Cells
The basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
A mass of similar cells that perform a specialized function.
What is tissue?
A collection of similar tissues joined together into a structure that performs specialized functions.
What are organs?
A collection of organs that work together to perform specialized functions
What is an organ system?
A self-contained living thing.
What is an organism?
These plant cells transports dissolved organic compounds (sugars) throughout the plant.
What are Phloem cells.
This tissue type protects the plant.
What is dermal tissue?
This organ essentially acts as the plant's primary food-making organ.
What is the leaf?
This plant organ system is located underground.
What is the root system?
This plant organism is distinguished by the lack of seeds at it's core.
What is a vegetable?
These plant cells are primarily responsible for transporting water and minerals from roots to leaves.
What are Xylem cells?
This tissue type helps transport material to different parts of the plant.
What is vascular tissue?
This organ essentially acts as the connecting structure between the roots and the above-ground parts of the plant.
What is the stem?
This plant organ system is located aboveground.
What is the shoot system?
This plant organism is distinguished by the seeds in it's core.
What is a fruit?
These are the most common plant cells, with thin cell walls and are involved in storage, photosynthesis, and other metabolic activities.
What are Parenchyma cells?
This tissue type performs support and storage functions and also aids in photosynthesis.
What is ground tissue?
This organ absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
What is a root?
This plant organ system anchors the plant underground and absorbs water and nutrients.
What is the root system?
This plant organism is a starchy tuberous vegetable and is cut into French fries.
What is a potato?
These are elongated cells with thickened cell walls, providing structural support to young plants, particularly in stems and leaves.
What are Collenchyma cells?
This tissue type is located in the lower region of a leaf.
What is the lower epidermas?
This organ facilitates reproduction in plants.
What is a flower?
This plant organ system which includes aboveground parts like stems and leaves is responsible for photosynthesis and reproduction.
What is the shoot system?
The name of this plant organism derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek word κάκτος, a name originally used by Theophrastus for a spiny plant.
What is a cactus?
