Plant Structures
100
Plants that have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances
What is vascular?
100
The layer of a leaf that has closely packed cells that carry on the majority of photosynthesis.
What is palisade layer or mesophyll?
100
A nonvascular plant that used to be used as an herb for the liver
What is liverworts?
100
The hollow, tubular cells that transport liquid and other dissolved substances.
What is xylem?
100
The two types of root systems.
What are tap root and fibrous root system?
200
Plants that lack tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances.
What is nonvascular?
200
The part where the leaf attaches to the stem.
What is node?
200
A nonvascular plant that looks like cattle horns
What is hornworts?
200
The two transport tissues in vascular plants (one transports liquids and the other nutrients)

Three nonvascular plant examples.
What are moss, liverworts, and hornworts?
300
The layer of leaf tissue with loosely packed cells and air spaces between the cells
What is spongy mesophyll or layer?
300
The most common type of vascular seedless plant.

500
A tissue that produces most of the new xylem and phloem cells – it increases the thickness of stems & roots
What is cambium?
500
Few cells thick and not very tall, rhizoids instead of roots, water absorbed directly by cell membranes, and reproduce by spores.
What are the characteristics of nonvascular plants?
500
The four common organs of seed plants.
What are leaf, stem, root, and vascular tissue?
500
Three types of leaf arrangements on a stem.
