Angiosperm Anatomy Test Vocabulary
1. Anther • At end of stamen. Produces pollen.
2. Calyx • The set of sepals
6. Corolla • The set of petals
8. Filament • Thin part of stamen that supports the anther.
11. Ovary • At the base of a carpel. Where seeds develop. Becomes the fruit.
15. Petal • Non-sexual, often showy part of a flower used to attract pollinators.
16. Pistil • The set of carpels in a flower. Often used synonymously for “carpel”
17. Pollen • Released by anther. Produces sperm.
20. Sepals • Non-sexual flower bud scales. Sometimes showy.
21. Stamen • The male reproductive structure. Made up of anther and filament.
23. Stigma • The sticky receptive tip of a carpel.
24. Style • The “tube” between the stigma and ovary on a carpel
28. Blade • The flattened, photosynthetic, part of a leaf.
29. Compound leaf • A leaf divided into leaflets.
36. Palmately compound leaf • Leaflets radiate from a common point.
39. Petiole • Leaf stalk
41. Pinnately compound leaf • Leaflets branch off a mid vein, like the pinna of a feather
44. Simple leaf • A leaf with a single blade, not divided into leaflets.
47. Vein • Clump of vascular tissue in leaves
Added: Tendril • A thin, modified leaf, used for grasping a support
Added: Stomata • Leaf pores for gas exchange
50. Bark • Outer layer of stem outside the vascular cambium.
53. Epidermis • Single surface layer of cells on the outside of a young stem.
54. Internode • The section of stem between nodes
55. Meristem • The zone of dividing cells. In stems, it’s in the vascular cambium.
56. Node • Often swollen point on a stem where leaves and buds attach.
57. Phloem • Also called “inner bark.” A single layer of live cells outside the vascular cambium that transports plant products through plant
61. Vascular cambium • Single layer of meristem tissue, produces xylem inside and phloem outside.
63. Xylem • Stem tissue on the inside of the vascular cambium that conducts water up a plant. The major component of “wood.”
64. Adventitious root • Roots that arise from somewhere other than the normal root zone
65. Diffuse roots • Roots divided equally among several roots (no tap root). Can be FIBROUS or FLESHY.
66. Root hair • Tiny projections near the end of a root that aid in absorption.
Rootcap • A protective layer of tissue that protects the tender tip of a root and its meristem zone.
68. Taproot • A root system consisting of one main root, like a carrot.
