What are characteristics of almost all plants?

Multi-celled


Fixed in one spot


Photosynthetic


Have cell walls reproduce through an alteration of generations

What is the relationship to the gases is in the atmosphere?

Oxygen-produced by the plant and released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide-taken up by the plant and turned into sugars.


Nitrogen-cannot be used directly, must be altered by bacteria in the soil, then taken up by the plant.

What organelle is found in plant cells that is not in animal cells?

Chloroplasts

An alteration of generations, what are the names of the two generations?

Sporophyte and gametophyte

Which one is diploid?

Sporophyte

Which one produces sex cells?

Gametophyte

What is the name of the reproductive cell produced by the sporophyte?

Spore

In most plants, the sporophyte plant is the one we are most familiar with. In which plant group is the gametophyte plant the most conspicuous?

Bryophytes (mosses)

What are the four plant groups?

Bryophytes


Seedless vascular plants


Gymnosprems


Angiosperm

Which of them do not have vascular tissues for couching water?

All four gametophyte plants are without vascular tissues, and the sporophyte generation of bryophytes does not have vascular tissue.

How does the speed find the egg in the four groups?

Swimming in mosses and ferns, blown by wind in gymnosperms, animal pollination in angiosperms.

What is a seed?

A sporophyte embryo surrounded by a food supply and covered by a protective coat.

How does pollination increase the chances of fertilization in angiosperms compared to gymnosperms?

Animals pick up pollen from one flower and take it to another flower in angiosperms; in angiosperms; the pollen is carried in any direction by the wind.

What things do angiosperms use to attract pollinators?

Flower colors and patterns


Fragrance


Nectar

Structures on gymnosperms that produce pollen and eggs are called______________.

Cones

What is a fruit?

An edible covering for the seeds-found only in angiosperms

A pollen grain contains two kinds of cells. What are they?

Speed and pollen tube cell

A plant grows toward light. This is called________________.


What hormone is involved?

Phototropism



Auxin

What effect does the hormone have?

Causes the shaded side to grow faster than the light side

Roots grow down, shoots grow up. This is calles____________.

Gravitropism

Photoperiodism is the plant's adjusting its growth to the day/night cycle. What is the critical factor?

Length of darkness

When would a short-day plant flower?

Short day plant are long night plants. They would flower when nights got longer - late summer or fall.


What are the functions of roots?

Anchor the plant


Absorb water and nutrients


Store food

What are the functions of shoots?

Produce leaves for photosynthesis


Raises leaves to get more sun


Resist gravity


Produces flower


Seeds and fruit


Store food

The purpose of:


1 Dermal tissue-


2 Vascular tissue-


3 Meristematic tissue-


4 Ground tissue-

1 to cover the plant


2 to conduct water and food around the plant


3 site of plant growth


4 support and storage for the plant

What does it mean to be a monocotyledon?

When the sees germinates


The emerging shoot has only one leaf

Ground, dermal and vascular tissue are all produced by apical meristems. Where are they found?

At the tips of shoots and the tips of roots, at the junction of the leaf with the stem.

The place on the stem where the leaf attaches is called the_______________?

Node

The area of the stem between one leaf attaches is called the______________?

Internode

What hormone causes an increase in growth in this area?

Gibberellin

Most leaves have a short stalk that attaches them to the stem called a___________?

Petiole

The angle between the leaf attachment and the stem contains a structure called the_______________. What develops from this structure?

Lateral bud



Branches

What is the name of the cell type in meristems?

Stem cell

What are stomata?

Paired guard cells on the bottom of leaves that can open and close

What are functions of stomata?

Open to let water vapor out of leaves


Let oxygen out of leaves


Let carbon dioxide into leaves


Close to prevent water loss

What are the stimuli for opening or closing of stomata?

Light to open, darkness or dryness to close

Process that moves water from the soil city plant is called________________.


Does this process require ATP?

Transpiration



No

The water enters the plant at the____________.

Roots

The water travels to the plant in the _____________.

Xylem

The water leaves the plant at the___________.

Stomata

Energy must be involved since water is being pulled up against gravity. Where does the energy come from?

A drop in pressure occurs when liquid water turns to (evaporates) water vapor. The pressure drop acts as a section on the liquid water left behind.

Food in a plant is mostly in what form?


It travels in what vessel?


Does this process require ATP?

Sucrose


Phloem


Yes

Where is the food made?

Leaves

The place where the food is made is called the source. The food is and transport it to where it is needed. These places are called___________?

Sinks

What is secondary growth?

Increase in the diameter of the shoot and root.

What tissue is responsible for secondary growth?

Vascular cambium

Increase in diameter of the shoot causes the dermal tissue to break apart and fall off. What replaces it?

Bark

Where does the new covering come from?

Cork cambium

Each year the vascular cambium produces new phloem to the outside and new xylem to the inside. The xylem from previous years is called____________?

Wood

What happens to the phloem from previous years?


Why?

It is crushed by the new growth.


Phloem is soft, living cells. Xylem is made of hard cell wall left over from cells that have died.

Lateral buds closest to the tips of the shoots do not grow into branches. Why not?

Their growth is suppressed by auxin produced in the apical meristem at the tip of the shoot.

What do lateral buds farther from the shoot tip grow into branches?


This kind of growth pattern is calls_________________.

The concentration of auxin decreases with the distance from the shoot tip.



Apical dominance

Why do plants have the conflict between lateral buds and the apical bud?

Because the primary goal of the plan is to grow straight up to compete for sunlight.

What hormone causes fruit to ripen?

Ethylene
