Vascular Plants
|
Plants that have tissues organized to conduct food and water throughout their structure. They can produce seed, or not.
|
|
Nonvascular Plants
|
Plants that lack special tissue for conducting food and water. They produce no seeds or flowers. Generally very small plants (mosses)
|
|
Angiosperms
|
Plants that produce flowers as reproductive organs
|
|
Gymnosperms
|
Plant that produce seeds without flowers (Mostly trees)
|
|
Annuals
|
Plants that survive only through a single growing seasons
|
|
Perennial
|
Plants that continue to grow year after year
|
|
Sepals
|
In angiosperms, this encloses the petals before blooming
|
|
Pedicel
|
In angiosperms, the short branch of stem that supports the flower
|
|
Pistil
|
In angiosperms, the female reproductive structure (includes the stigma, style, ovary, and ovules)
|
|
Stigma
|
In angiosperms, the sticky surface at the top of the pistol which traps pollen grains
|
|
Style
|
In angiosperms, a slender vase-like structure below the stigma which encloses the ovary
|
|
Ovary
|
In angiosperms, a hollow bulb-shaped structure in the lower interior of the pistol. After seeds have formed, this becomes fruit
|
|
Ovules
|
In angiosperms, small round cases in the ovaries that contain one or more egg cells
|
|
Stamen
|
In angiosperms, the male reproductive structure (includes the anther and filament
|
|
Anther
|
In angiosperms, the male reproductive organ that includes four lobes and contains cells that become pollen.
|
|
Simple Fruit
|
This fruit develops from a single ripened ovary (Apple, Corn, Olive)
|
|
Compound Fruit
|
This fruit develops from many separate ovaries
|
|
Aggregate Fruit
|
Fruit where ovaries from a single flower fuse together (Raspberry)
|
|
Multiple Fruit
|
Fruit that forms from the fusing of several ovaries of separate flowers during ripening (Strawberry, Pineapple)
|
|
Cotyledon
|
Stored food in a seed
|
|
Dicotyledon
|
Plants with two cotyledons in the seed (Oaks, Flowers, Vegetables)
|
|
Monocotyledon
|
Plants with only one cotyledon in the seed (Grasses, Lilies, Palms)
|
|
Xylem
|
Vascular tissue that transports water up from the ground to the branches and leaves
|
|
Phloem
|
Vascular tissue that transports food made in the leaves to the rest of the plant
|
|
Tropism
|
An involuntary response of an organism to an external stimulus such as light, water, gravity, or nutrients.
