Leaves and other parts of this plant need to be supported so they do not collapse. These plants do not need to use standing water to reproduce.
What are land plants?
100
This type of land plant reproduces with spores. (Hint: It is NOT fungi, since fungi has its own classification category.)
What is a fern?
100
A type of root, though not very firmly anchored into the ground by one major root, can pull up a large amount of soil with it's tangled mass.
What is a fiberous root?
100
Life cycle of an angiosperm, that spreads seeds out in a given area by animals, winds, humans, or water, to create new seedlings
What is seed dispersal?
100
These seedless plants use accessory pigments to reproduce.
What is algae? (brown, green, and red!)
200
Contains a seed coat, stored food and embryo
What is a seed?
200
Grows on rocks and other moist surfaces. Similar to a lichen, a cross between algae and fungi, this plant has an adaptation to help plants grow on land.
What is moss?
200
This female reproductive system structure of an angiosperm is made up of the stigma, the style, the ovule and the ovary.
What is pistil?
200
Both gymnosperms and angiosperms alike rely on wind or other animals in order for this process to take place
What is pollination? (or seed dispersal)
200
This simple type of green-leafed, land plant is one that does not produce seeds, instead using the reproductive system of a fungi.
What is a fern?
300
The stamen (filament and anther) and the pistil (stigma, style, ovule, and ovary)
What are the female and male reproductive systems of a land plant?
300
Plants that complete their life cycle once every two years, unlike plants that come back year after year or die off after the season is through.
What is biennial?
300
Plants do this in order to rid themselves of extra water. Stomata of plants generally close during the night so this does not happen until the plant begins the photosynthesis process the following day.
What is transpiration?
300
Life cycle process of an angiosperm that includes the early growth of an embryo, getting food from what is stored in the seed.
What is germination?
300
The main difference between a gymnosperm and an angiosperm.
What are the names of cone-bearing (naked seed) and flowering producing (seed contains an ovary, which protects the egg and sperm cell) plants?
400
The outermost part of a leaf. Protects the leaf with a waxy, waterproof coating. (Hint: a human's top layer of skin also is called this)
What is the epidermis?
400
Food minerals, and water are able to transport themselves through a land plant via these two types of tissue
What is xylem and phloem?
400
Some plants have different types of these in order to collect more sunlight or store more water, an adaptation for plants to be able to live on land.
What are simple and compound leaves?
400
Seed formation starts with this process, just prior to the seed going "dormant", where it can prepare for growth.
What is the process of the egg and sperm cell joining to form a seed?
400
This substance builds up and thickens, protecting a tree year after year. (Hint: Two rings every year are created by it.)
What is xylem?
500
This specific type of brown algae can be used as food, however, at one time it was feared by sailors due to its size and eerie characteristics of being able to wrap around their ships as a "monster"
What is sargassum?
500
This type of plant, though it does not produce seeds, is able to live deep in the ocean since it has the capability of collecting the sun's rays without having to reside on the surface of a body of water.
What is red algae?
500
A plant's reaction to a stimulus, such as light or gravity.
What is tropism?
500
Tiny dust particles are sent from a plant in order to reproduce a seed. These tiny particles begin the life-cycle of a flowering plant.
What is the release of pollen?
500
Simple land plants, such as moss, are known as this type of plant, since they stay low to the ground and are unable to quickly transfer nutrients and water throughout the plant like their close relative, the fern.
