GRAB BAG
100
The study of life processes in an organism.
What is PHYSIOLOGY
100
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food
WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS
100
Protects the sexual organs as they form
What is the SEPAL
100
TRUE OR FALSE - Much pollination of plans occurs by pollen traveling on the wind?
TRUE
100
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE TEACHERS OF BIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY?
MRS. ARMSTRONG AND MRS. WILLIS
200
A plant's response to a stimulus such that the direction of the response is preprogrammed and not dependent of the direction of the stimulus.
What is NASTIC MOVEMENT
200
The pressure that gives the leaves and stems stiffness
What is TURGOR PRESSURE
200
Forms and releases pollen grains
What is ANTHER
200
As birds or insects travel from flower to flower they will brush up against what part of the flowers picking up pollen?
What is ANTHER
200
True or False - An insectivorous plant that cannot catch any insects will starve to death?
FALSE - these types of plants use insects for the raw materials of biosynthesis not for food
300
Spaces in the soil that determine how much water and air the soil can hold.
What is PORE SPACES
300
When a cell takes in large molecules it must first break them down into smaller molecules in order to use them.
What is hydrolysis
300
Holds the embryo sac
What is OVULE
300
As the birds and insects covered in pollen move to another plant sticky part will they brush up against completing the pollination process?
What is CARPEL
400
The process by which organic substances move through phloem of a plant
What is TRANSLOCATION
400
The vast majority of water a plant takes in is used for this process
What is TRANSPORT
400
Catches pollen grains
What is STIGMA
400
How did God design flowers to aid in the pollination process?
What are the bright colors and fragrances
400
What are flowers with either stamens or carpels but not both called?
What are IMPERFECT FLOWERS
500
A growth response to gravity
What is GRAVITROPISM
500
TRUE OR FALSE - Turgor pressure in a plant can be temporarily neglected?
TRUE
500
Dustlike grains on or in the anther which contain the sperm nuclei
What are POLLEN GRAINS
500
TRUE OR FALSE - birds, insects, moths and beetles are attracted to different aspects of flowers for pollination?
TRUE - SPECIFIC FLOWERS ARE DESIGNED TO ATTRACT SPECIFIC CREATURES - FOR EXAMPLE INSECTS ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO FLOWERS THAT HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF NECTAR THAT THEY COULD ACCIDENTALLY DROWN IN
500
