Plant Structures
I can state the function of the root system.
What is anchoring the plant and/or absorbing water and nutrients?
The word equation for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen?
Define transpiration.
What is the loss of water vapor from the plant, especially through the stomata
Define asexual reproduction.
What is reproduction without the fusion of gametes, producing genetically identical offspring?
Define translocation.
What is the movement of food substances in the phloem?
This part of the plant carries out photosynthesis.
What is the leaf?
Name a limiting factor of photosynthesis.
What is light, carbon dioxide, or temperature?
Name one factor that affects the rate of transpiration.
What is temperature, humidity, wind, or light?
Give an example of a plant that reproduces asexually.
What is a potato (via tubers) or strawberry (via runners)?
Give an example of a plant adaptation to dry conditions.
What are thick waxy cuticles or deep roots?
Name the layer responsible for most photosynthesis.
What is the palisade mesophyll?
What is the importance of photosynthesis to animals?
What is providing oxygen and/or food?
Explain the importance of transpiration.
What is cooling the plant and maintaining water and nutrient transport?
Name one advantage of asexual reproduction in plants.
What is faster reproduction or no need for a mate?
Name one sign of mineral deficiency in plants.
What is yellow leaves or stunted growth?
The internal structures of Monocot Stem and Dicot stem show different arrangements of their vascular bundles.
What is vascular bundles are scattered in stems and arranged in a ring in roots?
What pigment in the chloroplast absorbs light for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
The device used to measure transpiration rate
What is a potometer?
Give an example of artificial vegetative propagation.
What is grafting or using stem cuttings?
What is the part in plants called that assist with opening and closing the stomata?
What are guard Cells?
These structures transports water, minerals and food
What is the xylem and phloem?
Compare respiration and photosynthesis in terms of gas exchange.
What is photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while respiration does the opposite?
The mechanisms of water movement in the transpiration stream.
What are root pressure, capillary action, and cohesion-tension theory?
Genetically compare sexual and asexual reproduction in plants.
What is sexual reproduction involves genetic variation, while asexual reproduction does not?
Describe an experiment to show evidence of translocation.
What is ringing a tree to block phloem?
