Plant Structures I
Plant part used to absorb water through simple osmosis
Roots
A tube-like vascular tissue that takes water and minerals from rocks and soil to the stems and leaves. Only moves in one direction.
Xylem
In a plant cell, the ________ organelle is the site of photosynthesis
chloroplast
Biomolecule used for quick energy and found in cell walls of plant cells
carbohydrates
This system in animals acts like the vascular tissues in plants
Circulatory System
In plants, ____ is the sperm and ________ is the egg
pollen; ovule
Reproductive part of a plant
flower
Main site of photosynthesis
Leaves
biomolecule used for long term energy storage and found in the plasma membrane.
Lipids
Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of an injury. which body systems are interacting?
Circulatory system (Blood flow)
Immune system (white blood cells)
Name the FEMALE part of a flower
Pistil/Carpel
Transports glucose from the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
Phloem
Organelle responsible for converting glucose and oxygen to ATP, water and carbon dioxide
Mitochondria
Biomolecule used to support, transport, enzymes, antibodies and regulation. Made of amino acids.
Proteins
Which systems interact to force food down the intestines? (Name TWO)
Intestines break down food (digestive system) and muscles move the food through the digestive tract (Muscular system)
Name the MALE part of a flower.
The Stamen
Part of the plant that closes the stomata during drought/ night time.
Guard cells
C6H12O6 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + ATP
NAME and LOCATION of this reaction?
Cellular Respiration; Mitochondria
Biomolecule used as genetic information to make proteins. Made of nucleotides
Nucleic Acids
Cytokinins are a chemical messengers made in meristem tissue of roots and then carried to the rest of the plant to stimulate growth and cell division.
Which ANIMAL system also makes and sends chemical messengers?
Chemical messengers are hormones, which are made by the endocrine system in animals
This structure allows gas exchange in plants
Stomata
Plant vascular tissue is most similar to the ________ system in animals.
Circulatory
Energy + CO2 + H2O ---> C6H12O6 + O2
NAME and LOCATION of this reaction?
Photosynthesis; Chloroplast
What two biomolecules are used in the processes of transcription and translation?
Nucleic acids and proteins
Name the three body systems that aid in cellular respiration.
respiratory, circulatory and disgestive
