| Question | Answer |
| Plant | photosynthetic eukaryote with cellulose based cell walls |
| Embryo | pre-birth stage of development |
| Sporic Reproduction | alternate between a gamete making and sporic making |
| Gametophytes | Haploid plant in sporic reproduction gametes |
| Sporophytes | diploid plant produces spores by meiosis |
| Byrophytes | non vascular land plant |
| Gymnosperm | Vascular plant with non enclose seeds |
| Angiosperms | vascular plant with seeds enclosed in protective tissue |
| Cone | gymnosperm structure with both reproductive system |
| Flowers | structures in angiosperms used for sexual reproduction |
| Fruit | mature ovary |
| Monocot | 1 cotyledon |
| Dicot | 2 cotyledon |
| Photosynthesis | converts energy from sunlight into chemical energy |
| Cellulose | large carb molecule |
| Shoot System | Made up of stems and leaves |
| Root System | made up of roots of the plants |
| Parenchyma cells | flexible, thin walled cells, produce glucose by photosynthesis |
| Collenchyma Cells | elongated occur in large strands or cylinder |
| Sclerenchyma Cells | Thick secondary cells walls with lignin |
| Meristematic Tissues | Embryonic plant tissue that makes up other plant tissues |
| Dermal Tissues | Outer layers of plants |
| Epidermis | dermal tissue that makes up plants outer covering |
| Guard Cells | paired cells that surround stoma |
| Stoma | small opening for gas exchange |
| Root hair | structure on the epidermis that increases surface area |
| Ground tissue | many function and makes up most of the inside of a plant |
| Vascular Tissue | internal systems of tube that run lengthwise throughout the stem of a plant |
| Xylem | transports water and mineral from roots to leave |
| Phloem | transports nutrients such as sugars to areas for growth and metabolism or to roots for storage |
| Root Cap | protective covering on tip of root |
| Cortex | Layer of cells between epidermis and the vascular tissues of the roots |
| Endodermis | layer of cells between cortex and vascular tissues of the root |
| Tap root | Thick root |
| Fibrous root | small branching root |
| Arenchyma | spongy tissue that has larger air space through which oxygen can move |
| Cuticle | waxy layer on the epidermis |
| Mesophyll | layer between the upper and lower epidermis |
| Palisade Mesophyll | tightly packed parenchyma cells |
| Spongy Cells | parenchyma cells are loosely packed |
| Venation | pattern of veins |
| Transpiration | water evaporates from the leaf to the outside of the stomata |
| Root Pressure | pushes water an minerals upward in plant |
| Cohesion Tension Model | model of how water is moved from the roots to the leaves |
| Natural Vegetation | growth from roots, stems and leaves |
| Artificial Propagation | dividing, grafting,cutting,layering,tissue culturing |
