Plant Structures For Growth
What plant structure typically lives underground?
What is roots; they support the plant, and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
This organ helps by pumping blood to and from the lungs, and around the rest of the body.
What is the heart.
This is the difference between lungs and gills.
What is lungs are adapted to remove oxygen from the air, while gills are adapted to remove oxygen from water.
This male structure produces pollen.
What is the stamen.
What are the two types of energy?
What are kinetic and potential energy.
These structures support plant growth by transporting water up, or nutrients and glucose out to the other structures.
What are the xylem and floem.
This internal structure allows humans and animals to move.
What is the skeleton.
This is the main difference between a vertebrate heart and a fish heart.
What is a structure that some animals use to attract a mate?
What are feathers, sounds (frogs croak), bright colors
This is the area that earthquakes commonly occur.
What is the fault line.
I will also accept epicenter.
What plant structure supports growth by taking in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide and makes food?
What is the chlorophyll.
These are the three parts of the brain.
What are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem.
Many people think bees are attracted to the bright colors of flowers. Explain why this is only partially true.
What is the difference between a petal and a sepal?
Petals protect the pistil and stamen from cold and wind, while the sepals protect the flower petals before it blooms.
These are the topmost point and bottommost point of a wave.
What are crest and trough.
What structure holds the plant up to allow it to get sunlight?
Stem
This is the part of the brain in charge of taking in stimuli and interpreting it.
What is the cerebrum.
This is the item that sutures used to be made from, which was expensive to make and often caused infections.
What is catgut.
Why do some beetles have a "horn" type structure on their heads?
This is what turns a turbine, which generates electricity.
What is steam from boiling water.
These structures allow for carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit leaves.
What is the stomata.
This is the external structure used for protection as well as for capturing and tearing apart food.
What is claws.
This is a type of protection for animals that are NOT vertebrates.
What is an exoskeleton.
Explain how new plants are formed.
What is pollen is produced in the stamen and is either blown by wind or carried by an insect to another location to be dropped in the pistil, pollenating the flower.
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Magma is located in a chamber under the earth's surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface it becomes lava.
