Monocot vs. Dicot
Flower parts in multiples of three.
What is monocot?
The gametophyte produces these by mitosis.
What are gametes?
All plant parts are composed of three tissue systems.
These shoot system structures provide specialized framework.
What are stems?
This transports sugars/food throughout the plant.
What is phloem?
Embryo with two cotyledons.
What is dicot?
The sporophyte produces these by meiosis.
What are spores?
These constitute the bulk of the plant and specialize in photosynthesis and storage.
What is ground tissue?
These shoots system structures are specialized reproductive organs.
What are flowers?
The function of waxy cuticle secreted by epidermal cells.
What is preventing water loss/slowing evaporation?
Leaf veins are parallel.
What is monocot?
The plant generation that produces gametes.
What is the gametophyte?
These cover and protect the plant's exposed surfaces.
What is dermal tissue?
These are specialized to absorb water and minerals and anchor the plant.
What are roots?
Structures on the leaf that allow gas exchange.
What are stomata?
Vascular bundles are organized in a ring.
What is dicot?
The plant generation that produces spores.
What is the sporophyte?
This tissue transports water through the plant.
What is xylem?
This provides flexible and pliable structural support for the plant.
What is collenchyma?
Specialized cells found on either side of a stoma.
What are guard cells?
Pollen grain has three pores.
What is dicot?
The type of cell division responsible for genetic variation in plants.
What is meiosis?
This tissue transports sugars through the plant.
What is phloem?
This plant tissue contains the most chloroplasts.
What is the mesophyll?
These cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata.
What are guard cells?
