Vascular Tissue
Protects the seed
What is the seed coat
A collection of tissues working together to perform a specific function for an organism is called:
What is an organ?
the process of the plant embryo beginning to grow using the food stored in the cotyledon(s) of the seed.
What is germination?
structures designed to absorb light for photosynthesis.
What is a leaf?
In vascular plants, sugars are transported through
What is phloem?
A collection of organs working together to perform a specific function for an organism is an
What is an organ system?
Stem that connects the leaf to the rest of the plant.
What is a Petiole (pet-tee-ole)?
CELLULAR level, the Levels of Organization are [5]
CELLS ⇨ TISSUES ⇨ ORGANS ⇨ ORGAN SYSTEMS ⇨ ORGANISM
What process signals the end of germination?
What is Photosynthesis?
Tubes used to transport water and materials throughout the leaves.
What is Veins?
Plants have two Organ Systems what are they and what are they comprised of:
● Shoot system (made of the leaves, flowers, and stem)
● Root System ( made of primary and lateral roots)
What is Sunlight.
Bark on the outside of a tree is a form of
What is the vascular tissue?
plant organs are made of a combination of three basic tissues what are they?
1. Dermal Tissue: Layer on the outside surface of the plant. Used for protection and for preventing dehydration.
2. Vascular Tissue: Makes up the tubes used to move materials and water throughout the plant. There are two sets of tubes in a plant: Xylem (carries water); Phloem (carries food).
3. Ground Tissue: Provides support, allows for storage of materials and is the main site for photosynthesis (production of food/sugars).
Once a seed is dispersed, there are three conditions that must be met for germination to be successful what are they?
Water, Temperature, Oxygen
What are the three types of root structures?
● Primary roots- Are connected to and extend directly from the stem.
● Lateral roots- Extend from the primary root.
● Root hairs- individual cells on roots used to increase surface area for absorption.
