Characteristics of Plants
All plants are:
a. Unicellular
b. Multicellular
b. Multicellular
Which living organisms cab make their own food?
Green Plants
Which cellular structure is responsible to give shape and strength to plant cell?
Cell wall
How do roots help the land plants?
To obtain water and nutrients from soil
Why can plants grow so tall, but animals can't?
Because plant cell have a rigid cell wall to support their structures.
What are the two main characteristics of all plants?
All are autotrophs.
All are made up of many cells.
Organisms that make their own food are called as_____________
autotrophs
Which structure stores extra water in plant cell?
Vacuole
Which adaptation helps reduce water loss from plant?
Cuticle
What will happen to a plant if it is not watered for few days?
It will continue absorbing stored water from vacuole, but wilt away if water isn't given for long.
Why all plants are green?
They have green pigment chlorophyll.
Why can green plants make their own food?
Because they have chlorophyll, which can trap Sun's energy
Which structure carries out food making process?
Chloroplast
Which adaptation provide additional support to plant?
Cell wall
Which vascular tissue is responsible to transport food?
Phloem
A group of similar functioning cells form a______
Tissue
What is the food making process of plants called as?
photosynthesis
What is cell wall composed of in plant cell?
Cellulose
Which adaptation helps in transporting water across plant?
Vascular tissue, Xylem
Do you think a desert plant is likely to have shallow horizontal roots or deep roots? Explain.
Both in order to absorb all the water that is available around it.
Name seven characteristic common for all living things.
Breathe, Move, reproduce, feel, nutrition, excrete, grow
What do plants require to make their own food?
Carbon di oxide from air
Water from soil
Chlorophyll pigment
Sunlight
Name three structures that are not found in animal cell?
Cell wall
Vacuole
Chloroplast
Why plants need an adaptation for reproduction?
because there is no water to allow movement of male sperm to female egg.
So pollens are transferred by wind, animals etc.
Do you think desert plants will have a thick or thin cuticle?
Thick cuticle to prevent loss of water in extreme heat.
