Plant Structures
What is chlorophyll?
These are three ways that pollen can be transferred from one plant to another.
What are by wind, by water, and by animals?
This is the difference between weather and climate.
What is that weather is the daily condition of the atmosphere in a certain area. Climate is the average weather in an area over an extended period of time.
This weather tool measures air pressure.
What is a barometer?
This is the ability to cause change or do work.
What is energy?
These are the two parts that anchor and support the plant.
What are the stem and the roots?
Photosynthesis is critical to plants and animals because...
Plants: make food/get energy
Animals: oxygen to breathe, plants to eat
Under the right conditions, a thunderstorm can lead to this more severe form of weather.
What is a tornado?
This is the boundary where two air masses meet.
What is a front?
These are the four major layers of the Earth.
What are the cruster, the outer core, the inner core, and the mantle?
Photosynthesis is critical to plants and animals because...
Plants: make food/gain energy
Animals: need oxygen to breathe, plants to eat
Sunlight is absorbed by the leaves. What two substances are also taken in by the plant for photosynthesis?
What are carbon dioxide and water?
These clouds are typically present during light rain or drizzles.
What are stratus clouds?
This is created when the air cools, becomes denser, and sinks. It brings clear skies and light winds.
What is a high pressure area?
This is the force that opposes motion created when objects rub against each other.
What is friction?
Although most green plants produce seeds, some plants like ferns and mosses produce these instead.
What are spores?
If all the pollinators of a certain flower disappear, this will likely occur.
These are the weather conditions that a warm front will bring.
What are clouds, warmer temperatures, and light precipitation.
This type of front can bring severe thunderstorms, hailstorms, snow squalls, and/or tornadoes.
What is a cold front?
Light: Transverse
The parts of a plant perform the following roles:
A. Attract pollinators
B. Create pollen for reproduction
C. Collect pollen to produce seeds
What are...
A. The petals
B. The stamen
C. The pistil and stigma
This is what a plant suspends its life processes.
What is dormancy?
A hurricane could have this effect on the environment.
What is high tides, coastal erosion, destruction of coastal habitats, etc.?
A meteorologist noticed a sudden drop in the air pressure readings on her barometer. She could predict this about the weather based on her reading.
What is changing from fair to stormy?
Kyle designed an experiment to test how friction affects the distance a ball rolls by rolling the same ball across three different surfaces.
These are the independent and dependent variables.
What are...
Independent: the surface
Dependent: the distance traveled
