Woodn't you know?
The cycle of life
100
The place on the stem where one or more leaves are attached
What is the node
100
Root hairs are found in this zone.
What is the zone of maturation
100
Plants are composed of dermal, ground and _____ tissues.
What is vascular tissue?
100
Divides to produce phloem to the outside and xylem to the inside during secondary growth.
What is the vascular cambium?
100
During this process, ploidy is halved.
What is meiosis?
200
Small, actively dividing cells at the stem tip.
What is the apical meristem?
200

The tissue responsible for starch storage in roots, and is located outside the vascular cylinder.

What is the cortex?
200
Ground tissue found at the center of a dicot stem.
What is the pith?
200
These water conducting cells are found in both gymnosperms and angiosperms.
What are tracheids?
200
This haploid structure produces sperm via mitosis.
What is an antheridium?
300
A below ground, horizontally growing stem that plants often use for asexual reproduction.
What is a rhizome?
300

This tissue helps the root filter by forcing water to move apoplastically rather than symplastically and is absent in stems.

What is the endodermis?
300
The nucleated cell that sieve tube elements rely on in phloem tissue.
What is a companion cell?
300
Living parenchyma cells that traverse secondary xylem and function to transport between secondary xylem and secondary phloem.
What are rays?
300
This is the first cell of the diploid portion of the life cycle.
What is a zygote?
400
Located on a stem, this structure is always subtended by a leaf.
What is a bud?
400
These structures, also known as air roots, are produced by plants living in water-logged soils and help transport oxygen to tissues under water.
What are pneumatophores?
400
This tissue is composed of living cells with angular cell wall thickenings and function for support.
What is collenchyma?
400
This type of plank is sawn along the radius of a log  and is a more expensive form of lumber.
What is rift sawn lumber?
400
This is the first single cell of the haploid portion of the life cycle.
What is a spore?
500
During autumn, chlorophyll breaks down to reveal this pigment responsible for orange, yellow, and red fall colors.
What is a carotenoid?
500
The fungus that grows on the outside of root cells and assists with with water and mineral uptake.
What is ectomycorrhizae?
500
Trichomes and root hairs are analogous structures and are a part of this tissue.
What is the epidermis?
500
These cells divide anticlinally to produce more of themselves, but periclinally to produce secondary xylem and phloem.
What are fusiform initials?
500
Generally, a land plant that produces two types of spores.
What is heterosporous?
