Plant Structures
The process called when plants use sunlight to make food.
Photosynthesis
How does water move from the roots to leaves in a plant?
Water is pulled up from the roots --> stem --> leaves
Which body system provides support, protection, and structure for an organism’s body?
Skeletal system
This system uses blood, pumped by the heart, to carry oxygen and nutrients through vessels.
Circulatory/cardiovascular system
The plant structure responsible for anchoring the plant and absorbing water + minerals.
Roots
What is the different between the xylem and phloem?
Xylem moves water/minerals only up
Phloem moves sugar around the plant
Which system is responsible for sending signals that help maintain homeostasis?
Nervous system
This system controls body responses and sends signals throughout the body
Nervous system
The plant part that transports water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant.
Stem
What is transpiration?
Water loss from leaves
What allows muscles and bones to work together to produce movement? (HINT: Starts with a "Te")
Tendons
This organ filters blood and removes waste to make urine.
Kidneys
This is what the female reproductive part of a flower is called.
Pistil
How do plants transport nutrients throughout their bodies?
Phloem
What is the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates have a backbone
Invertebrates do not
This system stores and releases hormones into the bloodstream.
Endocrine system
This structural feature of a leaf helps it absorb the most sunlight.
Broad, flat surface
Tiny leaf pores that regulate gas exchange and control water loss.
Stomata
Which structure of the heart allows it to effectively pump blood throughout the body?
A. Thin outer layer
B. Hollow chambers
C. Hair-like cilia
D. Rigid bones
B. Hollow chambers
This feedback mechanism helps maintain stable internal conditions by reversing changes in the body.
