Parts of a Plant
This part of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
What are roots?
Plants need sunlight, water, and this gas from the air to grow
What is carbon dioxide?
The green pigment that allows plants to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis is called this.
What is chlorophyll?
This type of seed dispersal occurs when seeds are carried by the wind.
What is wind dispersal?
This part of the plant is responsible for making food through photosynthesis.
What are leaves? Chlorophyll?
This process allows plants to make food using sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
This method of plant reproduction involves planting a piece of the plant's stem to grow a new plant.
What is a cutting?
Seeds that float in water and travel to new locations use this type of dispersal.
What is water dispersal?
This part of the plant supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
What is the stem?
A seed needs these three things to germinate.
What are water, warmth, and air?
(Will take 2/3)
Plants like mosses and liverworts are known as these because they do not have roots, stems, etc.
What are simple plants?
Animals help with this type of dispersal by eating fruits and excreting the seeds in a new place.
What is animal dispersal?
These tiny structures in plant leaves contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis.
What are cells?
These tiny openings on the underside of leaves help plants exchange gases.
What are stomata?
When seeds are carried away by wind, water, or animals, this process is taking place.
What is seed dispersal?
Give an example of how humans can disperse seeds.
Blowing on dandelions, dropping fruit, gardening.
These are examples of simple plants that lack true roots, stems, or leaves.
What are mosses?
(Will accept another simple plant).
These baby plants emerge from seeds after germination.
What are seedlings?
