Structures of Seed Plants
This structure of a seed plant usually has both male and female parts for reproduction
What is a Flower?
This is the main process that draws water up from the roots, it is the evaporation of water from the surface of the plant
What is Transpiration?
This is the first step in the life cycle of seed plants - it starts out as this.
What is a Seed?
These are long stems that grow along the surface of the soil.
What are runners?
This role of a plant is a waste product from photosynthesis that allows us to breathe.
What is providing oxygen?
This structure of a seed plant provides a pathway for movement of water and supports the leaves.
What is a stem?
This process helps move water up the tubes in the stem of a plant.
What is Capillary Action?
The second stage in the life cycle of plants. After a seed starts to grow, it becomes this.
These are stems that run underground. They are produced close to the plant to make bulbs, tubers and corms.
What are rhizomes?
This role of plants is when plants become food for other organisms.
What is providing food?
This structure of a seed plant contains an embryo that will form a new plant and contains a food supply for the embryo.
What is a seed?
This process moves water from the soil to enter the roots.
What is Osmosis?
The third step in the life cycle of seed plants. When seedlings grow and develop reproductive structures, it becomes this.
What is an adult plant?
These are new plants that form on roots.
What are Suckers?
This role is when plants protect other organisms from weather and from predators.
What is providing shelter?
This structure of a seed plant produces food for the plant, it takes in and releases oxygen/CO2 and allows water to exit the plant.
What are Leaves?
This process allows plants to make their own food.
What is Photosynthesis?
The fourth step in the life cycle of seed plants. When an adult plant is pollinated, it then makes its own seeds before this happens.
What is restarting the cycle?
These are small pieces of a plant that usually have part of the stem and a few leaves. Most plants can produce new roots from a cut stem.
What are Cuttings?
This role is when plants rebuild the soil to help new life begin and prevent erosion.
What is building and protecting soil?
This structure of a seed plant absorbs water and anchors the plant in the soil
What are the roots?
This process uses sugar produced in photosynthesis to produce CO2 and water.
What is Cellular Respiration?
After the last step in the life cycle, the cycle starts over. This is the first step of the life cycle where plants start as these.
What are seeds?
This is done by attaching a part of one plant onto another plant.
What is grafting?
This use of plants are made of strong pieces of the cell wall that plants use to connect cells together.
What is fibre?
