plant life cycles
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis.
The first leaves to emerge from a seed during germination, also known as "seed leaves".
Cotyledons.
Leaf, any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant. They are the primary sites of photosynthesis.
Three examples of vascular plants...
trees, flowers, beans, etc.
The development of a plant from a seed or a spore.
Germination.
Plants characterized by their "branching veins" and have two cotyledons.
the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers.
Roots.
What are non-vascular plants?
Nonvascular plants, such as moss and liverworts, do not have tubes to carry water and food.
Plants that perform their entire life cycle from seed to flower to seed within a single growing season.
Annual plants.
Plants characterized by their parallel leaf veins have only one cotyledon.
Monocot.
Tubes that run through a leaf, transporting water, nutrients, and sugars to and from the leaf cells.
Leaf veins.
the process where plants use the sugars produced during photosynthesis, along with oxygen, to generate energy needed for growth, reproduction, and other life functions, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct
Respiration.
any herbaceous flowering plant that completes its life cycle in two growing seasons
Biennials.
a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. Include: herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees.
Angiosperm.
These make up the stamen.
Xylem.
Plants that persist for many growing seasons. Generally the top portion of the plant dies back each winter and regrows the following spring.
Perennials.
A type of vascular plant that produces "naked seeds," meaning their seeds are not enclosed within an ovary or fruit, unlike flowering plants (angiosperms), and are instead exposed on the surface of scales or leaves, usually within cone-like structures.
Stigma, style, and overy make up which part of the flower?
These parts make up the pistil.
The smallest soil particle is?
clay.
