Conifers, such as pines and spruces, are known for their needle-like leaves which help reduce water loss.

Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in fruits.

Gymnosperms are characterized by having seeds that are exposed or not enclosed in an ovary.

Pteridophytes, such as ferns, have vascular tissue but reproduce via spores instead of seeds.

Herbs, such as garlic and oregano, are well-known for their antimicrobial properties.

Adaptogens, such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, are used to help the body manage stress.

Herbs, such as echinacea, are often used to enhance immune function.

Cinnamon has been shown to help lower blood sugar levels in various studies.

While not a plant, insulin is often produced using genetically modified bacteria or yeast.

Medicinal herbs often contain bioactive compounds that can inhibit cancer cell growth.

Xerophytes are specially adapted to survive in dry, arid environments with adaptations to conserve water.

Xerophytes are specialized plants that have adaptations to conserve water in arid environments.

The alternation of generations is a life cycle characteristic of plants where they alternate between a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte.

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to genetic diversity.

Asexual reproduction can involve runners or stolons, which are horizontal stems that produce new plants at their nodes.

Alkaloids, such as those found in the periwinkle plant, are used in chemotherapy.

Sclerenchyma cells have thickened, lignified walls that provide structural support and rigidity to mature plants.

Meristematic tissue consists of undifferentiated cells that can divide and differentiate into various types of plant cells.

Parenchyma cells, particularly in leaves, are primarily responsible for photosynthesis.

Xylem is the plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Xylem is the plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and minerals from roots to leaves.

Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen between different flowers of the same species.

Flowering plants primarily use sexual reproduction, which involves the formation of seeds through the fertilization of ovules.

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes from different individuals.

Sexual reproduction in plants involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to the formation of seeds.

Sexual reproduction in plants involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to the formation of seeds.

Dicots typically have a taproot system, which features a main root that grows deeper into the soil.

Monocots typically have a fibrous root system, which consists of many thin roots that spread out.

A taproot system features a single dominant root that grows deeper into the soil, with smaller lateral roots branching off.

Mycorrhizal fungi and plants have a mutualistic relationship where both benefit; fungi receive carbohydrates while aiding nutrient uptake for plants.
