What is the difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms?
Gymnosperms are seed plants that do NOT produce flowers, while angiosperms DO produce flowers.
100
Organisms that live on or near the ocean floor.
Benthos

What is the difference between vascular and nonvascular plants?
Vascular plants can move water and nutrients through the tubes while nonvascular plants cannot.

How many major biomes does the Earth have?
6
200
This contains an undeveloped plant and stores food.
Seed
200
Where a river meets the ocean.
Estuary

What does xylem and phloem do in plants?
The xylem moves water and minerals up from the roots and the phloem moves food from the plant's leaves to its other parts.

Name all the biomes.
Tropical Rain Forests Deserts Grasslands/Savannahs Deciduous Forests Taigas Tundras
300
Where new xylem and phloem are produced
Cambium
300
A cool forest of cone-bearing evergreen trees.
Taiga

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) + energy (sun) + H2O (water) --> sugar + O2 (oxygen)
300
Describe the abyssal ocean zone.
It is very deep in the ocean where it is dark and cold. Organisms may not be able to see clearly because there is no sunlight.
400
A compound made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Carbohydrate
400
A very cold, dry biome that includes a layer of permanently frozen soil.
Tundra

How does the stem affect a plant? Why are stems important?
It gives a plant its height. It supports plants to stay up.
400
What is a chaparral ecosystem? (hint: what kind of region is it and what do they cause?)
It is a dry region that may cause wildfires.
500
A single cell that can develop into a plant that is exactly like the plant that produced it.
Spore
500
Grassland that stays warm year-round with very wet summers and long, dry winters.
Savanna

How does photosynthesis and respiration work together in plants?
During photosynthesis, plants use energy from the sun to convert molecules into sugar. During respiration, plants need sugar to convert molecules so that it can help it grow and reproduce.

Describe the ocean zones. (hint: intertidal, neritic, bathyal)
Intertidal - shallowest part of the ocean Neritic - rich in plant life and has complex food chains Bathyal - top layer of the ocean
