Part of a Plant
What are the three parts of a plant?
Leaf, stem, roots
What is water's role in photosynthesis?
It is used to create sugar and oxygen.
What gas do plants take in for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
Why is sunlight important for plants?
It provides energy for photosynthesis.
What is hydroponics?
A method of growing plants without soil.
How do the roots help the plant?
They anchor the plant, absorb water, and collect nutrients.
Why is water considered matter?
It has mass and takes up space.
Why is air considered matter?
It has mass and takes up space.
How does sunlight assist photosynthesis?
It gives energy to the plant and starts photosynthesis.
How do plants grow in aquaponics?
In water with fish providing nutrients.
What can be absorbed through leaves?
Matter needed for growth (like carbon dioxide).
Which organ of the plant absorbs water?
How does carbon dioxide enter the plant?
Through openings in the leaves.
What do plants create from sunlight?
Oxygen and glucose
What is the difference between hydroponics and aquaponics?
Aquaponics includes fish in the system.
What ingredient is essential for photosynthesis?
Sunlight
What happens to a plant's weight when it absorbs water?
It increases.
What is created during photosynthesis?
Oxygen and glucose.
What is the process called when plants turn sunlight into energy?
Photosynthesis.
What do plants absorb to stay healthy and to give them energy?
Nutrients
What does the stem do for the plant?
It transports water and nutrients to the leaves.
What is the importance of water for plant growth?
Water is essential for photosynthesis and nutrient transport.
How do plants use oxygen?
They don't! Animals use it for survival; it exits the leaves into the air.
How does sunlight affect plant weight?
It helps the plant grow larger, contributing to weight gain.
What nutrients do plants need to grow?
Essential minerals like potassium.
