Plant Systems

Overview & Notes

Notes: Write or draw in your notebook!

Vascular plants have a transport system
for water and nutrients just like animals

do with the cardiovascular system!

Non-vascular plants absorb water by

osmosis and cannot transport it.

“Xy to the sky &
Phlo to the floor!”

Multiple Choice

Xylem is 

• another name for roots
• is a vascular tissue that carries water and minerals from the root up to the plants.
• carries food from the leaves to the root.

Multiple Choice

phloem is 

• a vascular tissue that carries water and nutrients from the roots up to the stem and leaves.
• a vascular tissue that carries food from leaves to the the roots.
• another name for leaf.

Multiple Choice

A ______ plant does not have any tubes.

• angiosperm
• gymnosperm
• vascular
• nonvascular

Multiple Choice

DO have true roots, stems and leaves

• vascular

• nonvascular

How do plants make more plants??

Flowering plants,
called
angiosperms,
reproduce
through a process
you’ve probably
heard of:
Pollination!

Multiple Choice

The "female" reproductive structure of flowers is called...

• Filament

• Anther

• Pistil

• Stamen

Multiple Choice

This structure is sticky and helps catch pollen grains!

• Stigma

• Style

• Stamen

• Ovary

Multiple Choice

Protects the reproductive structures of the flower and also attracts pollinators.

• Peduncle

• Receptacle

• Sepals

• Petals

Multiple Choice

Located at the top of the filament and creates pollen grains.

• Pistil

• Stamen

• Anther

• Filament

Multiple Choice

The "male" reproductive structure on flowers is called...

• Style

• Ovule

• Pistil

• Stamen

Multiple Choice

The structure that carries pollen from the stigma to the ovary and contains the pollen tube.

• Stigma

• Stamen

• Pistil

• Style

Multiple Choice

The small structures (male gamete) that pollinate the ovules in the ovary when they stick to the stigma and travel down the style.

• Filament

• Anther

• Pollen Grains

• Stamen

• the root are reacting positively by growing downward while the stem and leaves are reacting negatively by growing upward

• only the roots are reacting by growing downward

• only the leaves and stem are reacting by growing upward
