Botany questions with verified answers
Adventitious Root System Ans✓✓✓- helps support plant (e.g. corn,
ivy)
Angiospermae Ans✓✓✓Division (or phylum) of plants that produce
flowers as part of their reproductive process; vary widely in size and
shape but all have a set of distinct features
Anther Ans✓✓✓produces pollen; pollen contains sperm
Blade Ans✓✓✓flat part of leaf; allows for photosynthesis and gas
exchange
Chloroplast Ans✓✓✓organelle where energy is absorbed from sunlight
(site of photosynthesis)
Cotyledon Ans✓✓✓structure that forms temporary leaves
Cuticle Ans✓✓✓waxy coating that prevents water loss and provides a
physical barrier against bacteria, moulds, and insects
Dicot Ans✓✓✓- vascular bundles in a ring pattern in the stem
- produce two seed leaves
- flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
, - broad leaves with branching veins
- tap root system
- examples: maple tree, sunflower, cactus, carrots, geranium, roses
Dicot Leaves Ans✓✓✓- veins: large, randomly spaced through leaf
- leaves: broad with many parts
- stomata: openings found mostly along the bottom of leaves
Dicot Root Ans✓✓✓- small vascular cylinder in center; 'star'-shaped
pattern
- large openings are xylem tissue surrounded by smaller phloem cells
- very thick cortex
- tap root system
Dicot Stems Ans✓✓✓- vascular bundles in ring pattern in fundamental
(ground) tissue
- can be herbaceous or woody
- woody stem:
- new layers of xylem cells allow stem to grow in width
- more xylem formes in wet months (light band) than in dry months
(dark band); together they make up an annual ring (dead cells filled with
materials that harden)
