Flowering Plant
|
Angiosperm
|
|
Produces Pollen
|
Anther
|
|
Plant without vascular tissue
|
Bryophyte
|
|
Produced instead of a flower in Gymnosperms
|
Cone
|
|
Connects to the anther
|
Filament
|
|
effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.
|
Flower
|
|
have male and female parts
|
Perfect flower
|
|
1)once the egg inside the ovule is fertilized by the male pollen then the ovule begins to develop into a seed
2) The seed contains the embryo (fertilized egg) and a food supply for the embryo 3) The ovary enlarges into a _____ |
Fruit
|
|
Do not produce flowers
|
Gymnosperms
|
|
This protects the ovule and once fertilization has taken place it will become the fruit.
|
Ovary
|
|
used to attract insects into the flower, they may have guidelines on them and be scented.
|
Petal
|
|
carries organic nutrients, in particular, glucose to all parts of the plant where needed
|
Phloem
|
|
Step 1 - pollen grain lands on stigma
Step 2 - interaction between stigma and pollen grain forms a “pollen tube” which grows down to the ovary Step 3 - pollen grains travel down the tube and fertilize the eggs; fertilization time varies greatly. Fertilization in a geranium takes a few hours while in an orchid it takes a few months |
Pollination
|
|
1) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients,
2) anchoring of the plant body to the ground and 3) storage of food and nutrients and 4) to prevent soil erosion. |
Root
|
|
protect the flower while the flower is developing from a bud.
|
Sepal
|
|
support the leaves and flowers and they carry water and food from place to place within the plant.
|
Stem
|
|
Is covered in a sticky substance that the pollen grains will stick to.
|
Stigma
|
|
raises the stigma away from the Ovary to decrease the likelihood of pollen contamination.
|
Style
|
|
The primary components of __________ ___________ are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally
|
Vascular Tissue
|
|
basic function is to transport water
|
Xylem
|
|
3 Functions of leaves
|
1)make food through photosynthesis
2)Gas Exchange- Respiration 3)Water Transport- Transpiration |
|
What structures enable plants to gather nutrients without moving from place to place
|
Chloroplasts,
Roots, Stoma |
|
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
|
Diffusion
|
|
A material is ____________ if it allows molecules to pass through.
|
Permeable
|
|
The diffusion of water molecules across a permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to low.
|
Osmosis
|
|
the cell swells or possibly explodes
|
Hypotonic
|
|
the cell shrinks
|
Hypertonic
|
|
there is no change in the cell
|
Isotonic
|
|
The transport of materials against a concentration gradient requires ATP
|
Active Transport
|
|
There are some molecules that are too large to pass through the cell membrane.
Therefore, some molecules must undergo passive transport by means of transport proteins. |
Facilitated Diffusion
|
|
Some cells can take in large molecules, groups of molecules, or even whole cells through.
|
Endocytosis
|
|
Cells expel wastes and secrete cellular products.
|
Exocytosis
|
|
Animals use this to get energy from food
|
Respiration
|
|
Plants produce
|
Glucose
|
|
Formula for photosynthesis
|
Energy form sun + CO2+ H20---> 02+ C6H1206
|
|
Formula for respiration
|
glucose + O2 ---> CO2 +H2O + energy
|
|
Chloroplasts contain a pigment called ____________
|
Chlorophyll
|
|
In which organelle of the cell does aerobic respiration take place?
|
Mitochondria
|
|
Is always the producer is a food web
|
Plants
|
|
Gets the energy first from the producer in a food web
|
Primary consumer
|
|
Get the energy second from the producer in a food web
|
Secondary Consumer
|
|
Is the top consumer in a food web
|
Tertiary Consumer
|
|
Is the decomposer in a food web
|
Bacteria
|
|
Only ______ percent of energy is passed between each level in an energy pyramid
|
10%
|
|
Order of ecological organization
|
Organism -> Population -> Community ->Ecosystem -> Biome ->Biosphere
|
|
Both organisms in a relationship benefit
|
Mutualsm
|
|
One organism benefits and one is harmed
|
Parasitism
|
|
One organism is helped and the other is neither helped nor harmed
|
Commensalism
|
|
One organism is helped and the other is killed
|
Predation
|
|
Living factors in an environment
ex- consumers, producers |
Biotic factors
|
|
Non living factors in an environment
ex. water, air |
Abiotic factors
|
|
Difference between primary succession and secondary succession
|
Primary- a change in an environment where soil never existed before.
secondary succession is a process started by an event[1] (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane) that reduces an already established ecosystem |
