This is a chemical that is found in green plants that is essential for the photosynthesis process.
What is chlorophyll?
100
This is the process by which plants take in sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and minerals to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is the main ingredient that plants need for photosynthesis to occur.
What is light? What is sunlight?
100
Mosses
What is non-vascular?
100
name one way plant and animal cells are alike, and one way they are different.
What is plant cells have a cell wall?
What is both plant and animal cells have a nucleus?
What is some plant cells contain chloroplasts?
200
These are the "food factories" in plant cells that contain chlorophyll.
What are chloroplasts?
200
When plants lose water through photosynthesis and evaporation, this is the process by which the plant "asks" for more water to be sent up from the roots.
What is transpiration?
200
These are the 3 main ingredients that come together and react with cholophyll in the photosynthesis process.
What are light, water, and carbon dioxide?
200
Ferns
What is vascular
200
Name three functions of stems.
What is support, transport of materials, and some plants store food for the plant (such as potatoes and sugar cane)
300
These plants have small tubes that aid in the transport of food, water, and minerals.
What are vascular plants?
300
Water and minerals flow UP the plant through this material.
What is xylem?
300
Photosynthesis releases or stores energy?
What is stores energy?
300
Trees and shrubs
What is vascular?
300
explain why leaves change color in the fall.
What is as the temperature falls, the plant gradually stops making chlorophyll.
400
While most plants make their own food, these plants rely on decomposing other organisms, and therefore cannot make their own food.
What are fungi?
400
This is the process by which the plant cells use oxygen to break apart the sugars, thereby releasing energy. It is also the process that humans use when they take in oxygen through their lungs.
What is respiration?
400
this is an element released during photosynthesis that animals need to survive.
What is oxygen?
400
Roses, tulips, petunias
What is vascular?
400
Tell the two largest divisions in the plant kingdom.
What is vascular and non-vascular.
500
Rather than using tubes to transport food and water, these plants absorb materials directly into their cells. Mosses are an example of these.
What are nonvascular plants?
500
Food is sent down from the leaves to the rest of the plant through this material.
What is phloem?
500
Other than oxygen, this is the main product that plants store as "food" from photosynthesis.
What are sugars?
500
Liverworts and hornworts
What is nonvascular?
500
Describe an experiment that you could determine whether light or temperature is the cause of leaves changing color in the fall.
What is you could put one plant in full sunlight and one plant in no sunlight at the same temperature. You could then put one plant in the same amount of light at different temperatures.
