100
The two identifying characterisitcs that show that a plant is a seed plant.
What is vascular tissue and seeds to reproduce?
100
Light fluffy seeds are most often carried away by this seed dispersal technique?
What is the wind?
100
The making of sugar (food) and oxygen happen during this process.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This part carries substances between the plants roots and leaves.
What is the stem?
100
Their job is to anchor the plant in place and to absorb water and nutrients.
What are the roots?
200
The two types of vascular tissue.
What is phloem and xylem?
200
Seeds with a waxy coating are often transported away by this method
What is water?
200
These little green structures are responsible for taking in the energy from the sun to aide in photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
200
The stem also provides this for the plant and holds up the leaves.
What is support?
200
These are the two main types of roots that a plant can have.
What fibrous and taproots?
300
The three important parts that make up the seeds of seed plants.
What are the embryo, cotyledon (or stored food), and the seed coat?
300
Barbs and hooks allow seeds to be transported in this seed dispersal technique.
What is animals?
300
The waxy, waterproof coating covering the leaf's upper surface.
What is the cuticle?
300
These are the two types of stems that plants can have.
What are woody or herbaceous?
300
This part is at the end of the root and helps to protect the growing root.
What is the root cap?
400
Leaves capture the sun's energy and carry out the food making in this process.
What is photosynthesis?
400
Seeds with a tough protective coating that does not get digested can be transported this way.
What is animals?
400
The many spaces here temporarily store carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What are the lower leaf cells?
400
These help to tell the age of a tree and are made up of the xylem of the stem.
What are annual rings?
400
This tube network of tissue carries water from the root to the rest of the plant.
What is the xylem?
500
The techniques that plants use to move seeds away from the parent plant.
What is seed dispersal?
500
Mistletoe and WitchHazel both shoot out seeds in this technique.
What is ejection?
500
These are the tiny pores that open to let carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen and water vapor
What is the stomata?
500
Sapwood (the active tissue) and Heartwood (the old tissue) make up this part of vascual tissue in the stem.
What is the xylem?
500
This tube network of tissue carries food made in the leaves down to the root to be stored for further use.
What is the phloem?
