A seed is alive, but in an inactive state called _______.
What is dormancy?
100
Where you often find the roots of a plant.
What is underground?
100
This structure establishes the basic shape of the plant.
What is the stem?
100
Leaves are called the "energy factories" of plants because of this reason.
What is, most of the photosynthesis takes place in them?
100
This fundamental process is how a plant makes its own food (bonus points if you sing it).
What is photosynthesis?
200
This structure is the tight, almost airtight outer layer of the seed.
What is the seed coat?
200
This function of the root system is why it is so hard to pull weeds.
What is to stabilize the plant?
200
What the stomata would look like on a wilted leaf.
What is closed?
200
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle, found only in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
200
These two ingredients are used by the plant to make its own food.
What are water and carbon dioxide?
300
These large, lobe-shaped parts of the seed provide nutrition to the embryo so it can begin to grow.
What are the cotyledons?
300
What a plant may do with the extra energy it makes.
What is store it in the roots (also stem and leaves)?
300
Because cacti have no leaves to perform photosynthesis, that fundamental process takes place in this structure.
What is the stem?
300
These structures, seen on the underside of the leaf, regulate how much water leaves the plant by opening or closing.
What are the stomata?
300
This product of photosynthesis is what a plant uses as "food."
What is sugar (glucose)?
400
Seeds need these three conditions to germinate.
What is water, warmth, and air.
400
Water enters the plant through these tiny, thread-like projections.
What are root hairs?
400
This network of vessel-like tubes carries sugars from the leaves to the other parts of the plant.
What is phloem?
400
This is the green pigment that can capture energy from sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
400
This waste product of photosynthesis is used by other organisms to survive.
What is oxygen?
500
The first part of the embryo to emerge from the seed, which will become the root system.
What is the radicle?
500
Once water enters the plant, it is moved to these tube-like, connected cells where it is transported throughout the plant.
What is xylem?
500
A plant that lives in this type of environment will not have any stomata on its leaves.
What is underwater?
500
The process of water vapor leaving the plant through the stomates is called this.
What is transpiration?
500
The ingredients for photosynthesis are produced by this cellular process, and the products of photosynthesis are used as its ingredients.
What is cellular respiration?
