Biology Chapter 14

Front 1

Plant

Back 1

A multicellular eukaryote that produces it's own food by carrying out photosynthesis and has an embryo that develops within the protected environment of the female plant

Front 2

Roots

Back 2

The part of a plant below the ground

Front 3

Shoot

Back 3

Above ground, consists of a stem and leaves

Front 4

Almost all plants share what three characteristics?

Back 4

Create their own food

Sessile and mostly terrestrial

Multicellular

Front 5

Nonvascular

Back 5

Lacking tubelike vessels to transport water and nutrients

Front 6

Bryophytes

Back 6

Three groups of plants (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses) that use diffusion to move

Front 7

Gametophyte

Back 7

The haploid part of the life cycle of a moss

Front 8

Sporophyte

Back 8

The diploid part of the life cycle of the moss

Front 9

Spores

Back 9

Single cells, containing DNA, RNA, and a few proteins

Front 10

Vascular plants

Back 10

A plant that is characterized by the presence of conducting tissues

Front 11

Sporangia

Back 11

The receptacle on the underside of the leaf where spores are produced

Free-living haploid stage of a fern

Front 13

Seed

Back 13

An embryonic plant with it's own supply of water and nutrients encased within a protective coating

Front 14

Endosperm

Back 14

A store of nutrients, mostly starch, that fuels the seed's initial growth

Back 30

Flowering plants

Front 31

Double fertilization

Back 31

The process in which two sperm enter the ovule and combine with female cells in two separate events, forming 1) a zygote and 2) an endosperm
