Chapter 10 study guide

consists of tubelike structures inside a plant through which water, minerals, and food move

the fertilized egg

asexual reproduction in plants

a waxy waterproof layer that covers the leaves of most plants

Plants that lack a well-developed system of tubes for transporting water and other materials

plants with true vascular tissue

in this stage, the plant produces spores, tiny cells that can grow into new organism

in this stage, the plant produces sex cells or gametes

anchor the moss and absorb water and nutrients from the soil

a fern’s leaves

the vascular tissue through which food moves

he vascular tissue in which water and minerals travel

tiny structures that contain the cells that will later become sperm cells

a structure that contains a young plant inside a protective covering

a young plant that develops from the zygote, or a fertilized egg

seed leaves

occurs when the the embryo begins to grow again and pushes out of the seed

.protects the root from injury from rocks as the root grows through the soil

the layer of cells in bark that produces new phloem and xylem

the process by which water evaporates from leaves

a seed plant that produces naked seeds

gymnosperm reproductive structure

a structure that contains an ovum, or egg cell

the transfer of pollen from a male reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure
