The Plant Kingdom 1
What are the TWO main ways to classify plants?
Classifying by Structure
Classifying by Seeds
What is the main thing that Roots do?
take up water and nutrients from the ground
When does Photosynthesis begin?
As soon as sunlight hits the leaf
Carbon Dioxide
A very common gas in the air
Roots
They take up water and nutrients from the ground
Which of the following plants has SEEDS?
1) A fern
2) A Horsetail Plant
3) A Rose
4) An Apple Tree
An Apple Tree
What are the two main type of root?
Fibrous and Taproot
1) Lightbulbs
2) Clothing
3) Toys
4) Medicine
Lightbulbs
Fibrous Roots
Roots that spread out into the soil
Photosynthesis
the process where energy from the sun is turned into food
How do we classify plants by Structure?
Look at the shape of the leaves, the kinds of stems and the shapes of the root.
How are woody and nonwoody stems similar?
They both move food, water and nutrients throughout the plant.
What TWO things combine to form plant sugars and food?
Stomata
Spore
A cell in a seedless plant that can grow into a new plant
How are SEEDS and SPORES similar?
Both help plants to reproduce
What are the two types of Stem?
Woody Stem (strong)
Nonwoody Stem (soft and bendy)
What did Jan van Helmont believe following his experiment?
Most of the material that plants need to grow comes from water
Root hairs
Thin cells that look like thread
The Stem
this moves food water and nutrients through the plant
Describe the difference between Fibrous Root and Taproot
Fibrous roots have many ends that spread into the soil
Taproot is one large root (like a Carrot)
What is the process called when water ESCAPES from a plant through tiny holes (Stomata)
Transpiration
Transpiration
the process where the stomata stays open and water ESCAPES through it
Respiration
The process where energy stored inside sugars is released
