xylem
which theory/hypothesis goes with xylem tissue
cohesion-tension theory
what does phloem tissue carry?
organic nutrients
in what direction does phloem tissue transport things
in any direction
which tissue (xylem or phloem) is alive at maturity?
phloem
which tissue has tracheids and vessel elements?
phloem
tracheid
long, thick-walled sclerenchyma cell with tapering ends
pits
thin, pourous areas of cell wall (how water gets from tracheid to tracheid)
vessel element
sclerenchyma cell that has either large holes in top and botom walls or no end walls at all
vessels
vessel elements stacked in tubes
which theory/hypothesis goes with phloem tissue
pressure-flow hypothesis
nonvascular plants are called
bryophytes
nonvascular plants have seeds or spores?
spores
nonvascular plants need water to do what
reproduce sexually
life cycle of plants is called
alternation on generations
what plants have rhizoids instead of roots
nonvascular
rhizoids
basically roots of nonvascular plants
phylum bryphyta

vascular plants have...
vascular tissue, true roots, stems, and leaves
vascular plants are better that nonvascular in that they
grow larger
live in more environments

monocotyledon
dicotyledon
fruit
a ripened ovary that surrounds the seeds
ovary
the females part of the flower that encloses the eggs
angiosperm kind of pollination
animal pollination
what kind of plants are most likely to associate with mycorrhizae?
