What is the name of the male
part of the flower?

Stamen
Why does a flower wilt after it
has been pollinated?

It wilts because it is not longer needed

for the process of reproduction
 Which layer of the leaf is the
main site of the
photosynthesis?
The palisade layer
 What is the function of the
guard cells?

To regulate the size of stomata

What are the raw materials of
photosynthesis?

Carbon dixoide

increases the surface area for
water absorption?

responsible for protecting the
developing bud?

Sepals
 What structure allows
angiosperms to reproduce on
dry land?
Pollen grains do not require water for
reproduction
When does pollination occur?

It occurs when the pollen grain lands on

the stigma

pistil?

Stigma
Style
Ovary
Ovules
 What are the four classes of
gymnosperms?

Cycads
Ginkgoes

 What is pollination?

Is the transfer of pollen from anther to

stigma
 What two parts make up the
stamen?

do you see most of the time?

Gametophyte
 What is another name for
angiosperms?

Flowering plants
 Which part of the flower
becomes the fruit after
pollination?

Ovary
Which part of the leaf controls
the exchange of gases?

Stomates
Guard cells
 What is the function of the
spongy layer?

Its function is to store excess gases

Secondary site of photosynthesis
 What is the function of the
cortex?

Store excess food and water

responsible for producing
spores?
Capsule
 Which part of the moss
absorbs water?

Rhizoids
 What is the function of the
cuticle?

To prevent water loss

 What is the function of the
upper and lower epidermis?

The upper and lower epidermis protect

the internal structures of the leaf
 Which structure in the flower
develops into the seeds?

Ovules
 Name the characteristics
found in all plants

Multicellular
Autotrophic
Eukaryotic
Chloroplasts
Cell walls
 What is the function of the
phloem?

To carry food down the plant from the

leaves
 What is the function of the
xylem?

To carry the water and minerals up the

plant from the roots
 What is the name of the
female part of the flower?

Pistil
What is the scientific name of
the leaf-like structure of a
moss?
Gametophyte
 What is the function of the
gametophyte?

To produce sperm and egg cells

 The stalk and the capsule of
the moss are called the

Sporophyte
How do ferns differ from other
vascular plants?

They are the only vascular plants that

do not produce seeds, they produce
spores
