Plant Parts and Functions
roots
What stage of the cell cycle does a cell spend most of its time in?
interphase
red and blue
What classification of plants contain fruits and flowers?
angiosperms
This plant hormone is responsible for meristematic growth and apical dominance
auxin
This part of the plant synthesizes food for the plant through photosynthesis
What are the 3 stages of Interphase?
G1, Synthesis, and G2
Which color of light encourages flowering?
red
What classification of plants contain cones?
gymnosperms
This plant hormone is a gas and its responsible for ripening fruit.
ethylene
This part of the plant supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
stem
In which phase of Mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
metaphase
What are the 3 types of plants in terms of light and dark periods?
short-day, long-day, and day neutral
What are the 3 stages of plant growth?
germination, vegetative development, and reproductive development
This plant hormone is responsible for lengthening stems and creating larger fruits
gibberellin
What is a flower called that has both male and female parts?
perfect flower
The process of Mitosis results in how many daughter cells?
Which color initiates vegetative growth in plants?
blue
This process occurs in the chloroplasts and produces glucose.
photosynthesis
This plant hormone is responsible for slowing the rate of death in plants and flowers
cytokinin
A fruit is really what part of a plant?
mature/swollen ovary
In which stage of the cell cycle is the cell membrane cleaved to form new daughter cells?
cytokinesis
What is the loss of water in leaves through the stomata called?
transpiration
This process occurs in the mitochondria and creates energy for plant process
cellular respiration
This plant hormone is used when a plant is under stress. It regulates water loss through the stomata.
abscisic acid
