Plant Groups
A seedless vascular plant that possesses vascular tissue to transport water, and reproduces via spores
What is a pteridophyte?
In this stage, the plant emerges above the soil, growing leaves for photosynthesis and a root system
What is the seedling stage?
When writing binomial nomenclature, it is put into this structure.
What is two-part structure?
This cotyledon has one seed leaf, parallel veins, a fibrous root system, and flower parts that come in multiples of three.
What is a monocot?
The category also known as “Flowering Plants” with seeds enclosed within a fruit or flower.
What is an angiosperm?
In this stage, the plant produces flowers that are then pollinated to produce seeds.
What is the reproductive stage?
Binomial nomenclature is written in this order, with the first being the only thing capitalized.
What are genus, species?
This life cycle completes in more than two years, although may die back in winter before regrowing during the spring.
What is a perennial life cycle?
The alternative ways of classifying a plant (name at least one)
What are structure, reproduction, life cycle, and habit?
Seeds are spread via wind, water, or animals to begin a new cycle.
What is seed dispersal?
In printed text, binomial nomenclature is always written in this typeface.
what are Italics?
This life cycle takes two years to complete. In year one, foliage and roots grow, in year two, the plant flowers, seeds, and dies.
What is a biennial life cycle?
A non-vascular plant that lacks true roots, stems, or leaves, and depends on osmosis for water transport
What is a Byrophyte?
In this stage, the seed breaks dormancy, with the radicle emerging first as the shoot grows toward sunlight.
What is germination?
What is a dicot?
Also known as a “Naked Seed Plant”, it produces seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit or flower, and commonly come in cones.
What is a gymnosperm?
In this stage, the plant matures. It develops roots, stems, and leaves to support its reproductive stage.
What is the vegetative stage?
When handwritten, an organism’s name in binomial nomenclature is always written with this format
This life cycle finishes in a single growing season before the flower dies for good.
