QuestionAnswer
Define woody and herbaceous Plants. Explain how they are different. Can you visually identify the differences between them if shown a picture? (Woody - any shrubs, trees, or certain vines which produce wood and have buds surviving above ground over winter. (Herbaceous - have stems that are soft and not woody such as herbs, certain vines, and turf grasses that die back to the ground each year.
Describe differences between annuals, biennials, and perennials . (annuals - plants that germinate, grow, flower, and produce seed in one growing season (biennial - plants that complete their life cycle in two growing seasons (perennial - plants that may be herbaceous or woody and live for more than two seasons
Define the difference between deciduous and evergreen plants. Can you visually identify the differences between them if shown a picture? (Deciduous - leafless during a portion of a year (Evergreen - keep their "leaves" all year round identification - evergreen leaves =thick and waxy, deciduous leaves=thinner and broader. Deciduous change colors, while evergreen stay green all year
Identify and describe the three phases of plant development. Vegetative -when a plant seed germinates and grows producing leaves, stems, and roots reproductive- when a plant flowers and produces fruit. dormancy -a phase of slow or inactive growth
Give an example of each phase of plant development. Vegetative: a sunflower seed germinates and grows Reproductive: the sunflower attracts pollinators and produces seed Dormancy: plant dies off during cold conditions and seeds remain in soil
Discuss the differences between simple and compound leaves. How can you distinguish. simple leaf: single leaf blade and a petiole compound leaf: made of petiole and two or more leaf blades called leaflets distinguish: simple leaf is just one, compound is more than one leaf on a stem.
explain the 3 venation patterns on leaves. Parallel - major veins are parallel to midrib (Nearly equal in size) Pinnate - midrib w/ smaller lateral veins branching from it Palmate - three or more major veins that extend from the base of the leaf blade. smaller veins branch from these main veins.
Describe these parts on a stem: Apical Meristem, Node, Internode, Bud Scale, Lenticel. a.m : primary growing point of the stem node: point along a stem where leaves or other stems are attached Internode: area between two nodes Bud Scale: tiny leaf like structures that cover the bud before it opens and begins to grow lenticel: tiny pores
What are the auxins? What do they do and where can they be found? What do they do to the lower lateral buds when we prune the terminal bud? They are hormones. they influence the growth of the lateral buds below. they are produced in the apical meristem.
what functions (at least 2) do stems provide a plant? -they support leaves, flowers, and fruit - they transport water, minerals, and food.
Describe the differences between taproot and fibrous root systems. taproot- primary root grows down from stem fibrous- plants that branch into a number of small primary and secondary roots
what are the three ways leaves can be arranged on a stem, and describe them. Alternate - leaves are alternating ( not opposite) opposite - leaves are directly opposite to eachother whorled - leaves are spiraling around the stem.
Dicot and Monocot: two groups of flowering plants that are classified by the number of seed leaves, or cotyledons, in their seeds. Monocots have one cotyledon, while dicots have two.
Chlorophyll: green pigment found in plants that help them make their own food.
transpiration: the process by which water is absorbed by the roots , transported through the plants vascular system, and released as water vapor into the atmosphere, primarily through tiny pores called stomata on the leaves. "plants sweating"
cross pollination pollination of a flower or plant with pollen from another flower or plant
Pollination the transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization
hybrid offspring of a cross between two different species or varieties
perfect flower has both male and female parts
imperfect flower has only one sex
hardiness ability to survive adverse growing conditions
hardy plant plant that can tolerate a variety of extreme temperatures
tender plant plants that cannot survive harsh conditions
botanist biologist specializing in study of plants
botanical nomenclature formal scientific naming of plants
cultivar plant variety that was produced in cultivation by selective breeding
primary root the root of a plant that develops first
secondary root a side branch of the main root, a root or a fine rootlet that derives from the primary root
root cap outer cover of the tip of the root that protects it
root hairs thin hair like structures in the tip of the root for absorption of water and minerals from soil
adventitious roots originate from the branches, stems and leaves
germination the development of a plant from a seed or spore after a period of dormancy
axillary bud bud that grows from the axil of a leaf and may develop into a branch or flower cluster
xylem transports water throughout a plants body
phloem transports and distributes organic nutrients
photosynthesis plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen
Indentify 4 names of specialized stems and an example of each. - bulbs; tulips/onions - corms; idk - rhizomes; ferns/asparagus - stem tubers; Irish potato
