Plants are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that carry out __________to produce their own food.

photosynthesis

A type of plant that lives on land that lacks vascular tissue and seed formation is called a

Bryophyte

The class of plants that produce flowers are called _________.

angiosperms

Gymnosperms reproduce using these “naked seed” structures.

cones

One major adaptation land plants is vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) One major adaptation land plants is vascular tissue (xylem and phloem). This allowed plants to transport water and nutrients throughout their tissues allowing them to grow tall and resist the suns drying rays. In what plants was vascular tissue first seen?

Ferns

These projections on a root increase the surface area and help the root to bring in water and minerals.

Root hairs

____________tissue transports food throughout a plant and _____________tissue transports water throughout a plant.

Phloem, xylem

Label the following parts of the diagram below

A= stomata B= guard cells

What is the function of the cuticle?

To prevent water loss.

What is the name of the tissue in a leaf that is highly specialized for photosynthesis?

Mesophyll

Flowers with parallel veins, fiberous roots and flower parts in multiples of three are most likely _________.

monocots

Label the following parts of the plant below C D

A) Sepals B) pistil (or carpel) C) Stamen (anther) D) Petals

What is the main function of petals?

Attract pollinators

Explain how a fruit is produced?

List three fruits that are not edible but help plants spread their seed.

Exploding fruit, flying fruit, parachute fruit, etc

What are the three main tissue types in seed plants?

Dermal tissue, vascular tissue, ground tissue

What is the function of dermal tissue?

The protective outer covering of the plant (analogous to human skin)

What is the function of vascular tissue?

To help transport water and nutrients throughout the plant

What is the function of ground tissue?

Produces (photosynthesis) and stores sugars Physically supports plant

What are meristems?

Meristems are regions of growth and cell division in a plant Meristems are regions of growth and cell division in a plant. They are found in places where the plant grows rapidly (eg the tips of stems and roots).
