Plant Parts and Jobs
This plant part anchors the plant and takes in water from the soil.
What are roots?
Leaves are often wide and flat for this reason.
What is to collect more sunlight?
These two parts work together to move water from the ground to the leaves.
What are roots and stems?
These plants make seeds in cones instead of flowers.
What are conifers?
This process moves water through a plant.
What is transport?
This part of the plant usually makes food using sunlight.
What are leaves?
Roots grow underground mainly to do this job.
What is absorbing water and nutrients?
This is an example of systems working together: roots absorb water, stems move it, and leaves do THIS with it.
What is make food?
Pine trees are an example of this type of plant.
What is a conifer?
These tubes carry water and food through a plant.
What are xylem and phloem?
This plant structure holds the plant upright and connects roots to leaves.
What is the stem?
Woody stems help plants by doing this.
What is providing strong support?
If one plant system stops working, this usually happens to the plant.
What is it may not survive?
Conifers usually have this type of leaf.
What are needles?
This plant part contains veins that help move materials.
What is the leaf?
This plant part often helps attract pollinators and is involved in making seeds.
What is the flower?
Needle-shaped leaves on conifers help the plant do this in cold environments.
What is reduce water loss?
This system includes roots, stems, and leaves working as one.
What is the plant transport system? (or plant system)
This type of stem is hard, thick, and not green.
What is a woody stem?
Water leaving the leaves through tiny openings is part of this process.
What is transpiration?
This plant structure forms after pollination and can help protect seeds.
What is the fruit?
A deep taproot helps a plant survive by doing what?
What is reaching water deep in the soil?
This idea explains how plant parts depend on each other to survive.
What is systems working together? (or interdependence)
Plants with flexible, green stems usually have this type of stem.
What is a soft stem?
This process allows plants to make their own food using sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
