Plant Families
This family features a floral arrangement of composite heads of ray and disc flowers.
What is Asteraceae?
This type of fruit has multiple seeds embedded in sweet mesocarp, like; kiwi, grape, and cantaloupe.
What is a berry?
It requires this number of molecules of carbon dioxide to produce one molecule of glucose.
What is six?
This are the parts of a flower that suspend the anthers out towards an approaching pollinator.
What are the filaments?
Tissues that store starch are made up of these cells.
What are parenchyma cells?
The filaments are fused to the styles in this plant family .
What is Malvaceae?
This type of fruit splits at maturity to release its seeds.
What is a dehiscent fruit?
Oxygen gas is a bi-product of photosynthesis due to the splitting of this molecule.
What is water?
This is the sticky tip of the pistil.
What is the stigma?
These are the cells in leaves that contain chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis.
What are mesophyll cells?
This family presents their flowers in compound umbels and while some members are delicious, others are deadly.
What is Apiaceae?
This type of fruit results from multiple carpels in a single flower.
What is an aggregate fruit?
This will happen to a cell that contains 8% salinity when it is placed into a liquid with 4% salinity.
What is absorb water?
When there are more than one pistil in a flower, we call them this.
What is carpels?
Bulk flow provides the gravity-driven pressure that moves sugary sap down from the leaves to the trunk and roots in this type of plant tissue.
What is phloem?
This family has compound leaves and produces drupes with delicious seeds.
What is Juglandaceae?
This type of fruit results from the swelling of a part of the plant other than the ovary.
What is an accessory fruit?
This will happen to a plant with 2% salinity when it is placed into a brackish marsh with 8% salinity.
What is loose water and shrivel up?
If the ovary is positioned below the attachment point of the sepals we say it is this.
What is inferior?
The vascular bundles are in a ring within the stems of this type of plant.
What is a dicot.
Most of the stems and leaves of these plants are poisonous, but we are able to eat some of the fruits and tubers.
What is Solanaceae?
This type of fruit has one seed and has wings for wind dispersal.
What is a samara?
Some plants do this during the day if they are adapted to arid environments and perform photosynthesis at night.
What is close their stomata?
The pollen grains of Angiosperms have two sperm, one to fertilize the egg, and one to fertilize this.
What is polar nuclei?
Trees are able to expand the width of their trunks each year with this type of growth consisting of new vascular bundles.
What is secondary growth?
