Plant Structures
I hold the plant steady in the ground, absorb and store nutrients.
What is the root system?
The compound found in the air that plants use for food.
What is carbon dioxide?
Plants produce poisonous chemicals to help them with this aspect of survival.
What is protection?
The word photosynthesis literally means "to bring together light". In plants the process know as photosythesis serves what purpose?
How do plants make their own food?
The process of moving pollen between plants to create new plants is known as...
What is pollination?
I attract pollinators with my bright colors and (often) sweet smell.
What is the flower?
The energy plants use to make food comes in the form of heat and light.
What is the sun?
Plants have adapted many strategies to help them spread seeds, and multiply.This helps them survive in this way.
What is reproduction?
Fir trees inhabit cold and snowy places. Their leaves are thin and needle-like. Larger leaves absorb more sunlight, but would be damaged by all the snow. Changing a characteristic or behavior to fit better into this winter environment is known as what?
What is an adaptation?
The point at which a root emerges from a seed is known as...
What is germination?
I make food for the plant, by taking in carbon dioxide and absorbing sunlight.
What are the leaves?
Without this drink plants would starve because they would not be able to make food.
What is water?
Cactus have think stems, grass grows deep roots, and ball moss absorb nutrients from the air. All of these strategies help plant to survive by making this resource accessible.
What is food?
Larger leaves are able to produce more food than smaller leaves. This is because they are able to process more sunlight and turn it into food. The process by which this happens is known as?
What is photosynthesis?
The point of combination between plants which results in the creation of a new plant is known as...
What is fertilization?
I help move nutrients throughout the plant, while also giving support to the top plant.
What is the stem?
Plants are primary producers, because unlike you and me, they make this food for themselves.
What is glucose?
Some plants have big leaves, while others have small leaves. Both of these are environmentally appropriate strategies for obtaining this resource.
What is food?
The time frame between a plant's birth and death is called its...
What is a life span?
After a plant becomes mature, it releases seeds which may be moved from their parent plant to a new location. From here they will germinate and continue their life cycle. The movement of seeds is known as...
What is seed dispersal?
I am the reproductive portion of the plant, created by a mature plant.
What is a seed?
Once a plant is done eating they make this waste product, essential to life on planet Earth.
What is oxygen?
BONUS
Some plants give off a bad stink, like rotting flesh. This is a strategy for attracting flies. Pollinators, like flies help the plant with which aspect of survival?
What is reproduction?
The pattern of changes that a plant undergoes throughout its life is known as...
