Plant Structures
This is the reproductive structure of a flowering plant.
What is a flower?
These are the colorful parts of the flower that attract pollenators.
What are petals?
These are the two main types of plants.
What are vascular and nonvascular?
This is the process that green plants perform to create their own food.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the process through which flowering plants deliver pollen to the stigma.
What is pollenation?
This is the structure that holds the plant in the soil. It is also responsible for drawing water and nutrients from the soil.
What are the roots?
This the the name for the female reproductive structure of the flower.
What is the pistil/carpel?
This type of plant has specialized structures that deliver water, nutrients, and food to different parts of the plant.
What is a vascular plant?
This is the source of energy in the photosynthesis equation.
What is sunlight?
These are the ways that pollen gets delivered from flower to flower. It can be passed along by wind, water, or animals.
What are pollenators?
These are the main structures where photosynthesis happens.
What are leaves?
This the the name for the male reproductive structure of the flower.
What is the stamen?
This type of plant absorbs water and nutrients directly into its leaves.
What is a nonvascular plant?
These are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
CO2 and H2O
This is the sticky sweet substance produced in flowers to attract pollenators.
What is nectar?
This is responsible for the green color in plants that do photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
This is the part of the stamen that produces pollen.
What is the anther?
This vascular tissue delivers water up from the roots. Xylem
Phloem
What is the xylem?
These are the products in the photosynthesis equation.
What are oxygen and glucose/sugar?
O2 and C6H12O6
These are the 2 cells that must meet in order for a plant to create a seed.
What are pollen and ovule?
These holes in the leaves are responsible for letting air in and out of the leaves. They are sometimes called the "nostrils" of the plant.
What are stomata?
This is the part of the pistil that contains the ovules.
What is the ovary?
This process is responsible for pulling water up from the roots against gravity.
What is capillary action?
In an ecosystem, this is the name for all plants that create their own food.
What are producers?
Name a specific plant that spreads its seeds using wind.
