Ch 14 science test review
Why did God create plants - answers-God created plans to feed every living thing on the earth and to be
admired for their beauty. Plants sustain life
What five characteristics distinguish plants from other living things - answers-Plants have cellulose,
undergo photosynthesis, covered by cuticle, reproduce sexually by alternation of generations, and form a
multicellular embryo
Do your liverworts produce seeds - answers-No because they are nonvascular plants.
Nonvascular plants - answers-They don't protect their embryos inside seeds; they produce spores and
gametes but no seeds
What are two differences between a seed and a spore - answers-Seeds are diploids, multicellular
structures that nurture a plant developing embryo. Spores are unicellular and haploid
Gymnosperms characteristic - answers-Seeds produced without flowers or fruit
Nonvascular characteristic - answers-Always small; gametophyte is the dominant structure
Angiosperm characteristic - answers-largest group of plants
Seedless vascular characteristic - answers-Spores produced in sori
Does the Palisade mesophyll or the spongy mesophyll have a greater role to play in transpiration -
answers-The spongy mesophyll because water moves up the xylem into the spongy mesophyll.
