Plant Groups
What do plants need
What is Sun, Water, Air and Soil?
How can you tell if a plant is a dicot from its leaves
What is a Dicot leaves usually have a branching, web-like pattern of veins, unlike monocots, where veins run parallel?
What are the main stages of a flowering plants's life cycle
What is Seed, Germination, Seedling, Adult Plant, Reproduction, and Seed/Fruit Development?
What are nonvascular plants
What is a plant that lacks specialized Vascular tissues for transporting water and nutrients, relying instead on direct absorption and diffusion?
What are Angiosperms
What is the flowering plants, defined by having flowers and fruits that enclose their seeds?
What do roots do
What is the anchor that the plant absorbs water and minerals from the soil?
What's tupocal for a dicot flower
What is Flower parts are generally found in multiples of four or five, such as 4, 8, 10 petals or 5, 10, 15 stamens?
What is needed for a seed to germinate
What is Water, Oxygen, Suitable Temperature, and light?
Why ar they small
What is without vascular tissue to move substances long distances, they must stay close to water on the ground, growing short and low?
What ar the main parts of a flower
What is Sepals, petals, stamen, and pistil/carpel?
What dose the stem do
What is holds the plant up and carries water/nutrients to leaevs an flowers?
What kind of root system do dicots have
What is most dicots have a main, thick taproot that grows downwards, with smaller roots branching off, whereas monocots have fibrous roots?
What is Pollination
What is tranfer of pollen from the male part to the female part ofa flower, often by wind, water, or animals?
How do they get water and nutrients
What is they absorb water and minerals directly from their surroundings through their cell walls, relying on osmosis and diffusion
What is double fertilization
What is a unique angiosperm process where one sperm fertilizes the egg and another fertilizes the polar nuclei?
What do leaves do
What is making food for the plant using sunlight?
What's the main difference in stem structure
What is in dicot stems, the vascular bundles are arranged in a distinct ring, while in monocots, they are scattered?
What is Photosynthesis
What is procces where leaves use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food for the plant, using chlorophyll?
How do they reproduce
What is they reproduce using spores, not seeds or flowers, and need external water for sperm to swim to the egg?
How do they reproduce
What is Polination leads to fertilization, forming seeds within ovaries that develop into fruits?
What's the function of a flower
What is to produce seeds and fruit for new plants?
How do dicots differ form monocots
What is dicots have two cotyledons, net veins, flower parts in 4s.5s, taproots, and ringed stem bundles. Monocots have on cotyuledon, parallel veins, flower parts in 3s, fibrous roots, scattered stem bundles?
How do seeds get dispersed
What is by wind, water, animals, or explosion?
What are the main parts of their life cycle
What is they have a dominant, long-lived gametophyte stage that produces gametes, and a shorter-lived sporophyte stage that produces spores from structures like the capsule?
What is the function of flower color
What is attracting specific pollinators like bees or birds, ensuring successful reproduction?
