Flower Anatomy
This is considered the male part of a flower.
What is the stamen?
This is the process in which a plant takes carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to create its own food.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the process in which plants break down glucose to release energy.
What is respiration?
This is a change in an organism's environmental conditions that can affect the organism in either a positive or negative way.
What is a stimulus?
This word is used to describe a change that a plant undergoes to survive.
What is an adaptation?
This is considered the female part of a flower.
What is the pistil?
These are considered the reactants in the photosynthesis equation.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight?
What are glucose and oxygen?
This is an organism's reaction to a change.
What is a response?
This is the process in which water is lost through the stomata.
What is transpiration?
This part of the male reproductive structure of a flower produces and stores pollen.
What is the anther?
These are considered the products in the photosynthesis equation.
What are glucose and oxygen?
These are considered the products in the respiration equation.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and energy?
This is a plant's growth either toward or away from a stimulus.
What is a tropism?
This type of adaptation is when plants enter a period of inactivity, usually in order to survive until growing conditions are suitable again.
What is dormancy?
These parts of the flower protect the developing reproductive structures until a flower fully matures.
What are the sepals?
These are tiny openings all along a plant's surface that act as doorways for raw materials to pass through.
What are stomata?
What is carbon dioxide?
This type of tropism is used to describe a plant growing towards a stimulus.
What is a positive tropism?
Briars with extremely pointy thorns are an example of this kind of protection.
What is mechanical?
These parts of a flower are usually very colorful, which is useful in attracting pollinators.
What are petals?
This is the pigment that captures the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
What is chlorophyll?
This is the organelle in which cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
This type of tropism describes a plant growing away from a stimulus.
What is a negative stimulus?
This term means to hide or disguise the presence of an object, person, or animal.
What is camouflage?
