Flower structure
This part of the flower produces pollen.
What is the anther?
This is the process by which pollen transfers from the anther to the stigma.
What is pollination?
This is the process by which seeds are transported from the parent plant to various locations.
What is seed dispersal?
This pigment in chloroplasts makes leaves green and absorbs sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
This nutrient is essential for chlorophyll production.
What is magnesium?
These modified leaves surround the reproductive parts of the flower.
What are petals?
These cells are involved in reproduction and join together to create a new organism.
What are gametes?
Seeds dispersed by this method often have wings or parachutes.
What is wind dispersal?
These tiny pores in leaves allow gases to diffuse in and out.
What are stomata?
A deficiency in this nutrient can cause yellowing of leaves.
What is nitrogen (nitrate)?
This female reproductive part of a flower contains the stigma, style, and ovary.
What is the carpel?
This is the process when a seed starts to grow.
What is germination?
This type of seed dispersal involves seeds being eaten and later excreted by animals.
What is animal dispersal?
This gas enters the plant through the stomata during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
This nutrient is important for root growth and flower development.
What is phosphorus?
This structure contains female germ cells and is found within the ovary.
What is an ovule?
Seeds need these three factors to germinate.
Some plants use this explosive method to disperse their seeds.
What is dispersal by "explosion"?
This is the primary product of photosynthesis that travels to all parts of the plant.
What is glucose?
Plants use these to supplement essential nutrients.
What are fertilizers?
These special leaves protect flower buds that have not yet opened.
What are sepals?
This part of the seed contains the food supply for the developing embryo.
What is the endosperm?
Name two specific methods of seed dispersal by animals.
What are being eaten and sticking to fur?
What is CO2+H2O+light energy -> C6H12O6 + O2 or carbon dioxide + water + light energy -> glucose + oxygen
Name three essential nutrients for plant growth mentioned in the presentation.
What are nitrate, phosphate, and magnesium?
