Translocation-
|
the process by which organic substances move through the phloem of a plant.
|
|
Xylem-
|
cells die when they mature. They arejust tubes
|
|
Phloem-
|
alive cells; because they expend energyto guide the flow of organic molecules through the plant. Actively participatein translocation.
|
|
As aplant develops, it grows. Much of its growth happens in the______________ tissue.
|
meristematic
|
|
Hormones-
|
chemicals that circulate throughoutmulticellular organisms, regulating cellular processes by interacting withspecifically targeted cells
|
|
5 groups of plant hormones:
|
auxins, Gibberellins,Thigmotropism, Cytokinins, Abscisic , Ethylene
|
|
auxins-
|
regulate development of cells. It affects the length of the stem.
|
|
Gibberellins-
|
affect the mitosis rate, also induces seeds to germinate.
|
|
Thigmotropism
|
growth response to touch
|
|
Phototropism
|
growth in response to light
|
|
Gravitropism
|
growth response to gravity
|
|
Insectivorous plants are sometimes called _____________ plants
|
carnivorous
|
|
Why do insectivorous plants catch insects? |
Becausethey need other raw materials to live. They have been designed to live in soilsthat have few or no raw materials.
|
|
One ofthe most important raw material a plant needs for biosynthesis is____________.
|
nitrogen
|
|
Vegetative reproduction is____________reproduction
|
asexual
|
|
Give examples of vegetative reproduction |
runners, plantlets, tubers (potatoes), regular stems, leaves, and grafting.
|
|
Flowering Plants in Phylum Anthophyta is an example of _____________ reproduction
|
Sexual
|
|
The _____________ contains the reproductive organs and allow plants to reproduce sexually in Phylum Anthrophyta
|
flower
|
|
Pedicel- - >
|
stem that holds the flower
|
|
sepals
|
green leaf-like structures above the pedicel. Designed to protect the reproductive organs as they form.
|
|
petals-
|
leaf-like structures above the sepals.
|
|
stamens
|
male reproductive organs. Have long filaments to support the anther.
|
|
Anther |
The anther releases the pollen grains
|
|
Pollengrains
|
contain haploid cells that function as sperm.
|
|
carpel-
|
female reproductive organs (also known as the pistil)
|
|
The stigma is _________________________________________.
|
covered with a sticky substance designed to catch the pollen grains.
|
|
The style is an extension of the __________designed to hold the stigma where it can be exposed to the pollen grains.
|
ovary
|
|
Ovary contains the___________________________
|
ovule that holds the embryo sac.
|
|
Embryo sac contains the ____________________________ |
egg, where the seeds develops. |
|
What are the two kinds of flower classes? |
perfect and imperfect |
|
Perfectflowers-
|
flowers with both stamens and carpels.
|
|
Imperfect flowers-
|
flowers with either stamens or carpels, but not both.
|
|
Reproductive process We know that ____________ make pollen grains and carpels make the embryo sac.
|
stamens
|
|
Carpels make the ____________ sac |
embryo |
|
Zygote is a ________ cell
|
diploid
|
|
Onceour fertilization takes place, the will __________ and the ________develop bymitosis.
|
endosperm and the zygote
|
|
The _______________ develops into the food source for the developing zygote.
|
endosperm
|
|
The _________ _________ for the developing zygote is the cotyledons.
|
food source
|
|
Seed-
|
an ovule with a protective coating, encasing a mature plant embryo and a nutrient source.
|
|
Fruit-
|
a mature ovary that contains seed or seeds.
|
|
The purpose of fruit is ______________________________________________________________________ |
for the dispersal of the seed away from the parent.
