This structure holds the flowers upright and brings water & nutrients from the roots to the leaves and flowers.
What is the stem?

What are the veins?
This is a type of plant that eats bugs.
What is carnivorous?
This is the type of gas that plants breathe in.
What is carbon dioxide?
The types of creatures we have been growing for weeks in our fish tanks (hint: they go through metamorphosis)
What are tadpoles?
This is the bright, colorful part of the plant that attracts pollinators.
What is the flower?
This part of the plant brings water and nutrients up from the soil.
What are the roots?
The reason some plants eat bugs.
What is poor soil quality?
This is the type of relationship where two plants do things to help each other live.
What is a symbiotic relationship?
The type of creatures in our fish tank which are a result of metamorphosis. (hint: we've already let go of three)
What are frogs?
This makes food for the plant using sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil through photosynthesis, and is responsible for the transfer of gases.
What are the leaves?
This part of a plant helps protect the petals of a flower before it blooms.

What is algae?

This is the part of the flower that collects the pollen and sends it through the style to make seeds.
What is the stigma?
This plant separates its flowers from the leaves, which eat bugs, with a long, tall stem.
What are sundews?
Plants rely on these to transfer pollen from plant to plant.
What are pollinators?
The organ that allows fish and tadpoles to breathe oxygen underwater.
What are gills?
These are like small mouths on the leaves that help transfer gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What are the stomata?
This is the part of a flower that holds the anther.
What is a filament?
This plant has a structure that holds sticky liquid which digests bugs when they can't crawl back up the slippery inside of the flower.
What is a pitcher plant?
The tristerix, which lives inside of a cactus and relies on it as a water source, is an example of this type of plant.
What is parasitic, or a parasite?
The organ that tadpoles develop when they become froglets which allows them to breathe air.
What are lungs?
