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 |
