| Term | Definition |
|
all plants |
multicellular, eukaryote, autotrophs |
|
all plants go through |
photosynthesis |
|
the process through which all plants capture the suns energy and use it to produce food |
photosynthesis |
|
all plants have a cell wall that... |
supports and protects plant cells |
|
have a waxy layer |
cuticle: waxy layer on the surfaces exposed to air that keep the plant from drying out |
|
cell membrane |
beneath the cell wall, controls what goes in and out of the plant cell |
|
vacuole |
stores water, helps support the cell, has other important functions |
|
nucleus |
contains the plant cell DNA, controls the functions of plant cell |
|
chloroplasts |
contains chlorophyll that captures energy from the sun to make food during photosynthesis |
|
the 4 classification groups |
nonvascular, seedless vascular, gymnospores- nonflowering vascular seed plants, angiosperms- flowering vascular seed plants |
|
vascular |
has system of tubes- specialized tissues that movematerials from on epart of the plant to another, have true roots, stems, leaves |
|
nonvascular |
lacks system of tubes to move materials, true roots, stems, leaves |
|
nonvascular plants |
mosses liverworts hornworts |
|
vascular seedless plants |
ferns horsetails club mosses |
|
vascular seed nonflowering plants are called |
gymnosperms pine tree |
|
vasculaer seed flowering plants are called |
angiosperms pear tree |
|
sunlight is absorbed by the... |
chlorophyll in the chloroplasts |
|
carbon dioxide enters through... |
the small openings in the leaves |
|
water is absorbed from the soil by... |
the plants roots |
|
oxygen passes out of the plant and is... |
released in the atmosphere |
|
high energy_____ are produced and used to carry out the plants functions |
sugar molecules |
|
photosynthesis equation |
water + carbon dioxide with light energy = sugar and oxygen |
|
plants use the sugar as____ to live |
energy |
|
any excess sugar is stored in the_____, _____, _____, and _____ |
roots, stems, leaves, and fruits |
|
plant lifecycle |
sporophyte produces spores, spores develop into plants other stage where sperm and egg are produced, sperm join to form zygote which becomes a sporophyte |
