What Living Things Need
A living thing that makes it's own food-
What is a plant, or algae.
The two basic groups plants can be sorted into
What are flowering and non-flowering?
2 main functions of plant's roots
What is water and mineral absorption, holding the plant in place, and storing important nutrients/food for plant survival.
Ability to hook on to animal fur or clothes, float on water, be carried by the wind, or pooped out by animals is an example of this
What is a seed adaptation?
The 3 BASIC things a plant needs to make its own food.
What is sunlight, air and water.
Something that can move pollen between flowers.
What are birds, bees, wind and water.
Fruits protect me. I live inside a fruit. There can be 1 or me or many, many of me.
What is a seed?
This part of the plant is most important for food production.
What are the leaves?
Thorns, bark, and thickness are examples of this
What is a stem adaptation?
When plants make food (photosynthesis), they give off this gas.
What is oxygen?
Every seed has this. It keeps the seed from drying out.
What is a seed coat?
Where seeds are found in non-flowering plants
What is a cone?
Xylem is inside this part of the plant.
What is the stem?
Thin, waxy needles to help retain water or large ones spread out to take in more sunlight are examples of this
What are leaf adaptations?
This process occurs when a seed gets water and warmth
What is germination?
Another way plants can reproduce other than pollination and seed production (sexual reproduction)
What is asexual reproduction - like tubers, plant cuttings, and spores.
The stage of a plant's life when it gets its first set of leaves and roots.
What is a seedling?
Special colors, scents, sizes and shapes are examples of this for how I can attract more pollinators.
What are flower adaptations?
The most important nutrients for plant growth.
What are Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K)
A type of plant that uses spores to reproduce (hint, not a mushroom- a mushroom is not a plant)
Ferns, and mosses.
I am the stage of a plant's life when it has all the parts it needs to make new plants.
What is the mature plant?
This develops from a flower's ovary
What is a fruit?
Water lilies have long ones to reach the bottom of the pond while cacti have theirs at the surface to catch as much rain as possible. These are examples of
What is a root adaptation?
