Plant Parts
These are responsible for keepins the plants in place and providing essential nutrients.
Roots
What organelle is required for photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts
Plants need water in their cells to maintain pressure and avoid wilting. What tissue brings water from the roots?
Xylem
What is a tropism?
A pattern of growth in response to a stimulus.
This reproductive organ is responsible for containing the ovules.
Ovary
Vascular tissue that transports sugars.
Phloem
This organelle is responsible for cellular respiration in plants.
Mitochondria
What product of plants needs to be transported to all the plant cells?
Glucose
This type of tropism is responsible for vines ability to climb.
Thigmotropism
This organ is where the pollen is produced.
Stamen or anther
This part of the plant is responsible for plant reproduction.
flower
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, solar energy
Due to the movement through the phloem, this where excess sugar is stored and can be found in these vegetables.
The roots. ex: Potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, turnips...
Name and define three tropisms we discussed.
Phototropism, Gravitropism, Thigmotropism
What are three sources of pollinators?
What is the purpose of guard cells?
Guard cells help with gas exchange and prevent water loss.
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, ATP
Water loss from the stomata and movement of water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Transpiration
Chemotropism and Hydrotropism cause this response in plants.
Roots will grow towards water and nutrients in soil
This process is performed to allow for the pollen to reach the female reproductive organs of the plant.
Pollenation
Where is the palisades mesophyll and what is its main function.
Found in the leaf, palisade cells are under the epidermal layer and are the primary place for photosynthesis.
Give the full equation for photosynthesis.
CO2 + H2O + Solar Energy -> C6H12O6 + O2
This process occurs due to the movement of a higher concentrations of water outside of the roots to lower concentrations inside.
Osmosis
What hormone is responsible for the tropisms we discussed?
Auxin
Use key terms to describe the process of fertilzation.
The pollen leaves the anther and sticks to the stigma. The pollen tube grows down the style into the ovary. The pollen DNA mixes with the ovules to form seeds.
