126290306 | Apical meristmes | Localized regions of cell division at the tips of shoots and roots | |
126290307 | Alternation of Generations | LIfe cycles of all land plants alternate between two different multicellular bodies with each form producing the other. | |
126290308 | Gametophyte | Haploid | |
126290309 | Sporophyte | Diploid | |
126290310 | spores | reproductive cells that can develop into a new organism without fusing with another cell | |
126290311 | sporangia | a multicellular organ that produce plant spores. | |
126290312 | sporocytes | diploid cells also know as spore mother cells, create haploid spores | |
126290313 | gametangia | multicellular organs that produce gametes | |
126290314 | Archegonia | Female gametangia | |
126290315 | Antheridia | male gametangia | |
126290316 | Placental transfer cells | enhance the transfer of nutrients from parent to embryo through elaborate ingrowths of the wall surface | |
126290317 | embryophytes | multicellular dependent embryo of land plants | |
126290318 | Gymnosperms | naked seed plants because their seeds are not enclosed in chambers | |
126290319 | Angiosperms | a flowering plant that forms seeds inside a protective chamber called an ovary | |
126290320 | Protonema | Germinating moss spores produce a mass of green branched one cell thick filaments | |
126290321 | Gametophore | a gamete producing structure formed from moss | |
126290322 | Rhizoids | anchors gametophytes | |
126290323 | Seta | Stalk, conducts materials to the sporangium also called a capsule | |
126290325 | Peristome | upper part of the capsule freature a ring of toothlike structures. Specialized for gradual spore, discharge. | |
126290326 | Stomata | specialized pores which are found in all vascular plants | |
126290327 | Sporophyll | modified leaves that bear sporangia | |
126290328 | sori | clusters of sporangia | |
126290329 | strobili | groups of sporophylls form cones | |
126290330 | homosporous | having one type of sporophyll producing one type of spore | |
126290331 | heterosporous | two types of sporophyllis and produces two kinds of spores | |
126290332 | megaspores | develops into female gametophytes | |
126290333 | microspores | develops into male gametophytes | |
126290334 | Xylem | vascular tissue that conducts water and minerals | |
