Plant Parts
Water for photosynthesis is initially absorbed through this part of a plant.
What are roots?
Carbon dioxide used for photosynthesis is stored in this part of the plant.
What are chloroplasts?
Plants regulate its water balance through this "sweating" process.
What is transpiration?
This is the process by which organisms that have chloroplasts use light energy, carbon dioxide and water to make sugar.
What is photosynthesis?
The name of one of our class' celery stalks.
What is Jimbob or Richard?
What do we call the opening on the surface of leaves that allows plans to absorb carbon dioxide?
What are stomata?
Water used for photosynthesis is stored in this part of the plant.
What are chloroplasts?
This is the tube-like structure that transports water to the leaves of a plant.
What is xylem?
These are the three "ingredients" needed for photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide, water and sunlight?
This is the waxy covering on leaves that helps reduce water loss through evaporation.
What is the cuticle?
These are the specialized plant cells that controls the opening and closing of stomata.
What are guard cells?
Leaves appear green because of this.
Chloroplasts absorb red and blue color wavelengths from the sunlight, but reflect green.
Redwood trees collect water from fog through these.
What are its needles?
This is the part of the plant in which water is absorbed?
What are the roots?
What is during the day?
This is the extension of a cell near the root tip that takes in water and minerals.
What are root hairs?
True or False: All plant and animal cells photosynthesize.
What is false?
A type of desert-dwelling plant that has thick spongy leaves that store a lot of water is this.
What is cactus?
This is the part of the plant in which light energy from the sun is absorbed.
What are the leaves?
This is the vocabulary word meaning to change over many generations as different genes pass from parent to offspring.
What is evolve or evolved?
This is a tissue within a vascular plant that transports food made in the leaves to all parts of the plant.
What is phloem?
The stoma is only open when the guard cells around it are in this state.
What is hydrated?
Some plants have evolved to have this type leaves to help collect moisture from dew.
What is larger leaves, needles, fuzz or hairy leaves?
This is a type of carbohydrate (chemical compound) produced by plants as a result of photosynthesis.
What is sugar or glucose?
True or False: all plant and animal cells use aerobic cellular respiration.
What is true?
