|
What are the two classes of plants? |
Seed production plants and non-seed producing plants. |
|
|
What are the two different types of seed producing plants? |
Gymnosperms and angiosperms. |
|
|
What are the four different types of plant tissues? |
Dermal, vascular, ground, and meristematic. |
|
|
What organs are a part of the plants? |
Stems, leaves, flowers, roots, and fruit. |
|
|
What are the two organ systems of a plant? |
The root system and the shoot system. |
|
|
What colour are plant usually and due to what? |
Green, due to chlorophyll. |
|
|
What are the functions of the shoot system? |
-To trap light energy for photosynthesis. -Producing sugar from photosynthesis. -Exchanging of gases. -Support, reproduction, protection, attraction, and water storage. |
|
|
What is the structure of a leaf? |
Wax cuticle. Upper epidermis. Palisade mesophyll. Spongy mesophyll. Lower epidermis and stoma and guard cells. Wax cuticle. |
|
|
What is the male part of the flower? |
The anther. |
|
|
What is the use of the anther? |
To produce pollen which manufactures sperm. |
|
|
What is the female part of the flower? |
The ovule. |
|
|
What is the use of the ovule? |
To produce eggs. |
|
|
What are seeds (eggs) often contained in? |
Fruit. |
|
|
What is the function of the root system? |
Anchors the plant to the ground and absorbs nutrients and water from the soil. |
|
|
What are the two different types of dermal tissue? |
Epidermal and periderm tissue. |
|
|
Describe epidermal tissue: |
Thin, square shaped cells covering the surface of the leaves, stems, and roots. |
|
|
Describe periderm tissue: |
Forms the bark on stems and large roots. |
|
|
What is dermal tissue? |
The tissue that covers the whole outside of the plant. |
|
|
What is vascular tissue? |
Cells form a system of tubes for transporting material all over the plant. Arranged in bundles. |
|
|
What are the two different types of vascular tissue? |
Xylem and phloem tissue. |
|
|
Describe xylem tissue: |
-Transports water and minerals taken in by the roots upward to all parts of the plant. -large cells that form hollow tubes. -xylem cells are dead. |
|
|
Describe phoem tissue: |
-Transports sollutions containing sugar produced from photosynthesis to all cells. -move dissloved nutrients and hormones. -movement can go in two directions. -cells are living, small, and remain to the outside of the bundle. |
|
|
Describe the ground tissue: |
-Carry out photosynthesis (in leaves) -Store carbohydrates (in roots). -Provide support and storage (in stem). |
|
|
What are the two different types of unspecialized cells? |
Apical Meristem and Lateral Meristem. |
|
|
Where do you find apical meristem? |
On the tips of roots and shoots. |
|
|
Where do you find lateral meristem? |
The outer layer of the stem/trunk. |
