Front

What group does a cycad belong to?

Back

Cycads belong to the group Gymnosperms, which are seed-producing plants that do not form flowers.

Front

What group does moss belong to?

Back

Mosses belong to the group Seedless Non-vascular plants, which do not have vascular tissues and reproduce via spores.

Front

Which vascular tissue is responsible for water and mineral transport?

Back

Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is the primary function of Phloem?

Back

Phloem is responsible for the transport of nutrients and sugars produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.

Front

Define Angiosperms.

Back

Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.

Front

What is the difference between Gymnosperms and Angiosperms?

Back

Gymnosperms produce seeds that are not enclosed in an ovary (fruit), while Angiosperms produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.

Front

What are Seedless Vascular plants?

Back

Seedless Vascular plants are plants that have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) but do not produce seeds; they reproduce via spores.

Front

Give an example of a Seedless Non-vascular plant.

Back

An example of a Seedless Non-vascular plant is moss.

Front

What is the role of roots in plants?

Back

Roots anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and nutrients from the ground.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
