Cells
This plant cell structure provides extra support and is made of cellulose.
What is the cell wall?
This transparent layer is mainly found on the upper epidermis of leaves.
What is the waxy cuticle?
This gas is released as a byproduct during the process of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
This major plant system includes the stems, leaves, flowers and fruits found above ground.
What is the shoot system?
This flower structure is where pollen grains are produced.
What is the anther?
These cells found in the shoot system usually have more chloroplasts compared to root cells because they receive light for photosynthesis.
What are leaf cells / palisade mesophyll?
This characteristic of spongy mesophyll helps with its role in gas exchange.
What are air spaces?
These colour wavelengths of visible light are least efficiently absorbed by chlorophyll and mostly reflected.
What are green wavelengths?
This organ develops from the ovary after successful fertilization has occured.
What is a fruit?
This flower structure refers to the the whole female part of a flower.
What is the carpel / pistil?
These lower epidermal cells contract and relax to exchange gas and water with the environment.
What are guard cells?
These cells provide life support to phloem tissue.
What are companion cells?
Seen clearly in the structure of the leaf, these parts contain the xylem and phloem.
What is the vein / vascular bundle / sheath?
This root system that prevents erosion is made of a network of shallower roots.
What are fibrous roots?
Reduced petals, feathery stigmas and anthers that stick out are adaptations associated with this type of pollination.
What is wind pollination?
Since plants cell contain a nucleus, they are a part of this group of organisms.
What are eukaryotes?
This group of tissue allows for transport of water and substances in the plant.
What is vascular tissue?
This cellular process releases the energy from glucose made during photosynthesis.
What is respiration?
These modified stems function in protecting a plant from predators.
What are thorns / spines?
One major advantage of this type of pollination is increased genetic variation.
What is cross-pollination?
Chlorophyll, along with carotenoids and anthocyanins are examples of this class of molecules that absorb or reflect light energy.
What are pigments?
This tissue type consists of thick, lignified cell walls and provides strong structural support to mature plant parts
What is sclerenchyma?
This molecular formula represents glucose, the sugar produced during photosynthesis.
What is C6H12O6?
This process involves the loss of water vapour from a plant's leaves through the stomata.
What is transpiration?
This flower color is the favourite among birds.
What is red?
