reproduce
Leaves
This part of the plant allows for reproduction to occur.
Flower
Some plants, like wild roses, have thorns because...
it provides protection from predators
The part of the plant that takes in water and nutrients from the soil is the
roots
In the fall, when the leaves of a plant fall off, that plant is not able to
photosynthesize
Plants do photosynthesis to...
make food for themselves
While searching for ______, bees and other animals pollinate flowers.
Nectar (food)
Could a plant survive without leaves? Why or why not?
No it could not because then the plant would not be able to perform photosynthesis or take in energy from the sun.
The part of the plant that is allows for water, food, and nutrients to travel throughout the plant is the

Ms. Paul got a bouquet of cut flowers from her sister and even though she put them in water they died after a week because the flowers were missing the
roots
Chlorophyll is inside the leaf where photosynthesis and makes the leaves appear
green
Fruits, berries, and nuts all contain _______ that can be spread around by animals or humans.
seeds
It would not be able to have water and nutrients travel throughout it.
The part of the plant that is responsible for taking in energy and creating food is the
leaves
The stigma and the stamen are located in this part of a plant.
Flower
Photosynthesis involves these 5 parts.
Water, Oxygen, Sunlight (Energy), Carbon Dioxide, Glucose (Sugar/Food)
The pollen dusters hold the pollen while this part of the flower is sticky and catches the pollen.
Stigma
You have two neighbors who water their plants. Neighbor A waters their plants by spraying the leaves. Neighbor B waters their plants by spraying the soil. Neighbor __'s plants will grow better because...
B
water is taken in through the roots under the soil, not through the leaves.
The part of the plant that attracts animals is the
petals or flower
This specific part of a leaf carries water and sends the nutrients to other pars of the plant.
Veins
stomata
For pollination to happen, it is important that pollen come from _________ flowers
Construct an argument as a group that shows whether or not a tree trunk is the same thing as a stem.
Must include:
Yes a tree trunk is a type of stem.
