Ch 5: Seed Plants

Front 1

Phloem

Back 1

- Is the vascular tissue through which food moves.

Front 2

Xylem

Back 2

- Water and minerals, on the other hand travel in the vascular tissue.

Front 3

Pollen

Back 3

- Tiny structures that contain the cells that will later become sperm cells.

Front 4

Seed

Back 4

- Is a structure that contains a young plant inside a protective covering.

Front 5

Embryo

Back 5

- The young plant that develops from the zygote, or fertilized egg.

Front 6

Cotyledon

Back 6

- In all the seeds, the embryo has one or more leaves is stored.

Front 7

Root Cap

Back 7

- protects the root from injury from rocks as the root grows through the soil.

Front 8

Cambium

Back 8

- which divide to produce new phloem and xylem.

Front 9

Stomata

Back 9

- The surface layers of the leaf have small openings, or pores.

Front 10

Transpiration

Back 10

- The process by which water evaporates from a plants leaves.

Front 11

Section 2: Gymnosperms

Back 11

- Is a seed plant that produces naked seeds.

Front 12

Cones

Back 12

- The reproductive structure of a gymnosperm.

Front 13

Ovule

Back 13

- A plant structure in seed plants that produces the female gametophyte; contains egg cell.

Front 14

Pollination

Back 14

- The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure.

Front 15

Section 3: Angiosperms

Back 15

- A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in a protective structure.

Front 16

Sepals

Back 16

- A leaflike structure that encloses the bud of a flower.

Front 17

Petals

Back 17

- A colorful, leaflike structure of some flowers.

Front 18

Stamens

Back 18

- Are the male reproductive parts.

Front 19

Pistils

Back 19

- Are the female part of the flower

Front 20

Fruit

Back 20

- The ripened ovary and other structures of an angiosperm that enclose one or more seeds.

Front 21

Monocots

Back 21

- Are angiosperms that have only one seed leaf.

Front 22

Dicots

Back 22

- Produce seeds with two seed leaves.

Front 23

Precision Farming

Back 23

- A farming method in which farmers fine-tune the amount of fertilizer they use to the requirements of a specific field.

Front 24

Hydroponics

Back 24

- Is a farming method in which plants are grown in solutions of nutrients instead of in soil.

Front 25

Genetic Engineering

Back 25

- Scientists alter an organism's genetic material to produce an organism with qualities that people find useful.
