Evolution of Plants
The embryo of a land plant.
What is a seed?
A plant that is very small, and does not have any internal structures.
What is a non-vascular plant?
The advantages (two) of vascular tissue.
What are structural support and nutrient transfer?
The classification of mosses.
What are Bryophytes?
The reproductive structure of many different plants.
What is a flower?
Non vascular plants need it to reproduce.
What is water?
The carbohydrates stored in the plant.
What is glucose?
The classification of flowering plants.
What are Angiosperms?
The root-like structure that anchors Bryophytes.
What is rhizoids?
This is the advantage to having a hard coating around a seed.
What is protection?
They are small hairs that anchor the non-vascular plant to the surface of a rock.
What are rhizoids?
The small hairs that increase the surface area for water absorption.
What is a root?
The classification of ferns.
What are Pteridophytes?
The tissue that allows water to travel up a plant.
What is the vascular tissue?
This is the advantage of having a seed that can be carried to new places.
What is dispersal?
These are hard veins that transport water.
What is xylem?
The structure that supports the plant. Green and flexible in herbaceous plants, filled with bundles of xylem and phloem.
What is the stem?
The classification of cone-bearing seed plants.
What are Gymnosperms?
An example of the first land plants.
What is moss?
Two ways that pollen can travel.
What are wind and pollinators?
These are soft veins that transport sugar.
What is phloem?
Each are attached to the stem by a stalk called a petiole. These contain the chloroplasts in the cell.
What is a leaf.
List the seven land adaptations.
What are flowers, seeds, vascular tissue, pollen, cuticle, stomata, and fruits?
