Plant Anatomy
This structure on the angiosperm flower is responsible for attracting pollinators due to its flashy display.
What are petals?
This is the earliest diverging lineage of the fungi.
What are the chytrids (Phylum: Chytidomycota)?
This term is used to describe the presence of both a haploid and diploid stage in a plant's life cycle.
This lineage of moss is more closely related to land plants than any other lineage of moss.
What are the hornworts (Phylum: Anthocerophyta)?
What is a waxy cuticle.
This structure produces and holds pollen on angiosperms.
What is the anther?
These lineages of fungi form large fruiting bodies.
What are the basidiomycetes and ascomycetes?
This type of tissue allows plants to conduct water from their root systems to the rest of their cells.
What is vascular tissue?
This lineage is the earliest divererging lineage of land plants.
What are the liverworts (Phylum: Hepatophyta)?
This structure is used to attract pollinators and is responsible for the radiation of the angiosperms.
What is the flower?
The common name for mature, ripe ovaries in seed plants.
What is a fruit?
What is flagellated spores?
Gymnosperm means this in Greek.
What is "naked seed"?
This structure release spores from the sporophyte of mosses.
What is a sporangium (capsule)?
This structure on flowers protects the petals from predation, UV light, and other damaging environmental factors.
What are the sepals?
This structure is found at the tip of a carpel and is used as a sticky substrate to catch pollen grains.
What is a stigma?
This refers to the fusion of plasma membranes between two separate fungal individuals.
What is plasmogamy?
What is a grade?
This structure produces spores on gametophytes.
What is the antheridium?
This structure is only found in some ferns and all seeded plants, allowing them to access nutrients from the ground.
What are roots?
