Key botanical terms( these you are sure to see)
Plant cycles to know
Moss, Fern, Gymnosperm(Pine) and Angiosperm( monocot and dicot )
Advances that led to land plants
1. Water vascular system
2. Roots and stems
3. Loss of dependence on water for fertilization( development of pollen )
4. Differentiation of tissues
Plant cell types-parenchyma, sclerenchyma, collenchyma
Vascular tissues - xylem - tracheids and vessel elements and phloem- companion cells and sieve tubes
Plant tissues -apical meristem, cambium, mesophyll, epidermis, endonermis, pith, root hairs, stomates, guard cells, and wood
Transpiration and plants
Monocot vs. Dicot
Floral Sex- Pistil, stigma, style, ovary: stamen, anther,filaments, pollen
Ovary- antipodal cells, synergids, polar nuclei,
Seeds- epicotyl, hypocotyl,endosperm,seed coat
Plant hormones- auxins ( IAA ), cytokinins, giberellins, ethylene
Photoperiodiism - far red and near red. Phytocchromes. Short day plants and long day plants
Plant lady's corner-
