for all new growth in plants and is found at the roots and the stem of the plant
Apical Meristem
This process occurs in the stomata to release water, creating a vacuum space in the stomata and driving water into the leaf from the xylem
Transpiration
What plants were removed from the beach ecosystem in florida that contributed to sand erosion?
sea oats/ dune grasses
Name the three parts of the female reproductive organ (carpel/pistil) & Name the two parts of the male reproductive organ
Stigma, Style, Ovary & Anther, Filament
Angiosperms rely on these methods to prevent self pollination
