Plant Anatomy
This part of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Roots
fruits that develop from a single ovary, such as cherries and peaches.
a simple fruit
Founded in 1928, the first FFA convention was held in this U.S. city.
Kansas City, Missouri?
FFA career development events (CDEs) are designed to help members build skills for this.
agricultural careers
This process uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen in plants.
Photosynthesis
This green pigment allows plants to capture sunlight for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
This modified stem, found in crops like garlic and onion, consists of fleshy leaves used for food storage.
a bulb
The official FFA colors are this pair, symbolizing the national scope and fields of crops.
National Blue and Corn Gold
This type of FFA experience program lets students gain hands-on career skills outside the classroom, such as working on a farm or running a project.
Supervised Agricultural Experience
This process describes the movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from the leaves.
Transpiration
This vascular tissue carries water and nutrients upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.
xylem
Cucumbers and pumpkins belong to this fruit type, characterized by a leathery rind and fleshy interior.
This section of the FFA emblem represents unity, as it is grown in every state of the nation.
cross-section of the ear of corn
FFA career pathways are grouped into areas such as Agribusiness, Animal Systems, Environmental Service Systems, and this field that focuses on plants.
Plant System
The phloem is responsible for transporting this type of product throughout the plant.
sugars (carbohydrates)
The male part of a flower that produces pollen.
stamen
Bananas are seedless fruits, meaning they typically develop without this process.
fertilization
This 1969 milestone opened FFA membership to a new group of students who had previously been excluded.
the admission of female members
This career development event challenges members in veterinary knowledge, clinical procedures, and animal care.
Veterinary Science
This plant hormone stimulates cell elongation and is key in phototropism, when plants bend toward light.
auxin
This opening on a leaf’s surface allows gases to move in and out of the plant.
stomata
where the fleshy part develops from the floral receptacle, not the ovary itself.
a pome
The National FFA Organization’s motto has four lines; the last line is this.
“Living to Serve”
FFA recognizes members who achieve success in career exploration, SAE projects, and leadership by awarding this highest degree.
American FFA degree
This specialized layer of cells controls the opening and closing of stomata to regulate gas exchange and water loss.
