100
This leaf type has more than one blade joined to the petiole.
What is a compound leaf?
100
Photosynthesis is used to do this process.
What is making food/glucose?
100
These plants have non-woody stems.
What is herbaceous?
100
These are tiny one-celled reproductive structures found on plants such as ferns.
What are spores?
100
This type of flower is usually found in the center of a composite flower head.
What are disk flowers?
200
These leaves attach directly to a stem.
What are sessile leaves?
200
When you look at a leaf under a microscope, you will notice these little green structures moving within each cell.
What are chloroplasts?
200
This type of plant reproduction does not involve flowers, seeds, or fruit.
What is vegetative reproduction?
200
These are plants without vascular systems.
What are bryophytes?
200
Thesse are the three main parts of a seed.
What are the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat?
300
The branch shown below has this kind of leaf arrangement.
What is alternate?
300
Along with water and carbon dioxide, this final ingredient is needed to start the process of photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
300
This carries water and nutrients from the root hairs upward through the root and stem to the leaves.
What is xylem?
300
This tracheophyte completes the process of photosynthesis in its stem instead of its leaves.
What are horsetail?
300
This upward force in the transport tubes is produced by water entering the root hairs.
What is root pressure?
400
This is the place where a leaf attaches to the stem.
What is a node?
400
The process of cellular respiration combines glucose and oxygen to make these products.
What are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water?
400
Water and dissolved chemicals are absorbed through the cell membrane of the root hairs by this process.
What is osmosis?
400
This bryophyte stays attached to a moist surface or soil by tiny hair-like threads called rhizoids.
What is moss?
400
The leaf below illustrates this type of venation.
What is pinnate?
500
This is the shape of the margin of the leaf below.
What is lobed?
500
Plants do not store excess glucose; instead they convert it into this substance.
What is starch?
500
The storage cells that surround a root’s transport system tubes form this.
What is the cortex?
500
This tracheophyte is one of the most unique seedless plants.
What is a fern?
500
This is the main force that brings water up a plant’s transport tubes, the loss of water from its leaves.
What is transpiration?
