Cards

Term
Draw a cladogram that shows evolution of plants
Definition
[image]
Term

Compare and contrast vascular and non vascular plants.

Why are mosses small?

Definition
Vascular has a transport system. Mosses are small because they have no transport system
Term
Compare and contrast angiosperms and gymnosperms (include benefits of each reproduction technique)
Definition

Angiosperms are flowering plants.

Gymnosperms are cone producing plants

Term
What do roots do?
Definition
anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients, store food
Term
what do stems do?
Definition
hold the plant upright, act as a transport tube
Term
what do leaves do?
Definition
it is where photosynthesis takes place
Term
Compare and contrast fibrous roots, and taproots (include how each allows the plant to be better adapted to its environment)
Definition

fibrous root- prevent erosion and absorb water quickly.

taproot- absorb water deep underground

Term
how are fruits used for reproduction?
Definition
fruits are eaten by animals and seeds are spread for reproduction
Term
Function of vascular tissue
Definition
transport nutrients and water
Term
how are vascular tissues and fruit related
Definition
vascular tissue allows the plant to produce ripe fruits
Term
label the 2 vascular tissue in the image and indicate direction of movement
Definition
Term
Explain what would happen to the plant if something damaged the phloem tissue
Definition
the plant would not be able to transport water and food
Term
describe the function of stomata and guard cells
Definition
Stomata-gas exchange occurs.
guard cells-open and close stomata
Term
draw a plant and trace flow of water, gases and nutrients through it
Definition
soil --> root hairs --> roots--> xylem -->leaves
Term
what is transpiration
Definition
water vapor rising from the leaves of plants
Term
what is capillary action
Definition
upward movement of water
Term
explain how transpirational pull and capillary action are responsible for transport of materials in a plant
Definition
both are responsible for the movement of water
Term
which organ is light energy converted to chemical energy in a plant?

which organelle in the cells?
Definition
Leaves

Chlororplasts
Term
where does cellular respiration take place in a plant cell?
Definition
mitochondria
Term
what 3 factors affect rate of photosynthesis
Definition
carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
Term
where do excess products from photosynthesis go?
Definition
the plant stores sugar and oxygen
Term
if there is less CO2 available for the plant what will happen?
Definition
the plant will make less sugar
Term
a plant uses glucose for cellular respiration T/F?
Definition
True
Term
a plant uses glucose to convert carbohydrates and used in plant growth T/F?
Definition
F
Term
a plant uses glucose to convert oxygen and secrete as waste
Definition
T
Term
a plant uses glucose to transport salt to the roots
Definition
F
Term
what is common between phototropism, gravitotropism, and thigmotropism
Definition
all are a plants response to stimuli
Term
what would happen in a food web if one of the plants was treated with an herbicide? Be able to draw a food web
Definition
populations of consumers would decrease
Term
describe how plants are responsible for cycling matter in the carbon and nitrogen cycle?
Definition
Carbon cycle- plants take in CO2
Nitrogen cycle- plants need nitrogen to be converted in the soil
Term
what is active transport?which way do molecules move
Definition
needs energy

low to high
Term
what is passive transport? which way do molecules move
Definition
No energy needed

High to low
Term
what is osmosis and where in plant does it occur?
Definition
movement of water. it occurs throughout plant
Term
a plant is watered with 50% sugar solution. what would happen to a cell here? which direction will the water move?
Definition
cell will swell, water moves in
Term
a plant is placed in a salt solution that is lower than its own salt content? what would happen to a cell here? which direction will the water move?
Definition
cell will shrink, water moves out
Term
plant growth occurs in the A)_______ of the roots and shoots. The cellular process used is B)____
Definition
A)apical meristem

B)mitosi
