Plant Kingdoms
These are the two main groups in the plant kingdom.
What are vascular and non-vascular plants?
This part of the plant anchors it to the soil and absorbs water.
What is the root?
These plants produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit and include conifers.
What are gymnosperms?
The process by which plants produce offspring from seeds.
What is sexual reproduction?
The scientific name of a plant is made up of these two parts.
What is the genus and species?
This plant group lacks vascular tissue and includes mosses.
What are bryophytes?
This part of the plant is responsible for producing food through photosynthesis.
What is the leaf?
These plants have seeds enclosed within a fruit and are often divided into dicots and monocots.
What are angiosperms?
These reproductive cells in plants unite to form a zygote.
What are gametes?
The process of grouping plants into categories based on shared characteristics.
What is taxonomy?
These plants have vascular tissue and include trees, ferns, and grasses.
What are tracheophytes?
This part of the plant transports water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant.
What is the xylem?
These plants are known for their ability to adapt to dry environments.
What are xerophytes?
This is the structure in plants where fertilization takes place, usually in the pistil.
What is the ovary?
The plant classification hierarchy goes from kingdom down to this level.
What is species?
This is the term for plants that grow in aquatic environments.
What are hydrophytes?
These reproductive structures are found in flowers and are responsible for producing seeds.
What are stamens and pistils?
These plants have a short lifespan, typically one growing season, and include crops like wheat.
What are annuals?
This is the method of plant reproduction that involves the cloning of plants, often through cuttings or runners.
What is asexual reproduction?
This term refers to plants that are classified under the same genus.
What is a species?
These types of plants are capable of photosynthesis but lack flowers and seeds, including ferns.
What are pteridophytes?
This is the term for the tissue responsible for transporting sugars throughout the plant.
What is the phloem?
These are plants that live for more than two years, often producing flowers and seeds multiple times.
What are perennials?
These plants reproduce without seeds, using structures like spores instead.
What are ferns or mosses?
This system of plant classification was developed by Carl Linnaeus.
What is binomial nomenclature?
