100
Plants that require a moist environment.
What is non-vascular plants
100
convert the Suns energy into food for the plant
What is photosynthesis
100
To survive, plants need these three things in their envionment.
What is nutrients, soil, and light.
100
Anchors the plant in the soil and holds the stem in place.
What is roots
100
Two types of plant growth hormones. One causes growth and the other blocks growth.
What is promoter hormones and inhibitor hormones
200
Transfer materials within the plant.
What is vascular plants
200
Anchors the plant in the soil to hold the stem in place.
What is the roots
200
A sunstance composed of broken rock, decomposed organic matter, and an active community of living organisms.
What is soil
200
An external layer of living tissue that protects the interior tissues.
What is epidermis
200
Auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid, and ethylene
What is the classes of hormones
300
Thrive in environments with long cold winters and low amounts of nutrients in the soil. They provide fibre for making paper and wood.
What is gymnosperm
300
A pore-like opening in a plant's epidermis
What is the stomata
300
A sequnce of change in a community that starts with bare rock and ends with a stable ecosystem.
What is primary succession
300
Stems that are bulbous underground structures
What is corms
300
A directional growth response to unequal stimulation from the external environment.
What is tropism
400
Produce fruits. Also the roots, leaves, and stems can provide food for humans and other animals.
What is angiosperm
400
Helps keep young stems up straight
What is the turgor
400
A change in a community that begins with a previously existing but disturbed community.
What is secondary succession
400
Contains cells that are irregular in shape and arrangement in a dicot stem.
What is the cortex
400
Occurs when the growth of a plant is affected by light.
What is phototropism
500
10% of these type of plants have woody stems. Most of these types of plants are non-woody or herbaceous.
What is monocots
500
Transport water, minerals, and any other dissolved materials absorbed by the root to the upper parts of the plant.
What is the xylem
500
The final stage of succession.
What is climax community
500
Vascular tissue that is clumped together. It contians both xylem and phloem.
What is vascular cylinder
500
A naturalist who experimented with hormonal control of plant growth in the 1800s.
