Plant Processes
This process uses light energy to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
What is Photosynthesis?
These structures absorb water and dissolved minerals from the soil
What are roots
A plant has sharp thorns all over it, what is the likely purpose of this feature?
Prevent feeding
Plants often produce these vibrant or fragrant features to attract pollinators
What is a flower
The simple sugar that plants create during photosynthesis
This vascular tissue transports water only one way up the plant
What is Xylem
An inherited plant feature that helps it survive or reproduce is called this
What is an adaptation
The transfer of pollen to a flower’s pollen-receiving part is called this.
What is Pollination
This process responsible for moving water throughout a plant
What is transpiration
Plants without xylem or phloem belong to this group.
What are nonvascular plants
Some plants have the ability to close these pores to prevent water loss
What are stomata
The process of a plant pollinating without assistance from other organisms (such as bees)
What is Self-pollination
This vascular tissue is responsible for transporting food throughout the plant
What is phloem
A period of extreme dryness in which plants receive little to no water
What is drought
Plants often produce these vibrant or fragrant features to attract pollinators
what is a flower
This process occurs day and night and is how the plant uses energy to grow and repair cells.
What is cellular respiration
Correct this statement: Plants absorb their food from the soil using roots.
Plants absorb water from soil using roots and create food via photosynthesis
Give one example of an adaptation that might help a plant avoid being eaten by an animal
Chemical defense, thorns, etc.
What might you notice if a plant is not being pollinated?
Fruit stop developing, no seeds produced, no pollinators, etc.
