|
What are the two different classes of plants? |
Seed producing plants and non-seed producing plants. |
|
|
What are non-flowering plants called? |
Gymnosperms. |
|
|
What are flowering plants called? |
Angiosperms. |
|
|
How do non-seed producing plants reproduce? |
Using spores. |
|
|
What are the different kinds of tissues in plants? |
Dermal tissue. Vascular tissue. Ground tissue. |
|
|
What is the formula for cell respiration? |
Glucose + Oxygen ➡️ Carbon Dioxide + H2O + Usable Chemical Energy. |
|
|
What is the formula for Photosynthesis? |
H2O + Carbon Dioxide ➡️ Glucose + Oxygen.
*In presence of sunlight and Chlorophyll* |
|
|
What ways to plants reproduce? |
Sexual and Asexual reproduction. |
|
|
What are different organs of plants? |
Stems, leaves, roots, fruit, flowers. |
|
|
What are the two different organ systems in a plant? |
Shoot system and Root system. |
|
|
What is the function of the leaves? |
•Trap light energy for photosynthesis. •Produce sugar from photosynthesis. •Exchange gases. |
|
|
What is the structure of a leaf? |
Wax Cuticle. Upper Epidermis. Palisade mesophyll. Spongy Mesophyll. Lower Epidermis + Stoma. Wax Cuticle. |
|
|
What is the male part of the flower called and what does it do? |
The Anther produces pollen which manufactures sperm. |
|
|
What is the female part of the flower called and what does it do? |
The Ovule produced eggs. |
|
|
How does the root system rely on the shoot system? |
Lacking chloroplasts and living in the dark, roots would starve without the sugar and other organic nutrients imported from the photosynthesis tissue of the shoot system. |
|
|
How does the shoot system rely on the root system? |
The shoot system relies on the water and minerals absorbed from the soil by the roots. |
|
|
What are the two types of Dermal tissue? |
Epidermal and Periderm. |
|
|
What does the Epidermal tissue do? |
Are the thin, square shaped cells that cover the outer layer of stems, leaves, and roots. |
|
|
What does the Periderm tissue do? |
Forms the bark on stems and large roots. |
|
|
What are the two types of vascular tissue? |
Xylem and Phloem. |
|
|
What is the function of Dermal tissue? |
Covers the outer layer of the plant. |
|
|
What is the function of Vascular tissue? |
What makes up the tubes responsible for transporting material all over the plant. |
|
|
What is the function of Xylem tissue? |
What transports water and minerals taken up by the roots to be brought all over the plants. Xylem cells are generally no longer living. |
|
|
What is the function of Phloem tissue? |
What transports sugar solutions created through photosynthesis to all cells in the plant. |
|
|
What is the function of Ground Tissue? |
•In leaves they carry out photosynthesis. •In roots they store carbohydrates. •In stems the provide storage and support. |
|
|
The flower attaches to what part of the plant? |
The receptacle. |
|
|
Why are flowers so brightly coloured? |
So insects and small animals are attracted. |
|
|
If the petels of a flower are reduced or absent, how is the plant pollinated? |
Wind and water. |
|
|
Unspecialized cells in plants are called what? |
Meristematic. |
|
|
What are the two different types of meristematic cells? |
Apical meristem and Lateral meristem. |
|
|
Where are Apical Meristem found? |
Tips of roots and shoots. |
|
|
Where are Lateral Meristem cells found? |
In the stem of a woody plant. |
|
|
How does Apical meristem allow a plant to grow. |
In height. |
|
|
How does Lateral meristem allow a plant to grow? |
In diameter. |
|
|
What two tissues are found within the vein of a leaf? |
Xylem and Phloem. |
|
|
What is the outer most layer of cells? |
Epidermis. |
|
|
What is the waxy covering of the leaf? |
The cuticle. |
|
|
What cells function to open and close the Stomata? |
Guard cells. |
|
|
What is the outer layer of the vein? |
Bundle sheath cells. |
|
|
What are the column like cells that lie just under the epidermis? |
Palisade cells. |
|
|
What are the openings that allow for gas exchange? |
The stomata. |
|
|
What is the stalk that connects the leaf to the stem? |
The petiole. |
