Definitions:
1.Angiosperm- A flowering, fruit bearing plant or tree. Significance: The fruit is used as seeds to reproduce and for nutrients for other organisms.
2.Bryophyte- A moss, liverwort, or hornwort; a nonvascular plant that inhabits the land but lacks many of the terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants. Significance: A type of plant that is able to survive even though it lacks many of the adaptations most plants have.
3. Cuticle Layer Of A Plant- A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that act as an adaptation to prevent desiccation in terestrial plants. Significance: This part of the plant that protects the plant from dying off due to weather.
4. Endosperm- A nurtient rich tissue formed by the union of a sperm cell with two polar nuclei during double fertilization, which provides nourshment to the deveolping embryo in angiosperm seeds. Significance: Reproduction of plants.
5.Genetically Modified Organism- An organism that is genetically produced in a lab, by combining the genes of several different organisms to improve the efficiency of that organism. Significance: GMOs can help people who are in poverty areas to help them receive the proper nutrients they need to live healthy.
6.Lignin- A complex chemical compound, it fills the spaces between the cell wall and the celluose; helps to keep the water inside the plant since the lignin is hydrophobic. Signifcance: The lignin is what allows the plant to conduct water efficiently.
7.Long Day Plant- A plant that only flowers only after being exposed to light longer than the certain critical length, examples of this are spinach and lettuce. Signifcance: Plants that require longer time in light to germinate/grow will have a slower growing rate than other plants
8. Short Day Plant- A plant that only flowers after being exposed to light longer than the certain critical length, examples are chrysanthemums and strawberries. Siginficance: Plants that require shorter time in light to germinate/ grow will have a faster growing rate than other plants.
9.Sporophyte- Spore producing plant generation; the dominant generation in pteridophytes and higher plants. Significance: It is the main generation of plants
10. Vascular Plant Tissue- Plant tissue that transports nutrients and water through the plant. Significance: This allows plants to receive the necessary nutrients it needs to survive.
