Transport in Plant
What does the Xylem transport and for what system?
transport of water and minerals
root system
How would the offspring that was asexually produced be compared to parent?
Identical
a plants response to light
phototropism
What is the name for the male parts in the reproductive system of a flower?
Stamen
What does the filament do for a flower?
What does the Pholem transport and for what system?
transports glucose, hormones, and amino acids (food)
How would the offspring that was sexually produced be compared to parent?
alleles from both parents
A plant’s response to gravity
Gravitropism
What is the name for the female parts in the reproductive system of a flower?
Pistil/Carpel
What do the guard cells do?
Regulate what comes in and out of stomata
What is the role of the stomata?
Stomata, or stoma, are small openings where gas exchange and water loss occur
• Helps maintain homeostasis
•Carbon dioxide moves in by diffusion
• Oxygen moves out by diffusion
• Water moves out by osmosis
Describe self-pollination
occurs when the pollen from a plant pollinates the same plant
A plant’s response to touch stimuli
Thigmotropism
What does the anther do?
produces pollen
Circulatory
What is the relationship between the root system and the shoot system of plants?
The root system absorbs nutrients from the soil, while the shoot system transports the nutrients throughout the plant.
Describe cross-pollination
occurs when the pollen from one plant pollinates a different plant. Cross-pollination produces more diversity
If one plant was sitting directly under a light, and another sitting next to a window, how would the plant react to that?
first one would be standing straight up, second one would bend towards window
What does the stigma do?
pollen sticks to it, beginning the fertilization process
What part of the flower attracts pollinators?
Petals
Gibberellins are hormones produced in the root tips of plants. The plant uses these hormones to stimulate the growth of shoots.
How are gibberellins able to affect other parts of the plant?
A. Gibberellins are absorbed through the stomata and attach to chloroplasts.
B. Gibberellins are transported through vascular tissues to other parts of the plant.
C. Gibberellins become concentrated within the tissues of the plant during mitosis
D. Gibberellins become modified once they infect healthy cells and are later released to infect other cells.
B
Which statement best describes an interaction that will allow a flowering plant to reproduce by selfpollination?
A. An anther is transferred from a filament to another filament within the same flower.
B. An ovule is transferred from the ovary to a petal on a different flower.
C. A pollen grain is transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower.
D. An ovary is transferred from a flower on one plant to a flower on a different plant.
C
How do plants respond to stimuli? What do the send throughout the plant?
Messenger Hormones
What is the 4 ways a seed can be dispersed?
Wind, Water, Expulsion, Animals
The roots take in water and the leaves produce sugar that is transported to the rest of the plant through vascular tissues.
