General Plant Knowledge
What type of plant production creates an artificial growing environment to protect weather susceptible plants for production and create a controlled growing environment?
The process of creating new plants from existing ones, either through sexual or asexual reproduction.
Plant Propagation
Responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, storing food for future use, producing plant growth hormones, anchoring the plant, and vegetative reproduction.
Roots
A complete flower must have these four parts.
Petals, Stamen, Sepal, and Carpel
Possesses one cotyledon.
Monocot
What is responsible for transporting water, minerals, and other nutrients up and down the plant?
Involves the union of a plant's sperm and egg to produce seeds. Seeds.
Sexual Reproduction
Supports the leaves and acts as an avenue to transport minerals, water, and nutrients to different parts of the plant.
Stem
Perfect Flower
Possesses two cotyledons.
Dicots
What for of plant production incorporates the use of fish to provide nutrients to water grown plants?
Aquaponics
Involves taking a part of the plant, such as a stem, root, or lead, and causing it to regenerate into a new plant.
Asexual Reproduction
Allows the leaf to twist and face the sun.
Petiole
Attracts pollinators and protects the flower.
Petals
Also known as seed leaves.
Cotyledons
The study of how plants are used to produce food, alter environments, restore damaged landscapes, improve human health, and more. What is this type of science?
Plant Science
Name at least 3 types of plant propagation.
Cuttings, graphing, tissue culture, micropropagation, budding, dividing rootstock.
A complicated network of conducting tissues that interconnects all organs and transports water, minerals, nutrients, organic compounds, and various signaling molecules throughout the body.
Vascular System
Part of the flower that contains both the filament and anther.
Stamen
Embryonic leaves that first appear from a germinating seed.
Cotyledons.
A piece of small tissue that protects the root from environmental stress and functions as gravity perception.
Root Cap
What form of plant propagation did we use to propagate plants in class?
Provides propagation material and generates flowering shoots.
Leaf Axil
Female part of the flower that contains 3 main components being Style, Stigma, and Ovary.
Carpel or Pistil
Corn, Pineapple, Barley, Wheat, and Onions are all examples of:
Monocots.
