Non-vascular plants (bryophytes)

Examples of these plants are mosses, liverworts and hornworts

Pteridophyte and seed plants

Two types of vascular plants

Pteridophytes

A vascular plant that has mostly ferns ; only have roots, stems and fronds and reproduce by spores

Front (Term)

Back (Definition)

Ethylene

This plant hormone function is in charge of ripening of fruit

Abscisic acid

This plant hormone function is in charge of water control and control of stomata

Cytokinin

This plant hormone function is for cell division and cell repair

Benthos

This ocean life form are organisms on the seabed (starfish, corals, crab)

Nekton

This ocean life form are organisms that swim (fish, squid, shrimp)

Plankton

This ocean life form are organisms that float or drift on the water surface (algae, bacteria, sea urchin, starfish, fish and crustacean larvae)

Adaptation

“Fitness” for an organism to survive in its environment; possession of favorable characteristics

Inheritance of acquired characteristics

This theory by Lamark says that traits develop or acquired during an organisms life time or pass on to its offspring

Darwins theory of evolution

Diverse groups of organisms evolved from a common ancestor or descent

Front (Term)

Back (Definition)

Natural selection

What is the main mechanism for evolution?

Monocot and dicot

Types of angiosperms

1 cotyledon, parallel veins, petals and sepals in 3s and fibrous roots

Characteristics of monocot angiosperm

2 cotyledons, netted veins, petals and sepals in 4s or 5s; and taproot

Characteristics of dicot angiosperm

Slow and permanent reaction by plants

Tropism

Phototropism

Tropism to light

Geotropism

Tropism to gravity

Thigmotropism

Tropism to touch

Auxin

This plant hormone function is in charge of cell differentiation, cell elevation and plant growth
