Kingdom Plantae
Almost all plants are autotrophs - they produce their own food through this.
What is photosynthesis?
The biggest goal of a flower is __________.
Reproduction
These plants tissues that circulate nutrients but don't produce seeds. Examples include horsetails, whisk ferns, and club mosses.
What are seedless vascular plants?
This tissue of a plant does the same thing for it that skin does for you.
What is dermal tissue?
This vascular tissue transports food made in the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is phloem?
Some plants get their food from other living things, making them this.
What is parasitic?
A plant that has tissues capable of transporting water and other materials is classified as this.
What is vascular?
Commonly called nonvascular plants, this group includes mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.
What are bryophytes?
The layer of a leaf that contains the chloroplasts
Palisade Mesophyll
The majority of a plant is made of this tissue. It is both the workhorse and packing material of plant tissues, responsible for producing sugar, storing materials, and supporting the plant.
What is ground tissue?
In their cell walls, plants have this - the tough fibers that give plants their rigidity and strength.
What is cellulose?
These small plants, usually found in moist environments, must be able to absorb their water and nutrients directly through their leaf-like structures.
What are nonvascular plants.
These vascular plants produce seeds but no fruits or flowers. They often bear their seeds out in the open on a cone. Examples include pinesk cycads, and ginkgo trees.
What are gymnosperms?
The layer of a leaf that contains the vascular portions
The type of tissue directly under the root cap on a root is called...
What is meristematic tissue?
This type of sexual reproduction is a cycle that includes spore-forming stage and a gamete-forming stage.
What is alternation of generations?
This diploid, multicellular structure nutures a plant's developing embryo.
What are seeds?
These seed-bearing vascular plants produce flowers and fruits. They are the largest group of plants.
What are angiosperms?
This tissue acts as the transport system for a plant.
What is vascular tissue?
The center part of an apple or fleshy fruit that houses the seeds
true fruit or ovary
This waxy substance protects the leaves, green stems, and fruits.
What is a cuticle?
Conifer (pine trees) are in this plant category
Gymnosperms
This angiosperm produces large flowers and leaves that are big enough to support the weight of a person.
What are Victoria cruziana (giant water lilies)?
This type of vascular tissue transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
What is xylem?
The three regions of a root from top of soil down to the tip of a root are...
Maturation Region
Elongation Region
Meristematic Region
