Phyla – Bryophyta & Tracheophyta
This phylum includes nonvascular plants like mosses and liverworts.
What is Bryophyta?
Plants with xylem and phloem are called this.
What are vascular plants?
This part of the plant anchors it in the soil and absorbs water.
What are roots?
A monocot seed has this many cotyledons.
What is one?
This is the outer protective covering of a seed.
What is the seed coat?
This phylum includes vascular plants that have true roots, stems, and leaves.
What is Tracheophyta?
Water and nutrients move by diffusion in these types of plants.
What are nonvascular plants?
This part of the plant supports leaves and transports materials.
What is the stem?
A dicot seed has this many cotyledons.
What are two?
The young developing plant inside the seed.
What is the embryo?
Bryophytes absorb water directly through this part of their body instead of roots.
What is the surface or body of the plant (through diffusion)?
Vascular plants can grow taller than nonvascular plants because of this internal system.
What is the transport system (xylem and phloem)?
This part of the plant makes food through photosynthesis.
What are leaves?
The veins in monocot leaves are usually arranged in this pattern.
What is parallel?
The part of the seed that stores food for the embryo.
What is the cotyledon?
Ferns belong to this phylum.
What is Tracheophyta?
The xylem transports this substance throughout the plant.
What is water (and minerals)?
This part of the plant is responsible for reproduction.
What is the flower?
The veins in dicot leaves are arranged in this pattern.
What is branched (net-like)?
The process by which a seed begins to grow into a new plant.
What is germination?
Bryophytes must live in moist environments mainly because they lack this.
What are vascular tissues (xylem and phloem)?
This tissue transports food made in the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is the phloem?
This small opening on leaves controls gas exchange.
What is a stoma (plural: stomata)?
Flower parts in monocots are usually in multiples of this number.
What is three?
This condition is necessary for germination to occur, along with oxygen and the right temperature.
What is water (moisture)?
