When water molecules move through a membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What is osmosis.

This male reproductive structure lands on the stigma and starts the pollination process.
What is the pollen.
100
Vegetative reproduction occurs WITHOUT this.
What is seeds.

A cactus reduces water loss in the desert by having this adaptation.
What is spine-like leaves. Will also accept needle-like leaves.

Diffusion occurs passively, meaning it occurs without energy. However, when molecules require energy to cross a membrane we call this...
What is active transport.
200
This is the main process that draws water up from a plant's roots. This is also why more than 90% of the water a plant takes in is lost through the leaves.
What is transpiration.
200
These are the stages of the life cycle of a seed plant.
What is seed-->seedling-->adult plant.
200
Strawberries reproduce by growing long stems that grow along the surface of the soil. These are called.
What is runners.
200
These are the 4 things plants need to survive.
What is light, water, nutrients, space.
200
This is how we know when a plant is an adult or is mature, in other words, it's no longer a seedling.
What is flowers and cones (or reproductive structures).
300
Generally, cellular respiration can be considered the opposite of photosynthesis.
The cellular respiration equation is:
_______ + _______ --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
What are the 2 missing ingredients?
What is sugar and oxygen.
300
Name the 3 parts of a seed.
What is the embryo, seed coat, and stored food.
300
Rhizomes and runners grow from stems, as a method of vegetative reproduction.
Name 3 other methods of vegetative reproduction.
What is suckers, bulbs, tubers, corms, grafting, cutting.
300
This root system allows plants to retrieve water closer to the surface of the soil, especially after a rainfall. An example would be grass.
What is a fibrous root system.
300
Generally, plants in the world are structurally all the same. Because they all have 3 things.
What is leaves, roots, and at least one stem.
400
This enters INTO the leaf through the stomata (tiny pores underneath the leaf) for photosynthesis to occur.
What is carbon dioxide.
400
When this female structure is fertilized by pollen it grows into a seed.
What is an ovule.
400
These are small pieces of a plant that usually have a part of the stem and a few leaves. You can stick it in soil and roots will grow from them.
What is a cutting.
400
This structural adaptation allows plants to attract pollinators, such as bees.
What is a flower.
400
The specific name for the sugar that is produced from photosynthesis is called this.
What is glucose.
500
The process by which water travels through tiny tubes in the roots and stems, by "sticking" to one another and to the sides of the tubes.
What is capillary action.
500
When the stamen's anther bursts, it releases pollen. When the pollen lands on the stigma it creates a pollen tube that travels down this long structure of the pistil.
What is the style.
500
The offspring of vegetative reproduction are all genetically ________ to the parent plant. This is not the case in reproduction with seeds.
What is identical/similar.
500
These are the 5 nutrients for plants we covered in class using an acronym. :)
What is nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium.
500
This is the reason why cross-pollination is better than just pollination.
