Plants

Vascular plants are comprised of which TWO organ systems?

• Shoot Systems

• Root Systems

• Circulatory Systems

• Nervous Systems

A plant's shoot systems can be divided into which TWO parts?

• Non-reproductive (vegetative) parts, like leaves and stems

• Reproductive parts, like flowers and fruits

• Photosynthesis parts, like roots and leaves

• Pollination parts, like flowers and roots

What primary job do roots do?

• Transport minerals and water from the ground up the plant

• Perform photosynthesis to create sugars

• Attract pollinators using nectar

• provide support and structure to the plant

What primary job do leaves do?

• Transport minerals and water from the ground up the plant

• Perform photosynthesis to create sugars

• Attract pollinators using nectar

• provide support and structure to the plant

Which vascular structure transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant?

• xylem

• phloem

• veins

• arteries

Which vascular structure transports sugars created in photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant that need energy?

• xylem

• phloem

• veins

• arteries

A plant's stem performs what functions?

• Transport minerals and water from the ground up the plant

• Perform photosynthesis to create sugars

• Attract pollinators using nectar

• provide support and structure to the plant, as well as buds off to form new new leaves/stems

Which plant structure allows for gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out)?

• Stomata

• Guard Cells

• Meristem

• Root Cap

Guard cells are cells that surround and control the _______:

• Stomata

• Xylem

• Meristem

• Chloroplast

The sepal:

• encloses the bud before it opens and protects the flower while it is developing

• attract insects and other pollinators to the flower

• is the male part of the flower and consists of a stalk called a filament with an anther at its tip

• produces and shelters the female gametophytes and seeds
