Information to Know
 Know the difference between vascular and nonvascular plants
 Know the differences between seedless nonvascular plants and seedless vascular
plants
o Also know examples of each group
 Know the purpose of stoma and guard cells. Know when stoma are open and when
they will close
 Know characteristics of plant leaves, stems, roots, and vascular tissue
 Know the difference between xylem and phloem
 Know how cambium produces vascular tissue. Where is the xylem in a tree and
where are the cambium and phloem (diagram page 255)
 Know what gymnosperms are and what they use to reproduce instead of flowers
and fruit. Know some examples of gymnosperms
 Know characteristics of angiosperms and some examples
 Know differences between monocots and dicots. Be able to recognize drawings of
flowers and leaves as either monocots or dicots.
 Know several things that plants are good for.
 Know the reproductive parts of a plant and what their purpose is (Example: the
purpose of the style is to allow the pollen to reach the egg). Know how to label
them on a diagram and know which parts are male and which parts are female.
 Know how to label plant parts such as hypocotyl, node, internode, true leaves,
flower buds, cotyledon, petiole
Practice Essays
1. List 5 things plants can be used for and how these things are useful to you.
2. Compare and contrast dicots and monocots, giving at least 4 differences between
the two types of plants.
3. Know how plants avoid pollinating themselves, despite the fact that anthers
containing pollen are right next to the stigma.
4. Describe how plants have adapted to living on land (4 adaptations).
5. Give examples of plants where you eat the following: stems, roots, leaves, fruit
