Flower Parts/Functions
100
What are the roles of the root? Name two functions.
Anchor plant, uptake of nutrients, uptake of water, food storage
100
True or false: cold temperatures are ideal for seed germination.
False
100
What part, I, helps supports/protects the flower during the budding stage
The sepal
100
What part, J, attracts pollinators?
The petal
200
What are the roles of the leaf? Name at least two functions.
Photosynthesis, gas exchange, cool plant, food storage
200
How does water influence seed germination?
A seed needs water to germinate (break down the seed coat to sprout), but too much can cause the seed to drown. Too little of water can cause the seed to not germinate at all.
200
What part of the flower is H pointing to? Hint: it supports the anther
The filament
200
What part, F, holds pollen?
The anther
300
What are the roles of the stem? Name at least two functions.
Hold the plant upright, transport nutrients, food storage, some photosynthesis
300
Calculate the germination rate: 6 seeds out of 10 seeds germinated
60% germination rate
6/10= 0.60
0.60 x 100= 60%
300
What part of the flower, B, contains ovules (also know as eggs)?
The ovary
300
What is the male part of the flower called? Name the parts that make it up.
Stamen- Anther and Filament
400
What are the roles of a flower? Name at least two functions.
Produce seeds, attract insects, produce fruit, produce pollen
400
What are the ideal (big picture) conditions for a seed to germinate
Warm temperatures, water amounts that will not drown the seed or dry out the seed
400
What part of the flower, D, helps collect pollen?
The stigma
400
How does a seed form from a flower?
Insects bring pollen to flower during pollination and the pollen travels to the ovary to go through fertilization
500
Name an real life food that represents each of the four plant parts (stem, leaf, flower, and root)
Stem: Celery, asparagus, etc
Leaf: Lettuces, spinach, etc
Flower: Broccoli, cauliflower, etc
Root: Carrot, potato, radish, etc
500
Why are germination rates important for farmers/producers?
Answers may vary: Whether the seeds are viable (good to use), Estimate populations to help predict potential yield
500
What is the name of the female part of a flower? Name its parts that make it up
Pistil- Stigma, Style, Ovary/Ovules
500
What makes a flower considered "complete"? Name the parts of a complete flower.
Four main parts: Pistil, Stamen, Sepal, and Petals
