What part of a tree makes a substance called 'glucose', or sugar?
What is the leaves

What is the job of a stem?
What is the stem supports the flower, and brings water and food/nutrients to all parts of the plant.
100
What is the job of roots in a plant? (2 parts)
What is the roots anchor or support the plant and sock up water and minerals from the soil.
100
What are at least 2 things that a seed needs to start growing?
What is oxygen (air), water, temperature.
100
What is an adaptation?
What is when a plant or animal has to change the way they grow in order to survive.
200
What parts of a plant (name 2) receive sugar to 'eat'?
What is the trunk, roots, and branches.
200
What are sepals and why are they important?
What is sepals are leaf-like structures of a plant that protect the flower bud before it opens.
200
What is the job of leaves in a plant?
What is leaves have chlorophyll that use sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into food (photosynthesis).
200
What is a dormant seed and what does it do?
What is a dormant seed is at rest and it takes in water so the seed coat gets soft, then it starts to grow.
200
What is one way that a desert plant adapts to grow and survive in a desert?
What is desert plants learn to grow very long roots that go deep to find as much water as possible.
300
What do a plant's leaves absorb from the air?
What is carbon dioxide.
300
What are the three parts of the pistil (female part of a flower) and why are they important?
What is the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is sticky can catches pollen, the style is where pollen passes through, the ovary becomes the new fruit.
300
What is the job of a flower? (2 parts)
What is a flower is needed for reproduction, it is colorful and smells nice to attract insects.
300
What happens after a dormant seed takes in water, has oxygen, and is the right temperature?
What is the seed starts to germinate and the root pushes through the seed coat.
300
What is special about the stem of a cactus?
What is the stem is very thick and spongy, which allows it to store and hide water.
400
What substance (name one or more) is passed into the air through openings in a plant's leaves?
What is oxygen, water, and waste products.
400
What are the 2 main parts of the stamen, male part of the flower and why are they important?
What is the anther and filament. They are important because the anther produces pollen and the filament supports the anther.
400
What does the pistil make and what does the stamen make? Which one is female and male?
What is the pistil is female and it makes egg cells, the stamen is male and makes pollen.
400
What are (at least 2) parts of the 3rd step of the cycle, called 'Germinating Seed'?
What is (1) the top part of the root grows up to become the stem, (2) the stem carries the seed coat, (3) the seed coat falls off, (4) the leaves provide food for the plant, (5) two small leaves start to grow.
400
What is one way plants survive when they compete with nature, such as wind, cold, and hot temperatures?
What is plants get more sunlight by growing big leaves, or they have long stems to reach above all other plants.
500
What are (at least 2) important parts of photosynthesis?
What is photosynthesis (1) uses sunlight to change carbon dioxide into glucose, (2) it makes food for plants, (3) it helps plants grow and survive.
500
What is fertilization and where does it take place in a flower?
What is when an egg cell and sperm cell combine inside the ovary of the flower.
500
What are some ways that pollen is moved/transferred from the stamen (male) to the pistil (female)?
What is animals such as bats, bees, butterflies, birds, and the wind.
500
How does the 4th step, "Seedling" grow?
What is the seedling grows more leaves that trap energy from the sun to make sugar, they use the energy and sugar to grow.
500
Why are some plants called "climbers?"
What is climbers learned to climb on top of each other by forming roots above the ground, these are aerial roots. They can attach themselves to any surface they climb on.
