Adaptation of a plant: Plants undergo changes that help them survive in all kinds of environments, such as to the ability to conserve water (Cacti) or grow tall (trees). Abscisic Acid: One of five major plant hormones that is categorized as a shock ormone. The hormone goes into effect once the plant undergoes massive amounts of stress. It is used mostly during the winter seasons. Actin: Polymers in cell cytoplasm that help shape change, cell movement and muscle contraction Angiosperm: These plants are the biggest group in the plant kingdom, flowering plants. They have roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds. The seeds are formed when an egg is fertilized by pollen, in the ovary.
Anther & filament of stamen: In plants, the stamen it is a pollen producing reproductive organ of a flower. The stamen consists of stalks of filament. Anthers are most commonly two-lobed and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle portion. The anther is the part that contains pollen. Autotroph:Any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy. Plants use photosynthesis as a source of energy, that’s how it relates to plants.
Auxin producing area of a plant: Auxin help the plants do many things for plants. It develops the embryo, helps with leaf formation and fruit development, photot
ropism. Bryophyte:A small flowerless green plant of the division Bryophyta, which comprises the mosses and liverworts. They are a type of plant, usually mosses.
Cellulose: An insoluble substance that is the main structure of plant cell walls and of vegetable fibers such as cotton. It is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of glucose monomers. It is important to plants because it gives the plant rigidity. Chlorophyta: Large division of chiefly freshwater eukaryotic algae that possess chlorophyll a and b, store food as starch, and has cellulose cell walls. It is a classification name. Conifer Leaf: It is a type of leaf for plants. It looks like needles of a pine tree, and are cone-bearing seed plants. Usually trees and some shrubs contain conifer leaves, not flowers.
Cuticle layer of a plant: It is a non-cellular protective layer covering the outer cell layer of plants. It is important to plants because it protects them from UV rays, desiccation, and chemical agents that would harm the plant. As seen in the picture below, the cuticle layer would be the visible, green outer layer.
Deciduous leaf: These are the leaves on trees that fall off during the Fall, and change colors. The leaves fall off due to the fact that they are no longer needed. The word “Deciduous” actually means falling off at maturity. It is important to plants, such as trees, because it reduces water loss seasonally. This is important during winter, because little rain comes to keep plants watered.
Dicot plant with flower & leaf: These types of flowers are usually carnations. There seeds typically have to different embryonic leaves. This means that a flower contains another flower within in. An example of one is the Magnolia flower. It provides the flowers with stunning looks.
Endosperm: It is the part of the plant (usually the seed) that acts as a food store for the developing plant embryo, usually containing starch with protein and other nutrients. It is important to plants because the plant can store food inside of it, and not have to continue to collect food, especially during winter. Ethylene:A flammable hydrocarbon gas of the alkenes series, occurring in natural gas, coal gas, and crude oil and given off by ripening fruit. This is important to the plant because it helps in producing polyethylene, which is used in plastic bags. Ovary: It is the female reproductive organ, not only in females (humans), but also in the plants. Without this part of the plant, it could not reproduce and the population of that type of plant would die out, so it is very important. Frond: A frond is a type of leaf, which has many divisions to it. It has other parts, coming off of a common stem. It is important, because more seeds can be held within the leaves, allowing more plants to be grown.
Fruit-Dry with seed:These fruits are dry when you cut, or open them up. The insides are NOT wet, or fleshy. They are dry, like nuts. The seeds are usually visible.
Fruit-Fleshy with seed: These fruits are fleshy and wet when you open them up, such as tomatoes. The seeds are in the fleshy insides.
