Non Vascular
Vascular |
|
What is the difference between vascular and non vascular?

What are the 2 transport systems and what does each do?
|
Xylem = Involved in transporting water
Phloem = Involved in transporting food |
|
What characteristics do ALL plants have?
|
* Multicellular
* Photosynthetic * Waxy Cuticle * Surface tissue opening (stomata) for gas exchange (CO2) |
|

|
Angiosperms = seed or flowering plants
Gymnosperms = seed or non flowering plant |
|
Root and shoot system:
What does the root system and shoot system rely on? |

|
* Monocots =Have parallel veins
* Dicots = Have branching veins |
|
Describe the differences between Monocots and Dicots
|
* Monocots = 1 cotyledon (embryonic leaf),thin leaves, x3 flowers, scattered vascular bundle,fibrous roots
* Dicots = 2 cotyledon, broad leaves, x5 flowers, ring vascular bundle, tap roots |
|
Each plant organ has what 3 tissues?
|
1.) Dermal tissue
2.) Vascular tissue 3.) Ground tissue |
|
In non woody plants what does the dermal tisses system consist of?
|
Epidermis
|
|
