ROOTS
What is the primary function of the plant's root system?
What is anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients
What is the primary function of the vascular system in plants?
To transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
These specialized roots help some plants fix nitrogen from the atmosphere.
NODULES
This plant organ system carries out photosynthesis, producing sugars for the plant.
What are leaves?
What are the male reproductive parts of a flower called?
STAMEN
Which part of the root protects the delicate growing tip and helps it push through the soil?
Root cap
The vascular system includes:
xylem and phloem
What structure in a flower houses the ovules?
OVARY
These tiny openings on leaves allow for gas exchange and transpiration.
STOMATA
What are the female reproductive parts of a flower called?
Pistil or Carpel.
What is the purpose of root hairs in a plant's root system?
Root hairs increase the surface area of the roots, allowing for more efficient absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
Tissue that carries water
and minerals upwards
(only upwards) from the
roots to the leaf.
XYLEM
What is the name of the structure that develops from the fertilized ovule in a flower?
SEED
What is the primary function of the plant's stem?
To support the plant and transport water and nutrients.
What part of the flower is sticky and captures pollen during pollination?
STIGMA
The root system is made up of?
one or more roots
What is the Phloem?
Tissues that carry
glucose from the
leaves
throughout the
stem and the rest
of the plant.
What is the process by which water is lost from a plant through tiny openings in the leaves?
transpiration
The leaf of a plant trap what atmospheric gas
Carbon Dioxide
What is the protective layer that encases a developing flower bud?
SEPALS
What are the two main types of roots found in plants?
Fibrous roots and taproots.
How does water travel through a plant?
Roots take in water from the ground.
Water travels up the plant through
the stem
Xylem carries water to the leaves.
What is the transfer of pollen from the male to the female reproductive structures in a flower?
Pollination.
What is the main function of the cuticle on leaves?
To reduce water loss and protect against pathogens.
What is the purpose of petals in a flower?
TO ATTRACT POLLINATORS
