Soils
The largest type of soil particle.
What is sand?
Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells contain these membrane-bound structures, including a defined nucleus.
What are organelles?
This is the specific organelle inside a leaf cell where photosynthesis takes place.
What is chloroplast?
This term refers to the actual genetic makeup of an organism (like Bb or tt), rather than its physical appearance.
What is a genotype?
This gaseous plant hormone is famous for accelerating fruit ripening and causing leaves to drop.
What is ethylene?
This type of soil contains equal proportions of sand, silt, and clay.
What is loam?
This cellular structure provides the rigid support needed to keep a plant stem upright.
What is the cell wall?
While glucose is the main food goal, this gas is released by the plant as an output or waste product of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
This is the specific saclike part of the stamen that produces pollen grains.
What is the anther?
Unlike annuals that complete their cycle in one year, this type of plant lives and grows for multiple years.
What is a perennial?
This horizon is located at the top soil profile and is made of decomposing organic material.
What is the O Horizon?
This type of cell division is used strictly for growth and repair, producing 2 identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This vascular tissue acts like a plant's water elevator, transporting water and minerals upward from the roots.
What is xylem?
A flower is granted this "flawless" title if it possesses both male and female reproductive structures.
What is a perfect flower?
This hormone acts as a stress responder, famously closing stomata during a drought to save water.
What is Abscisic Acid (or ABA)?
Climate, topography, and parent material are part of this 5-member environmental group.
What are the soil-forming factors?
Meiosis results in this total number of non-identical daughter cells.
What is four?
These microscopic openings on the surface of leaves open and close to allow for gas exchange.
What are stomata?
This type of trait will always be expressed in the phenotype even if only one copy of the allele is present.
What is a dominant trait?
This type of plant is characterized by a single main woody stem, separating its growth habit from a multi-stemmed shrub.
What is a tree?
The 4 media components from your worksheet classified specifically as inorganic growing mediums.
What are sand, perlite, vermiculite, coir?
This is the correct chronological order of the four main stages of mitosis.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
These are the three primary inputs required for a plant to undergo photosynthesis.
What are sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide?
While this term describes a seed's ability to grow, this other term describes a temporary state of suspended growth.
What are viability and dormancy?
This specific hormone group is heavily associated with promoting stem elongation and breaking seed dormancy.
What are gibberellins?
