Plant Parts & Functions
This part of a plant anchors it in the ground and absorbs water and nutrients.
What are roots?
Plants use this process to make their own food.
What is photosynthesis?
These three structures are the main parts of a flower.
What are petals, stamens, and pistils?
This is the process in which some animals change shape as they grow.
What is metamorphosis?
What is an animal without a backbone?
What is an invertebrate?
This plant part supports the plant and carries water and nutrients up and down the plant.
What is the stem?
Name the three main ingredients plants need to make their food.
What are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water?
This is the male reproductive part of a flower where pollen is stored.
What is the stamen?
Name the stages of complete metamorphosis.
What are egg, larva, pupa, and adult?
This group of animals has feathers, wings, and beaks.
What are birds?
These are sometimes called the "food factories" of a plant because they capture sunlight for photosynthesis.
What are leaves?
Plants are called this because they make their own food.
What are producers?
This is the female reproductive part of a flower.
What is the pistil?
Name the stages of incomplete metamorphosis.
What are egg, nymph, and adult?
A frog begins life in water, usually has gills as a young animal, and later develops lungs. Which animal group does it belong to?
What are amphibians?
A plant's roots, stems, and leaves each have different jobs. Which plant part would be most directly affected if a plant could no longer absorb water and nutrients from the soil?
What are the leaves?
Humans and animals breathe out this gas, which plants use during photosynthesis. Plants then release oxygen into the air.
What is carbon dioxide?
This process occurs when pollen is transferred from the stamen to the pistil.
What is pollination?
A butterfly goes through what type of metamorphosis does it undergo?
What is complete metamorphosis?
A shark, goldfish, and tuna all belong to this animal group.
What are fish?
This part of a mature plant is responsible for reproduction and making new plants.
What is a flower?
During photosynthesis, plants make a food called this type of sugar.
What is glucose?
When a new seed begins to sprout, it is called this.
What is germination?
What is grasshopper?
What is cockroach?
A whale lives in the ocean, but it is not a fish. It breathes air with lungs, is warm-blooded, and feeds its young milk. What animal group does it belong to, and is it a vertebrate or invertebrate?
What is a mammal and a vertebrate?
