Organ System |
A group of organs working together to carry out specific roles and functions. |
|
|
How many organ systems are there in the human body? |
11 |
|
|
Clones (Asexual reproduction). |
In plants, a single parent produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Does not involve the formation of flowers and seeds or fruits. Natural or artificial. |
|
|
Regeneration |
In natural asexual production in plants: grow to a new individual from a fragment of a stem, leaf or root. |
|
|
Vegetative reproduction |
Stems, roots, or leaves that attach to a parent plant produces new plants. Under this are runners (stolons and rhizomes), tubers, bulbs, corms, plantlets. |
|
|
Runners |
Stolons (aboveground) from which roots of new plants start to grow, rhizomes give rise to a new plant and with modified stem specialized for reproduction (underground). |
Strawberry (stolon); ginger, running bamboo (rhizomes) |
|
Tubers |
Underground storage stems from which new plants can grow after a dormant season. |
|
|
Corms |
Underground stems that contain nodes where new plants may arise. |
Banana |
|
Plantlets |
Miniature version of parents plants |

|
Artificial asexual reproduction |
When humans manipulate the process of vegetative reproduction; grafting (stems are used), budding (buds are used scions attached to the parent plant). |
|
|
Sexual reproduction |
-for angiosperms and flowering plants -producing male and female structures gametes (usually occur in the same flower) -pollen grains (male gametophyte), embryo sac (female gametophyte) |
|
|
Self pollination |
Pollen falls from anther to stigma of the same flower. |
|
|
Crossing pollination |
Transfer of pollen to another plant of the same species (genetic recombination). |
|
|
Seed |
Developed from an ovule, often with a tough coat that protects the developing plant and its food supply. |
|
|
Fruit |
As the seed develops, the ovary grows larger and develops into a fruit which is an enlarged ovary of a flowering plants containing seeds. |
|
|
Asexual reproduction |
In animals: -Binary fission -budding -fragmentation -regeneration |
|
|
Sexual reproduction |
In animals: -syngamy -conjugation |
|

|
|
Fragmentation |
Body is divided into 2 more parts, with each fragment developing into an organism like the parent. |
|
|
Regeneration |
Detached parts can grow back |
|
|

|
|
Absorption |
