biology

female reproductive system: -ovary system: contains a developing egg -stigma: upper part of pistil; where pollen grains land -style: connects stigma to ovary

-contains a developing egg -upper part of pistil; where pollen grains land -connects stigma to ovary

carpels

-female reproductive structures -______are fused together to form a pistil

leaves

-they make food (glucose) for the plant during photosynthesis -prefect water loss; a waxy outer layer called cuticle prevents the _________ from losing too much water

structure of leaf - guard cells

2, one on each side the stomata opens and closes the stomata

root hairs

These absorb water and minerals from soil, what are they? virtually all absorption of water takes place through _______

receptacle

bottom of the flower; all flower parts attach to it

petals

brightly colored structures inside the sepals

palisade cells

column like cells that lie just under the epidermis

petiote

connects the blade to the stem

it relies on wind and water

how is the plant pollinated of the petals of a flower are reduced or absent?

male reproduction system: stemas anther: produce pollen filament: stalk

male reproduction system: anther:_____ filament:_____

sexual reproduction

occurs when pollen from another is transferred to the stigma

structure of leaf: stoma

openings in the leaf; water vapor and oxygen pass out of the leaf and carbon dioxide enter the leaf

sepals

small leaf-like structures above the receptacle

cuticle

the wax covering of the leaf is:

angiosperm

types of plants that bear fruits and flowers

cell wall

what are the outermost layer of cells?

transports water and nutrients to various part of the plant

what is the function of a shoot?

taproot

what is the name of the large main roots? Lateral roots grow off the ________ (discots)

bundle sheath cells

what is the outer layer of the vein?

stems

what supports leaves flowers and root, transports water and minerals upward to leaves, transports food down ward to roots, and come of these are modified for feed, storage; cactus; white potato; underground

palisade and spongy layer

what two layers of the plant contain chloroplast?

structure of leaves - veins

xylem and phloem which connects food and water
