Structures of Plants
The process that takes sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (food)
photosynthesis
The often colorful pollinator attractor...
What is an petal?
Positive tropisms are upward and negative tropisms are downward.
What is False. Positive is towards and negative is away.
This part of the plant is where photosynthesis happens.
What are the leaves
The process that releases excess water back into the atmosphere.
Transpiration
I make up the entire male part of the flower.....
What is the stamen?
When a stem grows towards light, it demonstrates this.
What is positive phototropism?
The name of the external factors that can cause a plants growth to change.
Stimulus
This part of a plant can be woody or flexible. Water and food travel up and down this part to get to the leaves and flowers.
What is the stem
The process that breaks down chemical energy (food) to obtain ATP
Cellular Respiration
I am the sticky top of the carpel that receives pollen.
What is the stigma?
When the vines of a bean plant attach to a trellis, the plant is demonstrating this.
What is thigmotropism?
the chemical substance that captures sunlight and gives plants their green color
chlorophyll
Tiny openings in the bottom of a leaf that allows gas exchange and the release of water
stomata
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs?
chloroplasts
I am the pollen producing structure on top of the filament.
What is the anther?
When a root grows towards the pull of gravity.
What is positive gravitropism.
What is the chemical formula for Photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Within the plant, this vascular tissue is what water and nutrients use to travel up to all parts of the plant.
What are xylem tubes
the organelle in which cellular respiration occurs?
mitochondria
I am the leaflike structure around the petals that protects the developing flower.
What is the sepal?
A plants response to less daylight and heat
dormancy
The structure in the stem of a plant that is responsible for transporting sugar down to the rest of the plants for use/storage
Phloem
