What Living Things Need
I am a plant that makes large yellow flowers with dark centres.
Sunflowers
This can grow into a new plant. Most fruits have these.
What is a seed?
I am in the ground and absorb nutrients for the plant
Roots
What are the green structures on the side of the stem that make energy for the plant?
Leaves
Any organism that creates its own food is this
What is an autotroph?
I am the 3 BASIC things a plant needs to make its own food.
What is sunlight, air and water.
I am the things that can move pollen between flowers.
What are pollinators?
Plants use this chemical process to make their energy
Photosynthesis
I hold the plant in the soil. I also take in water and minerals. I also store food for the plant.
What are the roots?
The transfer of pollen to the ovules
HINT: Bees do this.
What is pollination?
When plants make food, they give off this gas. We need to breathe this in order to live.
What is oxygen?
Every seed has this.
What is a seed coat, stored food, and an embryo?
The reproductive parts of an angiosperm.
What are flowers and fruits?
I hold up the plant. I allow water and food to travel through the plant.
What is the stem?
The main difference between pollination and self-replication
Pollination by pollinators, self-replication does not need pollinators.
I am on the underside of the leaves. I can open and close depending on the surrounding conditions.
What are stomata?
This is where the pollen is created.
What is the anthers?
The phloems job is?
To transport food (glucose) to parts of the plant.
I am the stem that holds up the female stigma.
Style
True or False: Gymnosperm and angiosperm reproduce by cloning (flowering and non-flowering plants).
False
I am the three basic things needed for germination.
What are sunlight, water, and nutrients?
This is where reproduction of angiosperms occurs.
What is the flower?
Roots always grow down into me to keep the plant in one place. There are many minerals in me.
What is the ground?
Most flowers make me. I am a sticky powder inside the flower that helps to make the seeds.
What is pollen?
The three things needed for photosynthesis
What is sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide?
