Front

What is meristematic tissue?

Back

Meristematic tissue consists of undifferentiated cells in plants that are capable of division and can develop into various types of plant tissues.

Front

What type of vascular bundle is found in monocots?

Back

Monocots typically have scattered vascular bundles throughout the stem.

Front

What is gravitropism?

Back

Gravitropism is a growth response in plants to gravity, where roots grow downward and stems grow upward.

Front

What are anthocyanins?

Back

Anthocyanins are a group of pigments that can give leaves and other plant parts colors other than green, often red, purple, or blue.

Front

What is the abscission layer in deciduous trees?

Back

The abscission layer is a layer of cells that forms at the base of a leaf stem, causing leaves to die and fall off in autumn.

Front

What is the function of xylem in plants?

Back

Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is the role of phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem transports sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is a stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out) during photosynthesis.
