Biology Plant Kingdom

Front 1

The waxy waterproof coating on stems and leaves of plants that prevent water loss

Back 1

cuticle

Front 2

a broad, flat structure of a plant that traps light energy for photosynthesis

Back 2

leaf

Front 3

pores of the leaf. openings in the cuticles of leaves that control water loss

Back 3

stomata

Front 4

cells that controll the size of the openings in the stomata according to the amount of water in the plant.

Back 4

guard cells

Front 5

loss of water through the stomata

Back 5

transpiration

Front 6

a plant organ that absorbs water and minerals from the soil, transports the nutrients to the stem, and anchors the plant in the ground

Back 6

root

Front 7

provides structural support for upright growth and contains tissues for transporting food, water, and other materials.

Back 7

stem

Front 8

tissues that provides a covering for the plant.

Back 8

dermal tissues

Front 9

tissues that transport food and water throughout the plant.

Back 9

vascular tissues

Front 10

tissues that produce and store food.

Back 10

ground tissues

Front 11

produce new growth

Back 11

meristems

Front 12

plant tissue composed of tubular cells that transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Back 12

xylem

Front 13

made up of a series of tubular cells that are still living and transport sugars from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Back 13

phloem

Front 14

Two main divisions of the Plant Kingdom

Back 14

seed and non seed

Front 15

7 divisions
Release hard walled reproductive cells called spores.
Vascular or non-vascular

Back 15

Non-seed plants

Front 16

5 divisions
release seeds for reproduction
vascular

Back 16

Back 23

ethylene

Front 24

plants that live for a year or less

Back 24

annuals

Front 25

2 year lifespan

Back 25

biennials

Front 26

live for several years producing flowers and seed periodically.

Back 26

perennials

Front 27

plant responses to external stimuli that comes from a particular direction

Back 27

tropism

Front 28

growth of a plant towards light

Back 28

phototropism

Front 29

direction of plant life in response to gravity

Back 29

gravitropism

Front 30

growth in response to touch

Back 30

Front 32

How does the phloem relate to photosynthesis?

Back 32

It creates sugars

Front 33

How does the xylem relate to photosynthesis?

Back 33

Brings water from roots

Front 34

How does the stomata relate to photosynthesis?

Back 34

Brings in Carbon Dioxide and out Oxygen.
