Pollination
What is the name of the process that moves pollen from the anther of the plant's boy part to the stigma of the plant's girl part?
100
embryo
What is the baby plant inside a seed coat called?
100
On the stalk is a spore cell. From this spore cell grows a stalk. On the top of the stalk is a spore sack. Soon the spore sack breaks open, and new spores fly out. The cycle begins again.
Describe the life cycle of a spore.

Chlorophyll
This is the substance inside the chloroplast's plates that trap the sunlight to power photosynthesis. It also gives the plant its green color.
200
They carry materials and water from the roots to the leaves.
What is the job of the xylem tubes?
200
Fertilization
What do we say has just happened when the sperm cell travels down the tube on the pistil to the egg cell in a plant?
200
This is the material that the embryo eats in order to survive while it is inside the seed coat.
What is endosperm?
200
Strawberries/ Spiderplants
Name a plant that reproduces asexually...with runners...

Carbon Dioxide+Water+Sunlight-------oxygen and sugar
What is the math formulas we can use to explain photosynthesis?
300
Phloem
These tubes carry sugar away from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

It's a message carried in the DNA!
What is the reason that pollen from a red plant placed on the stigma of a plant with white petals may produce a pink baby?
300
Monocot and Dicot
What is the name for a seed that has one seed "hunk"? What is the name for a seed with two seed "hunks"?

Carrot
What is one example of a taproot plant?
400
To attract bees
Why do plants have colorful petals?
400
Monocots have parrelel leaves and fibrous roots, while dicot leaves have veins that branch out, and they usually have taproots.
What are the differences between the leaves and roots in monocot and dicot plants?
400
Different sides may have different amounts of growth hormone. or one side may be more water-filled than another.
What is a reason that a plant may be bigger on one side?
500
Starch
What is made when too much sugar is being stored in a plant?
500
A tree
What is one example of a fibrous root plant?
500
Because some genes are dominant (strong) and some are recessive (weak). Brown eyes is a dominant feature
Why will a mom with blue eyes and a dad with brown eyes probably produce a child with brown eyes?
500
Temperature and Moisture
What two conditions must be just right for seeds to germinate?
500
Gravitropism(gravity pulls), phototropism(Light pulls), and thigmotropism(touch pulls).
Describe the 3 "tropisms"?
