What are roots?
What is the thickest root that grows downward?
What is the primary root?
What is the flat, broad part of a leaf called?
What is the blade?
What is the male reproductive part of a flower?
What is the stamen?
A plant is not firmly anchored in the soil. Which plant part may be having a problem?
What are the roots?
Which plant part supports the leaves, flowers, and fruit while transporting water and nutrients?
What is the stem?
What are the thin, fine structures that absorb water and nutrients?
What are root hairs?
What is the central vein running through a leaf called?
What is the midrib?
What is the female reproductive part of a flower?
What is the pistil?
A plant's stem cannot transport water and nutrients to its leaves. Which function has been disrupted?
What is the stem's transport function?
Which plant part carries out photosynthesis to produce food for the plant?
What are leaves?
Which root structures grow outward from the primary root?
What are secondary roots?
What is the part of a leaf that connects it to the stem?
What is the petiole?
Which flower part attracts insects to help with pollination?
What are the petals?
Birds eat a fruit and carry its seeds to another location. What important plant process does this help accomplish?
What is seed dispersal?
Which two plant parts are directly involved in producing and spreading the next generation of plants?
What are flowers and seeds?
What is the function of the root cap?
What is protecting and guiding the root tip?
What is the name for the edge of a leaf?
What is the margin?
Which two structures make up the stamen?
What are the anther and filament?
A developing flower is exposed because the outer protective structures are damaged. Which flower part normally provides this protection?
What are the sepals?
A plant can absorb water and transport it through its stem, but it struggles to produce enough food. Which plant part is most likely not functioning properly, and why?
What are the leaves, because they carry out photosynthesis?
If a plant's root hairs were damaged, which two important functions would be affected most directly?
What are absorbing water and nutrients?
A student identifies the place where a leaf attaches to the stem as the internode. What is the correct term, and what does an internode actually describe?
What is the node; the internode is the section of stem between buds or leaves?
A flower has a functioning stamen, but its female reproductive structures are not functioning. Which reproductive part is affected, and what three structures belong to it?
What is the pistil, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary?
A plant's roots absorb water, its stem transports it, and its leaves receive it. However, the plant cannot make enough food. Explain which process is involved and which plant part is primarily responsible.
What is photosynthesis, which takes place in the leaves?
