Describe the following propagation methods of air layering, tissue culture, stem cuttings, leaf cuttings,
root cuttings, & seeds.
Air layering is a method of propagating new trees and shrubs from stems still attached to the parent
plant. The stem is wrapped with damp moss to encourage roots to form.
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs
under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to
produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
Stem cuttings: It involves taking a section of stem from a parent plant and manipulating it to create a
new plant.
leaf cuttings: stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems
root cuttings: the portion of root is cut from a parent plant (often called a mother plant), placed in a
growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots and stems.
seeds: is the method of plant propagation (multiplying, reproducing, or breeding new plants) that is
done through the use of seeds.


What is germination vs propagation

, germination- seed sprouts
propagation- growing plants

leaf- photosynthesis
stem-support
root- water/ nutrients


what are the two types of roots?
tap & fibrous


list & describe 5 modified stems
Tuber: eyes, food storage, propagation (growing plants), underground
Rhizome(turf grass, ginger): underground horizontal stem, food storage
bulb: with bulblets, underground, food storage
bulb with leaves: underground, food storage
cladophyl: stem that goes through photosynthesis, above ground
stolon( golf course grass): above ground, horizontal stem, photosynthesis


what is the reproductive part of the plant?
The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants (angiosperms). Parts of the flower include petals,
sepals, one or more carpels (the female reproductive organs), and stamens (the male reproductive
organs).


What is osmosis?
is the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane in order to reduce a
concentration difference of a solute between a concentrate and permeate solution separated by the
membrane
