Plant Basics
These organisms make their own food using sunlight.
What are plants?
These plants have tubes to move water and nutrients.
What are vascular plants?
These tiny structures help ferns and mosses reproduce.
What are spores?
Pine trees belong to this group.
What are gymnosperms?
The part of the plant that absorbs water.
What are roots?
The process plants use to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
Mosses belong to this group.
What are nonvascular plants?
Plants that reproduce with seeds but do not produce flowers.
What are gymnosperms?
These plants produce fruit to protect their seeds.
What are angiosperms?
The part that transports water upward.
What is the stem?
The green pigment that captures sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
The two types of vascular tissuess.
What are xylem and phloem?
Plants that produce flowers and fruits.
What are angiosperms?
The structure gymnosperms use to hold seeds.
What are cones?
The part where photosynthesis mainly occurs.
What are leaves?
The kingdom plants belong to.
What is Kingdom Plantae?
These plants must stay small because they lack transport tubes.
What are nonvascular plants?
The part of a seed that becomes the new plant. What is the embryo?
What is the embryo?
The part of an angiosperm that attracts pollinators.
What is the flower?
The openings on leaves that allow gas exchange.
What are stomata?
The two major groups plants are divided into based on internal transport systems.
What are vascular and nonvascular plants?
Ferns belong to this category because they have vascular tissue but reproduce with spores.
What are vascular spore‑producing plants?
The protective outer covering of a seed.
What is the seed coat?
The major difference between angiosperm and gymnosperm seeds.
What is that angiosperm seeds are enclosed in fruit, while gymnosperm seeds are not?
The vascular tissue that carries sugar from leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is phloem?
