2. Cut along the dashed lines.
3. Fold along the solid lines.
Sample flash cards in this set:
| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Plants that have tubes in their roots, stems, and leaves | Vascular |
| Plants that do not have tubes, and pass water and nutrients from cell to cell | Nonvascular |
| Tubes in plants that carry food (sugar) that is made in the leaves to other parts of the plant | Phloem |
| Tubes in plants that carry water and minerals upward from the roots to the leaves | Xylem |
| A molecule that absorbs red and blue light and reflects green light. (The green stuff in plants) | chlorophyll |
| The process by which green plants make sugar from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light. | Photosynthesis |
| A waste gas produced during cellular respiration in animals. Plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. | Carbon dioxide |
| A waste gas produced by plants during photosynthesis which is used by all the plants and animals during cellular respiration. | Oxygen |
| A nutrient that xylem transports to the leave in a vascular plant | Mineral |
| A process by which scientists identify and organize organisms such as plants | Classification |
| A leaf vein pattern in which there are several veins that start at one point near the base (the veins look like the fingers on a hand) | Palmate |
| A leaf vein pattern that looks like a feather. There is one main vein that has smaller veins branching off sideways from it. | Pinnate |
| A leaf vein pattern in which the veins are straight lines all running in the same direction. | Parallel |
| Has many small root hairs.A root that takes in large amounts of water, quickly. Roots found on many grasses and weeds. | Fibrous Roots |
| One thick long root.A root that anchors big tall vascular plants (trees). A root that can get deep ground water. | Tap Root |
| A root found where ground is typically really hard or where ground is really soft and loose. | Proproot |
| This root stores extra food (sugar) that it can use during short changes in weather. | Storage Root |
| Supports the leaves, and holds them high for photosynthesis. Houses the xylem and phloem (vascular bundles) | Stem |
| Considered the plant's food factory. | Leaves |
| The hole(s) at the bottom of the leaf. The part on a plant that allows gases to enter and exit the leaf. | Stomata |
| The part of the flower that is made up of the anther and filament. | Stamen |
| The part of the stamen that makes and holds the pollen. | Anther |
| The part of the stamen that holds the anther up so it can touch the animals + other pollinators entering the plant. | Filament |
| Part of the flower used for reproduction made of the stigma, style, and ovary. | Pistil |
| Small opening in the top of the pistil. It is sticky to help the flower collect pollen. | Stigma |
| Long tube of the pistil connecting the stigma to the ovary. | Style |
| The part of the flower that holds the eggs in sections called ovules. | Ovary |
