Plant Biology -

: A unique life cycle where plants alternate between a multicellular haploid phase ( gametophyte ) and a multicellular diploid phase ( sporophyte ). 3. Major Plant Groups

Plants are generally classified based on their vascular systems and reproductive methods: Plant Biology

: Driven by apical meristems, this results in the lengthening of roots and shoots. : A unique life cycle where plants alternate

: Often called the "kitchen" of the plant, they are the primary site for photosynthesis and gas exchange through microscopic openings called stomata . 2. Key Biological Processes : Often called the "kitchen" of the plant,

: The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (glucose) and oxygen. Growth Types :

: The "anchor" of the plant, roots absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil.

: Many plants use flowers to attract pollinators and produce seeds and fruits , which protect the embryo and aid in its dispersal.
