photosynthesis
What is glucose?
Sugar
What is Dormancy
When a plant delays germanations until conditions are right
What is Tropism?
How plants respond to their environment, by growing/moving stems, roots, or leaves towards or away from a stimulus.
What adaptation prevents a plant from being eaten?
thorns
Characteristics of Vascular
(Get at least 2 right to get the question right)
Big, tall plants
Roots, stems, and leaves
Nutrience moves through xylem and phloem
Trees bushes and grasses
What are Chloroplasts?
Special cells that use sunlight to combine water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and release oxygen through the stomata.
What do day temperatures prompt?
Photosynthesis
What is Hydrotropism
A plant grows in response to water (roots)
What parts of some plants can be poisonous when eaten?
Fruits and leaves
What are some characteristics of non-vascular plants
(get at least 2 right to get answer correct)
Small, short plants
no roots, stems, or leaves
nutrients move from cell to cell
mosses
What is photosynthesis?
The process that occurs in the leaves of plants. This process makes sugar which is also known as glucose.
What do night temperatures prompt?
Cellular respiration
What is Thigmotropism
A plant grows in response to touch
What is the ability to close leaves when touched?
Thigmotropism
Characteristics of seeds
(get at least 2 right to get answer correct)
Larger that spores
Dispersed by water, wind, or animals
Seed coat protects seed from drying out
can be protected by a fruit
What is xylem
'Nature's straws' They bring water from roots to leaves
What is germination?
The beginning of plant growth when roots begin to grow down; sunlight not required to germinate
What is Phototropism?
A plant grows in response to light.
What do stems do?
Supports the plant and holds leaves up to the light
characteristics of spores
(get at least 2 right to get answer correct)
smaller than seeds
dispersed by wind or 'thrown' by plant
Almost all flowerless plants like mosses and ferns.
What are phloem?
'Nature's elevators' They bring food down from leaves
What is development
When plant grows and develops (always when warm like in spring and summer)
What is Gravitropism?
A plant grows or moves in response to gravity.
In what 3 ways can seeds be dispersed?
By wind, water, or animals
Plant development
Process of seed growing into Mature plant
