- Angiosperms
- most abundant, known as flowering, produces fruit and pollen
- Pollen
- male gamete
- Stem
- transports food and water, holds leaves and flowers, performs photosynthesis, and stores excess food
- Two Types of Root System
- fibrous and tap
- Bark
- composed of dead phloem
- Vascular tissue
- vein, xylem, phloem
- Gametophyte
- performs photosynthesis, makes sex cells, green
- Heartwood
- inactive xylem used for support
- Stomata and Guard Cells
- regulate gases, stomata are openings
- Xylem
- flows upward carrying water to the leaves from roots
- Flowers
- reproductive structures of angiosperns, attracts pollinators
- Pollinators
- insects, wind, birds are attracted to flowers because of smell and color
- Style
- connects stigma to ovary
- Cambium
- found inside phloem
- Photosynthesis
- converison from light energy into chemical energy
- Rhizoids
- thin root-like structures designed to absorb water/minerals and holds steady the plant
- Monocots
- 1 cotyledon, parallel veins, flower parts in 3's, herbacous stem, vascular bundles scattered
- Leaf
- main site of photosynthesis and gas exhange
- Stigma
- sticky landing pad for pollen
- Products of Photosynthesis
- oxygen, glucose
- Tap Root
- one long root that digs deep into the soil
- Stamen
- male part
- Anther
- makes pollen grain
- Palisade Layer
- contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis;long and tightly packed
- Root Cap
- protects root by a layer of dead cells
- Cuticle
- waxy layer which prevents water loss
- Perfect Flower
- has both male/female reproductive parts
- Petals
- attract pollinators
- Root
- absorbs water/minerals, anchors plant
- Root Hairs
- extension of epidermis and increases water absorption
- Filament
- holds up the anther
- Sapwood
- active xylem cells
- Imperfect Flower
- has only one or the other reproductive parts (male/female)
- Apical Meristem
- the tip of the stem that perforoms mitosis
- Gymnosperms
- prduces seeds in cones
- Characteristics of plants
- perform photosynthesis, chloroplasts (chlorophyll), multi-cellular and has a nucleus
- Spongy Layer
- gas exchange for oxygen, carbond dioxide, and water
- Epidermis
- protects leaf
- Two Types of Flowers
- perfect flower and imperfect flower
- Bryophytes
- lack specialized organs, found in moist evironments, no vascular tissue, produces spores
- Pith
- storage
- Materials of Photosynthesis
- light, carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll
- Pistil
- female gamete
- Cortex
- stores excess sugars
- Ferns
- vascular, produce spores, in moist environment, and has fronds
- Ovary
- becomes the fruit
- Dicots
- 2 cotyledons, branced veins, flower parts in 4's or 5's, vascular bundles form rings, have woody stems
- Tracheophytes
- found everywhere except tundras, have specialized organs, have vascular tissue, and produces pollen
- Two Types of Angiosperms
- monocots and dicots
- Sporophyte
- after fertilization makes spores. Has capsule to hold spores
- Sepals
- protect developing flower
- Ovule
- develops into seeds
- Fibrous
- Many shallow roots
- Phloem
- flows downward carrying glucose to the roots from leaves
