100

This is the waxy layer that protects plants.

What is a cuticle?
100

Organisms such as plants that make their own food inside themselves are called this.  

What are producers?
100
Nonvascular plants do not have this waxy layer that helps to keep water in.
What is the cuticle?
100

Seedless plants reproduce by using these.

What are spores?

100
Plants such as potatoes, carrots, and radishes store food here.
What are the roots?
200
One advantage of plants living on land is this.
What is plenty of sunlight or carbon dioxide?
200
This cell part is where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
200
Nonvascular plants have root-like structures called this.
What are rhizoids?
200

Vascular seedless plants are taller than non-vascular seedless plants because of this reason.

What is they have vascular tissue?

200
They support the branches and leaves.  Also, their vascular tissues transport water, nutrients, and food.  They can be woody or herbaceous.
What are stems?
300
Tubelike cells that transport water and nutrients in some plants are called this.
What is vascular tissue?
300
Here, plants store large amounts of water and dissolved nutrients.
What is the vacuole or central vacuole?
300
These small, green plants are found in moist environments make a useful additive the potting soil because they retain large amounts of water.
What are mosses?
300
Because they are vascular, you would be able to find these that anchor the plant to the soil.
What are roots?
300
This type of vascular tissue carries dissolved sugars made from photosynthesis throughout the plant.
What is the phloem?
400
Three ways that seeds are disbursed.
What is wind, water, humans, or animals?
400

A plant cell differs from an animal cell because it contains these two cell parts.

What are cell walls and chloroplasts?

400
Materials move from cell to cell by diffusion and osmosis because they do not have these.
What are tube-like structures or vascular tissue?
400
The leaf of a fern.
What is a frond?
400
The layer of issue that produces new vascular tissue.
What is the cambium?
500

This is an organic compound made of chains of glucose molecules used to build a strong cell wall to support the plant.

What is cellulose?
500
What cell part breaks down food to release and obtain energy?
What is the mitochondria?
500
Many scientists refer to all seedless nonvascular plants as this term.
What are bryophytes?
500
These plants contain a hollow stem and tissues that contain silica, a mineral that makes it abrasive.  They were once used for scrubbing pots.  They resemble a horse's tail.
What are horsetails?
500

This vascular tissue carries water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the stem and leaves.

What is the xylem?
