Term
Sporophyte
Definition
diploid spore producing plant: haploid cells by meiosis that can grow into gametophytes
Term
Gametophyte
Definition
haplois gamete producing plant: produce reproductive cells by mitosis that fusse with another gamete to produce sporophytes
Term
Alternation of Generations
Definition
a hapliod stage following a diploid stage in plants life cycle
Term
fertilzation
Definition
for seedless plants usually occurs uring or soon after rain when the spores are covered with water.
Term
what do gymnosperms and angiosperms not do
Definition

release spores in rain like other plants

 

Term
what is pollen grain?
Definition
the male gamete
Term
what is the female gamete and does it remain with the plants
Definition
ovule and yes it remains with the plant
Term
pollination
Definition
transfer of pollen grains from the male structures to the female strutures
Term
seed coat
Definition
the hardened outer cell layers of an ovule that protects the embryo
Term
cotyledon
Definition
leaf like structures that are part of the embryo
Term
what do gymnosperms have and angiosperms have
Definition
gymnosperms have two or more cotyledons and angiosperms have two types which are monocot and dicot
Term
gymnosperm
Definition
type of plant where seeds develop within a cone
Term
angiosperms
Definition
type of plant where the seeds develop within flowers
Term
what is the benefit of cones
Definition
they offer protection and wind pollination occurs
Term
what is the benefit of flowers
Definition
attract pollinators more directed "reproduction"
Term
what are the four layers flowers have
Definition
sepals, petals, stamens, anther, and pistils
Term
sepal
Definition
the outermost layer= protection when a flower is a bud
Term
petals
Definition
used to attract the pollinators
Term
stamen
Definition
makes the pollen
Term
anther
Definition
pollen- producing sac on top pf stamen
Term
pistils
Definition
produce ovules
Term
ovary
Definition
the pistils swollen lower portion is the spot where the ovules develop
Term
style
Definition
the stock that rises from the ovary
Term
the reproductive structures in angiosperms from simplest to complex
Definition
sperm, pollen, anther, flower, and plant
Term
how to flowers attract pollinators
Definition
by their color, scent, bribes, and lies
Term
what is a fruit
Definition
ripened ovary
Term
what does the fruit do
Definition
protects the seeds, allows distribution of the seeds and is a source of food for other organisms
Term
true or false: asexual reproduction in plants invovle the vegetative parts of plants, such as the stem, roots, and leaves.
Definition
true
Term
what is th benefit of asexual reprodcution
Definition
speed
Term
what are the four types of leaves flowers have?
Definition
sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels
Term
male and female gametophytes are?
Definition
male is pollen grains and female are embryo sac
Term
when does pollination occur?
Definition
when pollen is transfered to the female parts of a flower by wind or animals
Term
when does fertilization occur?
Definition
when a pollen grain lands on a stigma
Term
tropism
Definition
a respnse in which a plant grows either towards or away from a stimulus
Term
phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism is?
Definition
photo is the respnse to the light, response to gravite , and response to touch.
Term
auxins
Definition
controlled hormones
Term
where does auxin accumulates
Definition
where light is less intense and causes elongation
Term
roots= BLANK gravitropism becasue they grow in the direction of gravity
Definition
positive
Term
stems= BLANK gravitropism because they grow in the opposite direction of gravity
Definition
negative
Term
phototropism
Definition
responsible for timing of seasonal activities as flowering and growth and responds to periods of light and darkness
Term
what s responsible for phototropism
Definition
phtytochrome
Term
some of the most spectacular plant movements are what?
Definition
nastic movement
Term
Are all plants photosynthetic, multicellular, eukaryotic and can produce sexually, and all plants have cellulose in their cell walls.
Definition
True
Term
what 3 things did plants need to do
Definition
absorb nutrients from their surroundings, proect themselves from drying out- cuticle, and achieve fertilization without water
Term
rhiziods
Definition
hair like projections that anchor the plant to growing surfaces
Term
2 vascular plant tissue and what do they do
Definition
xylem which transports water and phloem which transpotrs food
Term
what are the most complex organisms of the plant kingdom
Definition
vascular plants
Term
do gymnosperms have "naked seeds"
Definition
yes
Term
example of gymnosperms:
Definition
cones/pollen, conifers, cycads, ginko, and gnetophytes
Term
what does the seed coat do?
Definition
protect the seed from drying out
Term
what do flowers promote?
Definition
pollination and fertilization
Term
flower
Definition
reproductive structures that produce pollen and seeds
Term
fruits
Definition
structure in which seeds of angiosperms develop and are used for seed disperal
Term
endosperm
Definition
supply of food inside of seeds
Term
what two sub categories can angiosperm be divided in?
Definition
monocots which usually produce seeds with 2 seed leaves and they are usually with parallel veins and dicots which usualy produce seeds with 1 leaf which are usually branching or netted veins
Term
tissue involved in what?
Definition
transport of nutrients
Term
vasular, dermal , and ground?
Definition
vascular- xylem and phloem, dermal- cuticle was, stomata, and gaurd cells, and ground- carbohydrate storage
Term
what do roots, leaves, and stems do?
Definition
roots- take in water and nutrients, leaves- photosynthesis, and stems- conduct water and nutrients
Term
what are the systems?
Definition
reprouctive, transports, and photosynthetic
Term
stems have 3 important functions?
Definition
produce leaves, branches, and flowers, holds leaves up for sunlight, and stems contain vascular bundles that contain ach xylem and phloem.
Term
what are the 3 major tyes of plant cells?
Definition
parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma
Term
parenchyma is most abuundant in?
Definition
most abundant in roots, they have thin celled walls too!!
