Botany Basics
The study of plants, their structure, classification, and importance.
What is botany?
This type of plant produces delicious fruits like apples and oranges.
What are fruit-bearing trees?
This part of the plant often has colorful petals and is responsible for reproduction.
What is a flower?
This part of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
What are roots?
The process by which plants grow from a seed, forming new seedlings is known as this.
What is germination?
This process allows plants to make their own food using sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
The shade from trees reduces this.
What is ground temperature?
This outermost layer of the tree protects it from injury and disease.
What is the bark?
This part of the plant is usually green and captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
What are leaves?
This term describes the stage in a plant's life cycle when it produces flowers and seeds.
What is flowering?
This is the green pigment in plants responsible for capturing light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
Having these in your home can improve air quality by removing toxins.
What are houseplants?
These small openings on the surface of leaves allow gaseous exchange.
What are stomata?
This innermost part of the tree is composed of dead cells and provides structural support.
What is the heartwood?
Gravity, Air, Water, Animals, and Explosions.
What are methods of seed dispersal?
Produced products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This substance, produced by trees, is essential for numerous products like furniture and paper.
What is wood?
This process involves planting new trees to replace those that have been cut down.
What is reforestation?
Surrounding the heartwood, this part of the tree is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
What is the sapwood (xylem)?
During this process, plants undergo changes to prepare for reproduction, such as bud formation.
What is maturation (mature plant)?
6CO2+6H2O-> C6H12O6+6O2
What is photosynthesis?
Trees and plants help clean the air by doing this.
What is absorbing carbon dioxide?
This helps to anchor soil and prevent it from being washed away.
What are plant roots?
The movement of sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves is facilitated by this type of plant tissue.
What is phloem?
Plant cycle in order.
What is Seed Dispersal - Seed - Germination - Seedling - Flowering - Mature - Mature plant?
