-preserve habitats and species

tentative, unproven explanation of an observation

test to determine if a hypothesis is correct

- must be repeatable

-must have variables.

results from the experiment

useful generalization derived from experimental data

grouping of related principles

internal structure of plants

Plant function

describing, naming and classifying plants

• plant systematics
• - developing methods for classifying and naming plants

plant distributions

interaction between plants and their environments

form and structure of plants

science of hereditary

- potential development of better agricultural, medicinal, and other use of plants

cell structure and function

practical uses of plants and plant products

-still vast amounts of botanical information yet to be discovered.

-carry out photosynthesis

-stationary (most); Algae move

-open system of growth (continues growing); delay of growth during winter or certain conditions

- Cell walls (most); bacteria also have cell walls and they arent plants.

-green color; Not all plants are green

-animals

-fungi

-molds

-mushrooms

-bacteria

-algae (debatable)

-2 cotyledons, develop above ground

-primary root usually present

-growth either herbaceous or woody

-vascular bundles usually forming a ring

-leaves usually net-veined

-flower parts ususally 4 or 5

-1 cotyledon, usually develop under ground

-roots usually fibrous

-growth is mostly herbaceous

-vascular bundles scattered

-leaves usually parallel-veined

-flower parts usually in multiples of 3
