Plant Anatomy Part 2
A plant that is unaffected by day length.
Day Neutral Plant
A plant that flowers as days lengthen in the spring and early summer is classified as a
Long day plant
True or False. The purpose of a flower is to enable a plant to reproduce sexually by producing seeds
True
True or False. A plant can have complete flowers and be monoecious
True
True or False. The style usually has a sticky surface on which the pollen lands
False
A flowering plant that produces seeds within a fruit
Angiosperm
Is a fine to coarse powdery substance consisting of an immature male gametophtiohyte
pollen
Is a photoreceptor within plants that detects day length
phytochrome
True or False. Chloroplasts are general located in the cells of the vessel elements found in leaves.
False
True or False. Corn, soybeans, and sunflowers are all C4 plants.
True
A plant that produces seed exposed or borne on the scales of cones
gymnosperm
A plant that flowers naturally in late summer and fall when the day lengths get shorter is said to be a
short day plant
the initiation of flowering once a cold requirement has been satisfied is known as
vernalization
A plant that uses the Calvin cycle to fix carbon during the light independent reactions.
C3 plant
A type of inflorescence that has a fixed endpoint, with a terminal flower usually opening first, the progression of flowering downward or outward
Determinate
Producing both male and female flowers on the same point
monecious
a type of inflorescence that can continue growing from the tip, producing more flowers indefinitely
indeterminate
A plant response to day and night temperatures
thermoperiodism
the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic compounds by living organisms.
carbon fixation
Specialized cells that form a tightly packed ring around the veins of a leaf
Bundle sheath cells
flower that has either male or female parts
imperfect flower
A series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy.
Light Dependent
A complex carbohydrate that is the main structural component of cell walls
cellulose
A fluid-filled region inside the chloroplast membrane that contains most of the crucial enzymes require for photosynthesis
Stroma
the fundamental particle of visible light.
