|
The difference between XYLEM and PHLOEM |
Xylem carries water and minerals only up, is in the center, has thick cell walls, supports the plant Phloem carries food/glucose up AND down |
|
|
The difference between Monocot and DICOT How many cotyledons, type of roots, tubes in stem, veins in leaves, flower multiples |
BOTH HAVE SEED COATS Monocots have 1 cotyledon, fibrous roots, scattered tubes in stem; no pattern, parallel veins in leaves, flowers are multiples of 3 Dicots have 2 cotyledons, 1taproot + secondary roots, tubes in stem arranged around a central ring, intersecting leaf veins; branching pattern, flowers are multiples of 2, 4, or 5 |
|
|
The difference between PERFECT and IMPERFECT flowers |
Perfect flowers have both male and female reproductive organs, imperfect flowers only have one or the other |
|
|
The difference between STOMATA and GUARD CELLS The difference between CHLOROPLAST and CHLOROPHYLL |
A stomata is like a mouth, guard cells are like lips Chloroplasts are plastids that contains chlorophyll, photosynthesis occurs here. Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants. |
|
|
Transpiration is... |
When water passes from the inside of the leaf into oxygen/water vapor |
|
|
Dormancy is... |
When seeds don't do activity to survive, an inactive period |
|
|
The process of photosynthesis is... |
When chlorophyll absorbs light energy to convert to carbon dioxide and water into glucose, this releases oxygen |
|
|
Macronutrients are... |
Chemical elements required in large amounts for plant growth and development. Ex. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium |
|
|
Fertilizers provide to plants... |
Chemical elements needed for growth. |
|
|
Seed dispersal is... |
Transportation of seeds away from the parent plant. |
|
|
A seed contains... How does it develop? |
An embryo; root beginning, stem, leaves, and cotyledons. It develops from the fertilized ovules in the female plant. |
|
|
Cotyledons are... |
Seed leaves |
|
|
What enters or exits through the stomata? |
Carbon dioxide enters, water and oxygen exits |
|
|
Why are plants green? |
Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red, the rest of the sunlight spectrum is being reflected, causing the green look. |
|
|
What are producers? |
Organisms that can make its own food. |
|
|
The male and female reproductive structures in a plant are... |
Male: The stamen. It contains the anther, pollen, and the filament Female: The carpel/pistil. It contains the sticky stigma, style, and the ovary. |
|
|
Functions of roots... Root hairs... Stems... |
Roots store food, absorbs water and minerals, and anchors/supports the plant. Root hairs increase the surface area and collect water and mineral nutrients. Stems transport water, minerals, and foot to the leaves, and support the elevation of leaves, flowers, and fruits. |
|
|
The correct order of fertilization, germination, and pollination |
Pollination, fertilization, then germination IF IT STARTS WITH A SEED germination, pollination, then fertilization |
