Science: How do plants grow?
annual
A plant that completes it's life cycle within a year.
Starch
Chemicals in the seed first to be broken down for energy to be used in cell division
parenchyma
Differentiated cells which take on the function of food storage
angiosperms
Flowering plant are classified as...
DNA
Is required in addition to energy to produce plant germination and development
seed
Pre-packaged miniature plant with food and covering.
Bark
That part of a woody stem, or tree, that is outside the vascular cambium....Old Phloem cells become.
wood
That part of the tree that is interior to the vascular cambium
Germination
The beginning of the development of a plant from a seed.
enzymes
The chemicals first activated in the seed that help cause other chemicals to react are called...
elongation
The first step after production by a meristem
differentiation
The maturation of a cell produced by a plant meristem "specialization"
vascular cambium
The meristematic cells which produce new cells increasing plant body girth
phloem and xylem
The vascular cambium cells differentiate into...
meristem
The youthful, undifferentiated cells of root and shoot tips.
Sequoias and Bristlecone Pines
Two ancient perennial plants.
dicot
Two seed leaves, netted leaf structure
cotyledons and endosperm
Word for the embryo comes from this...
monocotyledon
a flowering plant with seeds having one seed leaf.
dicotyledon
a flowering plant with seeds having two seed leaves.
endosperm
a flowing storage issue
entropy
a running down
cotyledon
a seed leaf
meristematic
cells that multiply and produce growth at various parts of a plant
Dicot food
cotyledons
Branch or leaf
crosswise elongation of cells within the stem will produce...
Law Of Thermodynamics
describes the universe as increasing in disorganization, degeneration, and eventual death.
Monocot food
endosperm
Law of entropy
in order for a plant to grow it must overcome this...
monocot
one seed leaf, parallel leaf structure.
Developmental morphology
the study of growth characteristics of a plant.
phloem
tissues that make up bark
xylem
tissues that make up interior wood
