vascular plants
|
plants that have transport tissue for carring water, nutrients, and sugar
|
|
|
xylem
|
tissue that carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves
|
|
|
phloem
|
tissue that carries sugar from the leaves to other cells of the plant
|
|
|
non vascular plants
|
plants that lack tissues that transport water, nutrients and sugar
|
|
|
tropism
|
a growth response of a plant toward or away from anything in its environment
|
|
|
phototropism
|
the directional growth response of plants to light
|
|
|
gravitropism
|
the response of a plant to gravity
|
|
|
moss
|
a small plant that is non-vascular
|
|
|
asexual reprodution
|
a new plant is formed without the joining of an egg cell and a sperm
|
|
|
spores
|
structures that contain cells that can grow into new plants without joining other cells
|
|
|
ferns
|
are vascular plants that were the first plants with roots
|
|
|
gymnosperm
|
the seeds that are not surrounded by fruit
|
|
|
conifers

cone-bearing gymnosperms
|
|
|
angiosperm
|
is a flowering vascular plant whose seeds are surrounded by fruit
|
|
|
pollination
|
is the first step in an angiosperm reprodution, and it occurs when pollen from an anther lands on the stigma of a flower of the same kind
|
|
|
fruit
|
is the ripped ovary of a flowering plant
|
|
|
what is the process when sperm cells from pollen grains join with egg cells
|
the process is sexual reprodution
|
|
|
what is transpiration
|
the loss of water from the plant which is like the movement of water in your mouth
|
|
|
why does a plant grow towards light
|
because of phototropism the plants movement towards light
|
|
|
where do most ferns live
|
cooler drier temperate forest
|
|
|
what is needed for photosynthesis
|
it needs water,carbon dioxide and sunlight
