Plant Biology Lecture Notes

Flashcards on plant biology, covering plant structures, functions, and life cycles.

Xylem

Tubes that moves water through a plant (uses it for energy)

Photosynthesis

The process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy

Cellulose

This cell wall is made of .

Spores

Plants use for reproduction.

Flowers / Fruits

Plants use / for reproduction.

Transport System

The plant transports important substances.

Buds (apical meristems)

produce new stems/leaves.

Secondary growth

increases in thickness to support plant growth.

Plants

Green Algae, Mosses, Ferns, Cone-bearing and Flowering are all types of .

Green Algae

release oxygen through cellular respiration/photosynthesis

Bryophytes

Mosses are also known as .

Pteridophytes

Ferns are also known as .

Seedless Plants

grow by spores on gametophytes in water.

Flowering plants (angiosperms)

have seeds inside fruit and rely on pollinators, wind, and water for reproduction.

structure

Roots, stems and leaves are all part of the plants .

Leaves

are the main photosynthetic organs of plants.

Dermal Tissue

is the protective layer of plants.

Xylem

H2O/minerals move through the .

Phloem

stores products of photosynthesis.

Root Cap

protects the root and meristems.

Active Transport

brings minerals from the soil into the plant.

Apical Meristem

produces new cells for plant growth.
