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.
