Plant Parts
Three types of plant organs
What are roots, stems and leaves?
Provides support and structure in a plant and is made largely of cellulose
What is the cell wall?
A pigment contained in green plant organs
What is chlorophyll?
Where most plants absorb the water & minerals they need
What are the roots?
Pick the plant clipping with leaves having one main vein extending the length of the leaf and name it
What is pinnate venation?
The region where a leaf is or was attached to the stem
What is the node?
Necessary for the plants survival. Chloroplasts are an example these structures.
What plastids?
Where most plants carry on photosynthesis
What are leaves?
The transport process whereby water enters the xylem cells in the root
What is osmosis?
Pick the plant clipping that has large veins running length-wise and arranged next to each other at equal distances up and down the blade, name it
What is parallel venation?
The two types of root systems in a plant
What are taproot and fibrous root?
Plant tissue that is made primarily of long, hollow cells, much like miniature straws, that carries water throughout the plant.
What is xylem?
The things required for photosynthesis besides sunlight
What are water and carbon dioxide?
The openings found on the underside of leaves where water and gases like O2 and CO2 leave the plant
What are stomata?
Pick a plant clipping with one leaf at each node, name it
What is alternate leaf arrangement?
The tissues that carry water and sugar-containing solutions in the plant
What are veins?
Plant tissue that carries a sugar solution to the growing regions of a plant
What is phloem?
The cellular process that converts the sugar produced by photosynthesis into usable energy for the plant.
What is aerobic cellular respiration?
The cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata to regulate water and gas leaving the plant
What are guard cells?
Pick a plant clipping with two leaves at each node, name it
What is opposite leaf arrangement?
The stem type that is more flexible
What is an herbaceous stem?
The outermost tissue of leaves, young roots and young stems
What is the epidermis?
The layer of tissue under the epidermis of the leaf with tightly packed cells containing lots of chloroplasts; a word meaning "stake" in Latin
What is the palisade layer?
The exiting of water through the stomata, and is necessary so that water will rise from the roots
What is transpiration?
The part of the leaf between the blade and the node
What is the petiole?
