(ABEKA 10th Grade) Biology Chapters 1 & 2

lives for two years

what family has funnel-shaped flowers that are open for only one day and dies then is replaced by other flowers

the 3 types of venation is the following:

organisms, such as green plants, that produce their own food are called heterotrophs

a long, chain-like molecule consisting of thousands of glucose molecules linked together

live several years and is made of mostly wood

vacuums store food materials, fluid substances, and minerals

has one primary root that grows straight down and ramains larger than the secondary roots that branch off from it

the composite family has two types of flowers. What are they?

living material that constructed in such a way as to perform a particular task for the organs of an organism is called

produces yellowish colors

has many molecules and organelles ("little organs") that make up the cell and of the fluid medium that surrounds them

one of the largest families of flowering plants is the pea family

a high rate of transpiration may produce wilting

the cell wall is found around the outside of the cell

the middle portion of the leaf is called chloraplasts

organisms that cannot make their own food are called autotrophs

plants with thorny stems and showy flowers

another name for grass is graminoids

perennial means plants live for many years

the lower epidermis of leaves contains tiny openings called stomata

the study of living things

expand and contract to open and close each stoma is

the movement from the air, into the soil, and back into the air is called

produces bright red, blue, and purple colors

used to store food until the seed begins to grow

process by which a plant loses water vapor through its leaves and stems

a dicot has 2 cotyledons, broad, flat leaves with branching veins, petals in multples of 4 or 5, and taproot systems

pattern of veins within a leaf is called venation

the basic structural unit of all living things is the

a spherical body often located at the center of the cell, controls the cell's activities is the nucleus

has 1 cotyledon, parrellel veins, petals in multiples of three, and frous root systems

the primary root ramains small and many slender secondary roots grow from it in all directions

attaches the blade to the stem and contains vascular tissue that condu substances between the blade and stem

the largest of all plants

are you having fun?

lives for a year

a comple carohydrate made up of long chains of glucose(a simple sugar) molecules called cellulose

the green pigment that gives plants their color and enables them to capture th energy of light

produces yellowish-orange colors

provides covering and protection for both the upper and the lower leaf surfaces

flat portion of a leave is the stipule

enables the plant to "BURN" sugars as fuel for energy

group of structures designed to function together as a unit to perform a particular job for an organism

another name for flowering seed plants is angiosperms

tiny chemical "factories" that use light to manufacture food

the oils in oregeno, basil, sage, lavender, etc. is made in the parsley family

table sugar; for transport to the rest of the plant is

appear as long, tassle-like clusters of tiny grayish or yellowish-green flowers is called cacti

process where a plant's chloroplasts capture the radient energy of light and converts into food is called photosynthesis

what surrounds the cell, separates it from its environment, and regulates what enters and leaves the cell

living things

What are the three major fields of biology?

the water within the guard cells produces a pressure called turning pressure

weakens the cell walls of the abscission layer, allowing the leaf to break off under its own weight is cellulase

cuts the leaf from the stem in the fall is the abscission layer

many of our vegetables come from leaves or from the root of plants in the mustard family
