Front 6

which of the following are organs of plants

Back 6

roots, stems, leaves

Front 7

write the correct equation for photosynthesis

write the correct equation for cellular respiration

Back 8

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Back 20

they are nonvascular

Front 21

list some vegetative propagations of plants

Front 25

nonvascular plants live in an environment that is

Back 25

wet/moist

Front 26

vascular plants are divided into

Back 26

seed and seedless

Front 27

explain the difference between monocots and dicots. Use cotyledon, flower parts, vascular bundles, and vein arrangement

Back 27

Monocots have one cotyledon, parallel veins, flower parts in multiples of 3, scattered vascular tissue.

Dicots have two cotyledons, netlike veins, flower parts in multiples of 2,4,5, scattered vascular tissue

Front 28

list the organs of plants and tell the functions of each

Back 28

root- absorbs nutrients from soil, holds plant/soil in place

stem- holds plant upright, store nutrients

leaves- photosynthesis takes place, transpiration takes place
