A fruit is usually what plant organ?
What is a mature ovary.

What are the 3 basic plant organs?
What are roots, stems, and leaves.

These open and close in response to changes in turgor pressure.
What are stomata.

What is sporopollenin.
200
What is the male organ of a flower?

What is primary growth?
What is growth that lengthens roots and shoots.

Protists are paraphyletic. What does that mean?
What is they are not found in a single evolutionary lineage, but many different ones.
300
What structure are spores produced in?
What are sporangia.
300
What distinguishes angiosperms from gymnosperms?
What is angiosperms have flowers and fruits.
300
Which type of plant cell is the least specialized, and have thin, flexible primary cell walls?
What are parenchyma cells.
300
What is responsible for the movement of water up a plant?
What is the adhesive and cohesive forces of water.
400
How is it hypothesized that protists were made?
What is endosymbiosis.

What are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
400
What ploidy level is the endosperm?
What is 3n.
400
Phloem is made of what types of cells?
What are companion cells, and sieve tube members.
400
What stops minerals from reaching the vascular tissue of the plant without crossing a selectively permeable membrane first?
What is the casparian strip.
500
Which type of protist has alternation of generations, much like plants?
What is algae.

What is the advantage of having a dominant sporophyte generation?
What is the sporophyte is diploid, so more genetic variation. Also, it is the only one with vascular tissue.
