Plant Parts
What is the male part of a flower?
The Stamen
What is pollination?
Pollen moving from the stamen to the pistil
A life cycle is...
a series of stages all living things go through.
The bright colored part that attracts pollinators.
the petals
What is a healthy diet for the digestive system?
Starchy foods, vegetables and fruit should make up the bulk of meals. All of those contain the most fibre, which is an important part of a healthy diet.
What are scientific adaptations?
Adaptation is defined as the process where a species or an organism gradually becomes better acclimated to its environment.
What is the female part of a flower?
The Pistil
What are the three ways a plant can be pollinated?
Wind, water, and pollinators.
Seed dispersal is...
the transport of seeds away from the parent plant
Created when pollen reaches the top of the pistil.
the pollen tube
What is digestion?
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food compounds into small water-soluble components so that they can be absorbed into the blood plasma.
How are plants adapted in a hot and dry environment?
Plants: They have found different ways to store water, either in their roots, stems, or leaves, and use it when required:
What is one part of the pistil?
The stigma, style, and/or ovary.
What is fertilization?
When the pollen combine with the egg
Living things do this unknowingly.
pollinate flowers
The sticky part that collects pollen from the pollinators.
the stigma
Which other animals do have a similar digestive system?
Vertebrates are a group of animals that includes fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. All vertebrates have a complete digestive system with a similar design.
How are animals adapted in a hot and dry environment?
Animals like Kangaroo Rat are majorly dependent on dry seeds for their diet and don’t even require extra water intake. Their source of water is the metabolized activity of the seeds they consume.
What is the job of the sepal?
To protect the flower before it blooms
Germination happens when...
the seed sprouts under ground
Three ways living things disperse seeds are...
In their droppings, attaching to fur/fabric, and burying seeds
Provides support in the stamen
the filament
How long does it take to digest food?
Between 12 hours and 3 days...
What adaptions do predators have?
Their mechanical adaptations such as sharp teeth, claws, thick skin and faster speed and superior strength help them to take over the prey. The chemical adaptations include venom, toxins and poison to kill the prey.
Where are the seeds made?
In the ovary.
The four methods of seed dispersal are...
wind, water, living things, and explosion
The two types of seeds transported by wind.
Light/feathery and winged
Dandelion and Maple seeds
Produces the pollen
the anther
How does the digestive system work?
The system starts at the mouth. The mouth connects via a tube, called the esophagus, to the stomach. The stomach is usually an acidic environment where food is broken down into smaller molecules. These molecules then travel to the small intestine where most of the nutrients are absorbed. What remains then travels to the large intestine where water and salts are absorbed and wastes are readied for removal.
What adaptions do prey have?
Camouflage, highly developed senses, warning signals, and different defensive weapons and behaviours are all used by prey animals for survival.
