Vascular Plant Structure
Plant growth and Development
100
The waxy covering that prevents a plant from losing moisture.
What is the cuticle?
100
The embryo of a land plant.
What is a seed?
100
A plant that is very small, and does not have any internal structures.
What is a non-vascular plant?
100
The outer layer of a vascular plant, cork in woody plants, epidermis in herbaceous plants.
What is dermal tissue?
100
The first growth of a plant from a seed.
What is germination?
200
The pore in the waxy covering of a plant that opens and closes to allow water to escape.
What is the stoma?
200
The reproductive structure of many different plants.
What is a flower?
200
Non vascular plants need it to reproduce.
What is water?
200
The tissue that stores carbohydrates in the stem and chloroplasts in the leaves.
What is ground tissue?
200
A plant that grows for three or more years.
What is a perennial?
300

The root's sensitive meristem is protected by this structure.

What is root cap.

300
This is the advantage to having a hard coating around a seed.
What is protection?
300
They are small hairs that anchor the non-vascular plant to the surface of a rock.
What are rhizoids?
300
The ground tissue is called the cortex and there are small hairs that increase the surface area.
What is a root?
300
A hormone that causes a plant to bend toward the light.
What is auxin?
400
The cells that open and close the pores of a plant.
What are the guard cells?
400
This is the advantage of having a seed that can be carried to new places.
What is dispersal?
400
These are hard veins that transport water.
What is xylem?
400
The structure that supports the plant. Green and flexible in herbaceous plants, filled with bundles of xylem and phloem.
What is the stem?
400
A plant that needs a long night in order to grow.
What is a short day plant?
500

An example of non vascular plants.

What is moss?

500
The advantage of having a seed that can feed itself for some time.
What is nourishment?
500
These are soft veins that transport sugar.
What is phloem?
500
Each are attached to the stem by a stalk called a petiole. These contain the chloroplasts in the cell.
What is a leaf.
500
This prevents growth during warm spells in the winter.
What is dormancy?
