Plant Growth
Part of the plant that develops first.
The roots.
List all 4 parts of the plant.
Roots, Stem, Leaves, & Flower.
The process called when plants make their own food.
Photosynthesis.
Oxygen AND glucose.
Only found in plants. Structure that serves as the outer barrier of the plant cell.
The cell wall.
Part of the plant that shows signs and symptoms of a plants health.
The leaves.
The roots function. (The 2 main functions.)
They anchor the plant AND absorb nutrients and water from the soil.
The part of the vascular system that carries nutrients/food through the plant.
The phloem.
3 things plants need to perform photosynthesis.
Sunlight, water, & carbon dioxide.
Organelles found only in plants. They are responsible for photosynthesis. They also contain green chlorophyll (pigments) that gives plants their green color.
Chloroplasts.
The process by which seeds grows into a seedling.
Germination.
The stems function.
To support the flower and leaves AND contains the vascular system.
The part of the vascular system that carries water through the plant.
The xylem.
Any edible portion of a plant is also known as what?
A vegetable.
Organelle that serves as a storage compartment for the cell. It encloses water and other material. It also stores nutrients and enzymes needed by the cells and can store waste material given off by the cell.
Vacuole.
The four environmental factors that influence or can determine the rate (speed/likelihood) of germination.
Temperature, Water, Oxygen, & Light.
The leaves function.
To perform photosynthesis.
The process that plants go through when turning their food into energy.
Cellular respiration.
The mature ovary of a flowering plant is also known as what?
The fruit.
Organelles that receives information from the nucleus to make proteins. The main function is to make protein chains to become available to the cell.
Ribosomes.
Process by which plants produce offspring through the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in the formation of seeds.
Pollination.
The flower function.
The site of sexual reproduction AND attracts pollinators.
What direction does the stem carry water and what direction does the stem carry nutrients/food?
The stem carries water ONLY up but it carries nutrients/food BOTH up and down.
Meaning behind a plant having a "vegetative reproductive" structure.
Vegetative reproduction refers to non-sexual, asexual structures like stems, roots, or leaves that can produce new, genetically identical plants. (Taking a part of the plant, NOT a seed, and creating a new plant.)
Location of a cell that cellular respiration occurs.
The mitochondria.
