Definition
Sporophyte
Diploid
Term
What is the sexual stage in plants in the generic cycle? Is it haploid or diploid?

Gametophyte
Haploid
Term
What is the chromosome number of spores?
Definition
1N

Definition
1N
Term
What is the name of the category of plants that have no water transportation system?
Definition
Nonvascular
Term
What is the name of the category of plants that have a water transportation system?
Definition
Vascular
Term
What are the two different types of vascular plants?
Definition
Seeds and Seedless
Term
What are the two different types of Vascular Seeding plants?
Definition
Gymnosperm
Angiosperm
Term
What are the traits of a gymnosperm?
Definition
Cones, naked seeds
Term
What are the traits of an angiosperm?
Definition
Flowers, fruits
Term
True or False:
Nonvascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves.
Definition
False
Term
What is the name of the structure in nonvascular plants that anchor it to the ground?
Definition
Rhizoids
Term
What are the leaf like structures in nonvascular plants called?
Definition
Blades
Term
What are the stem like structures in nonvascular plants called?
Definition
Stipes
Term
How do nonvascular plants transport things at a molecular level such as water?
Definition
Diffusion
Term
In nonvascular plants, how do the sperm get to the eggs?
Definition
Morning Dew
(sperm can smell where eggs are)
Term
True or False:
In the alternation of generations for mosses, the sporophyte generation is dependent on the gametophyte generation.
Definition
True
Term
What is the name for a young gametophyte in nonvascular plants?
Definition
Protonema
Term
What is the dominant generation in nonvascular plants such as mosses?
Definition
Gametophye
Term
What two things make up the vascular system?
Definition
Phloem and Xylem
Term
What is xylem?
Definition
Dead cells that form tubes in order to transport water up the stem
Term
What is phloem?
Definition
Live cells that make up tubes in order to transport sugar (sucrose)
Term
True or False:
Vascular plants do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.
Definition
False
Term
What does a companion cell do in the vascular system?
Definition
Directs which way the sugar flows
Term
What is the dominant form in alternation of generations in seedless vascular plants such as Ferns?
Definition
Sporophyte Generation
Term
What is the underground root stem called in seedless vascular plants?
Definition
Rhizome
Term
What is the name of the structure that sperm are packaged into in seed plants?
Definition
Pollen
Term
What is different for the alteration of generations in seed plants?
Definition
Spores are not produced. Sporophyte generation goes directly into gametophyte generation.
Term

Definition
Endosperm (3N)
Plant Embryo
Seed Coat
Term
What do gymnosperms rely on for pollination?
Definition
Wind
Term

Definition
Seeds

Definition
8

What are the two middle cells called in the ovule?
Definition
Polar Nuclei
Term
What are the two cells on the bottom of the ovule that were not fertilized called?
Definition
Synergi

Definition
Seed Coat
Term
What do the two polar nuclei cells become after they are fertilized?
Definition
3N Endosperm
Term
What does the ovary of a flower become after fertilization?
Definition
Fruit
