How does a plant adapt it's color?
What is plants will adapt color to either blend into their environment or attract pollinators.
100
What is the part of the plant that holds the plant in place?
What is the roots
100
Which biome has four seasons, has layers of leaves and twigs, and is the biome where we live.
What is Deciduous Forests
100
How might a plant adapt in a desert?
What is * Some plants store water in their leaves and stems (succulents). * Some plants don’t have any leaves, or their leaves are very small that only grow when it rains. This helps the plant not lose water. * Long roots reach deep into the ground to absorb groundwater, or spread out wide to absorb as much water as it can while it is raining. * Some plants have waxy coatings on their stems and leaves to help reduce water loss. * Spines on plants keep animals from eating plants for water. * Some plants have hair to help shade the plant.

An area where plants live is called a...
What is a biome
200
How do roots adapt?
What is long roots or short roots to adsorb nutrients.
200
The part of the plant that attracts pollinators
What is the flower
200
Which biome is hot and humid, gets a lot of rain, and has many layers in the woods?
What is the tropical rainforest
200
How might a plant adapt to survive in a deciduous forest?
What is Wildflowers grow in the spring before the leaves shade the forest floor. * Deciduous trees (like maple and oak trees) have broad, thin leaves that absorb a lot of sunlight to make food. * Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the winter to prevent water loss and keeps branches from breaking from the snow. * Trees have thick bark to protect against cold winters.

True or False: Plants in any biome have special adaptations that make it possible for them to exist in that area
What is True
300
Why would a plant have thorns?
What is to protect itself from being eaten
300
What is the part of the plant that adsorbs sunlight
What is the leaves
300
Which biome has a lot of grass, experiences drought, and is often called a prairie?
What is temperate grassland
300
How would a plant adapt to survive in the Tundra?
What is * Tundra plants are small and low growing. This is due to lack of nutrients, because the roots cannot grow in the permafrost, and because being closer to the ground keeps the plants from freezing. * Plants are darker in color. This helps absorb more sunlight and heat. * Some plants are covered with hair to help them stay warmer. * Some plants grow in clumps to protect each other from the wind and cold. * Some plants have flowers that follow the sun as it moves across the sky. This keeps the sunlight in the center of the flower, helping the plant stay warm.

An adaptation is
What is physical characteristics that allow the plant to survive in an environment
400
How does a leaf adapt to the environment?
What is small leaves or little leaves to adsorb more sunlight.
400
What part of the plant holds the plant upright?
What is the stem
400
Which biome has permafrost, is cold all year long, and has little plant diversity?
What is Tundra
400
How would a plant adapt to survive in the tropical rainforest?
What is * Leaves have drip tips and waxy coatings to help water runoff of the leaves so bacteria and fungi have a hard time growing. * Prop and stilt roots help hold up plants in the shallow soil. * Some plants climb on others to reach the sunlight. * Some plants have smooth bark or waxy flowers to speed the run off of water. * Some plants live on other plants instead of in the soil. They collect water into a central reservoir and absorb the water through hairs on their leaves.

True or False Physical Characteristics are parts of plants that we can NOT see.
What is False
500
How does a plant's odor help it adapt?
What is it either attracts or repels other species.
500
What is the part of the plant that protects the seeds, and disperses the seeds.
What is the fruit
500
Which biome is hot and dry. It receives little rain, so the soil is rocky and dry.
What is the desert
500
How would a plant adapt to survive in the temperate grassland?
What is * Roots of prairie grasses grow deep into the ground to absorb water from deep underground. * Prairie grasses have narrow leaves that help prevent water evaporation. * Soft, flexible non-wood stems blow in the windy conditions, but do not break. * Many of the grasses use the wind to blow their pollen to other plants. They also use the wind to help spread their seeds.
500
What are characteristics of water plants?
What is * Underwater leaves and stems are flexible to move with the water current. * Some plants have air spaces in their stems to help hold the plant up in the water. * Some plants have leaves that float on the surface of the water, exposing themselves to the sunlight. * Some plants produce seeds that can float. * Roots are only needed to anchor the plant in the soil, not to absorb water.
