A
Name 3 plant parts.
leaves, stem, petals, roots, etc.
Name a flowering plant.
any plant that has a flower
(rose bush, sunflower, fruit trees, wildflowers, etc.)
water + _________ + CO2= sugar + O2
sunlight
Step 1 of photosynthesis begins in the roots. What is the job of the roots of a plant?
to soak up water from the soil, as well as vitamins and minerals
What is the type of gas in the area that humans benefit from breathing?
oxygen
Name 3 plant needs.
sunlight, water, soil, vitamins, minerals, carbon dioxide, etc.
Name a type of plant that does not have flowers.
plant example (pine trees, evergreen trees, ferns, grass, mushrooms, cattails, etc.)
water + sunlight + CO2= _________ + O2
sugar
Step 2 of photosynthesis includes the leaves. Name 1 thing that gets soaked into the leaves.
sunlight
carbon dioxide
What is the type of gas that plants release from their leaves as WASTE (they do not need this gas in the air)?
oxygen
A carnivorous plant, like a venus fly trap, still uses photosynthesis as a food source.
true
All plants use photosynthesis to create their own food.
What is the special type of food that plants eat?
sugar
glucose
Which plant part soaks up water from the soil?
roots
Step 2 of photosynthesis includes the leaves. Name 1 thing that gets soaked into the leaves.
sunlight
carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide
Describe why plants must go through photosynthesis in order to "eat".
Plants are unable to move to find nutrients, like most animals and humans. Plants must make their own food to thrive in their natural environment.
true
Which plant part does carbon dioxide soak into from the air?
leaves
The cholorophyll in plant cells is green, causing the plant to be green.
True or False?
true
true or false- This is the common abbreviation for carbon dioxide:
CD2
false
CO2
List the steps of photosynthesis, using your formula.
water + sunlight + CO2= sugar + O2
What is one of the functions of a plant's leaves?
absorb sunlight
absorb carbon dioxide
where sugar is made for plant food
Which plant part is responsible for the location of where the plant food (sugar) is made?
leaves
True or False-
The scientific name for the type of sugar that plants consume is sucrose.
false!
glucose is the scientific name for sugar that plants consume
true or false-
Carbon dioxide and oxygen are both used by the plant during photosynthesis.
false
Oxygen is not used, but released as waste through the plant leaves, back to the air.
