Describe the process of mitosis & Meiosis and include the stages of Mitosis - ✔✔
mitosis- genetically identical; daughter cells.
meiosis- genetically different; gamates
Stages of mitosis & meiosis - ✔✔Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Interphase
Describe the function of photosynthesis, transpiration, & cellular respiration. - ✔✔
photosynthesis- makes food, sun, h20, co2, creates sugars & starches
transpiration- loss of water from plant
cell respiration- releasing energy
List & define 8 types of land classification - ✔✔
1-4 cultivate (1 is best, can farm on)
5-8 grazing (only for animals)
what is soil texture vs soil structure & list the soil particles in order of particle size- large to small -
✔✔soil texture- % of sand, silt, clay
soil structure - arrangement of particles
Separate the 17 essential plant nutrients into macro & micro, make sure t indicate which three are the
most important - ✔✔macro: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Calcium,
Sulfur, Magnesium.
Micro: Maganese, Molybdenum, Chlorine, Copper, Boron, Zink, Nickel, Iron
, what is the most important nutrient's main purpose for the plant? - ✔✔Nitrogen; helps to make the
plant green (chlorophyll)
Describe the following propagation methods of air layering, tissue culture, stem cuttings, leaf cuttings,
root cuttings, & seeds. - ✔✔Air layering is a method of propagating new trees and shrubs from stems still
attached to the parent plant. The stem is wrapped with damp moss to encourage roots to form.
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs
under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to
produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
Stem cuttings: It involves taking a section of stem from a parent plant and manipulating it to create a
new plant.
leaf cuttings: stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems
root cuttings: the portion of root is cut from a parent plant (often called a mother plant), placed in a
growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots and stems.
seeds: is the method of plant propagation (multiplying, reproducing, or breeding new plants) that is
done through the use of seeds.
What is germination vs propagation - ✔✔germination- seed sprouts
propagation- growing plants
Describe asexual plant propagation & sexual plant propagation. - ✔✔asexual: cuttings, layering, division,
buddings, & grafting
sexual:involves the union of the pollen (male) with the egg (female) to produce a seed
Breakdown the spermatophyta category of plants & describe each sub level. - ✔✔Gymnosperm- cones,
naked seeds
Angiosperm- Flower parts (monocotyledons- first leaf, parallel veins, non-woody flowers * 3)
(dicotyledons- netted veins, woody, flowers *4 or 5).
describe the vascular system of a monocotyledon & dicotyledon - ✔✔monocot- vascular bundles
dicot- organized
