Key terms from the textbook that you need to know are indicated in bold face.
Classification of Plants: (3.2)
-what are the major distinguishing features of the 4 main groups of plants (bryophytes, lycophytes &
pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms)?
-what are the main differences between monocots and eudicots? (e.g., number of cotyledons)

Plant Anatomy & Function: (12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5)
-what are the characteristics and functions of the 4 main types of plant tissue?
-dermal tissue, vascular tissue, ground tissue, meristematic tissue
-describe the structure & function of leaves
-what are the main functions of leaves?
-identify all structures found in a cross-section of a typical leaf and their functions [See Figure 6, p.548]:
-chloroplast, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, stoma (stomata), guard cells
(http://www2.sluh.org/bioweb/apbio/studysheets/ss35.htm)
-describe the structure & function of stems
-what are the main functions of stems?
-what is the difference between herbaceous and woody stems?
-how are vascular bundles arranged differently in stems of monocots and eudicots?
-what are the differences in structure & function of xylem and phloem?
-types of xylem cells: tracheids, vessel elements
-types of phloem cells: sieve cells, sieve tube elements, companion cells
-describe the structure & function of roots
-what are the main functions of roots?
-describe the difference between a taproot system and a fibrous root system
-identify the root cap and meristem in the root tip [See Figure 3, page 559]
-distinguish between a cross-section of a monocot root and a eudicot root
-describe how water, nutrients, and sugars are move into and around plants (including osmosis, active
transport, root pressure, transpiration, source and sink cells, translocation)
-describe uses for leaves, stems, and roots
LAB ACTIVITY: Observing Plant Tissues
-distinguish between root, stem, and leaf cross-sections and identify major structures in each
-identify if a plant is a monocot or a eudicot based on a stem or root cross-section
Plant Reproduction: (13.2, 13.3)
-give examples of asexual reproduction in plants
-describe the technique of grafting (including scion, stock)
-describe the functions of seeds
-compare and contrast the structure of monocot and eudicot seeds
-list some mechanisms of seed dispersal
-compare sexual reproduction in gymnosperms & angiosperms
-name the parts of the flower related to reproduction [See Figure 7, page 598]
-stamen (filament, anther) and carpel (stigma, style, ovary)
-distinguish between self-pollination and cross-pollination
-list different methods of pollination
Plant Growth: (13.5, 13.6)
-distinguish between apical meristems and lateral meristems
-describe how the following plant growth regulators affect the growth of a plant:
-auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid
LAB ACTIVITY: Factors Affecting Plant Growth Investigation
-describe how environmental factors (such as light, nutrients, temperature, soil) can affect the growth of
a plant, with specific reference to the investigation that you conducted
Succession & Biodiversity: (13.1)
-what is succession?
-what is the difference between primary succession and secondary succession?
-how can human activity affect succession positively? negatively?
