Banana
the male part of the flower
stigma
the function of this plant part is to transport, support and store food
STEM
The MAIN process that draws water up from a plants roots is
transpiration
Carbon dioxide and water are used by the leaves in the process called
photosynthesis
This stage in the life cycle of a plant has three main parts (the embryo, stored food and a seed coat. The embryo uses this stored food to survive until it begins to photosynthesize and produce its own food.
seed
________________ are responsible for carrying the pollen to the stigma of the flowers
pollinators
Absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Support and anchor the plant so it can be relocated easily.
They store food to help the plant survive.
the function of roots
This plant part produces food, takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen and water enters and leaves through the stoma/stomata
Leaves
the loss of water through evaporation is called
transpiration
During what process do plants release carbon dioxide and let oxygen into their cells.
cellular respiration
In this stage of the life cycle of a plant growth is very fast producing new leaves, roots, stems and their own food. Still need nutrients from the soil.
seedling
what part in a flower attracts the pollinators?
nectar
These are a plant that makes seeds are the largest group of plants in the world.
seed plants
The name of the cells inside a leaf that water enters and exits from
stoma/stomata
Water particles are attracted to each other and to the sides of the tubes in the roots and stems. This attraction causes water particles to ¨stick” together and move up inside the plant, moving against gravity. What process is this?
Capillary action
Particles move from an area of HIGH concentration to LOW concentration in what process?
diffusion
when it produces reproductive structures (flower or cone) a plant is at what stage?
adult
Reproduction of plants that doesn’t involve seeds is called
vegetative reproduction
has many smaller roots coming out from it like branches from a tree. They travel deeper into the soil.
taproots
seeds contain an ______________ that will form a new plant
embryo
Water from the soil enters root cells by a process called
osmosis
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane which only allows WATER particles to pass through is...
osmosis
the female part of the flower
ovary or ovules
This is the type of vegetative reproduction that long stems that grow along the surface of the soil.
runners
a shallow system of smaller sized roots that can quickly soak up moisture.
fibrous roots
both of these have male and female parts for reproduction
cones & flowers
Photosynthesis takes place in structures inside the leaves called
chloroplasts
the stages that a living thing passes through to go from one generation to the next is called...
life cycle
This occurs when pollen is transferred to the stigma.
pollination
This type of vegetative reproduction has short and thickened and grow beneath the soil.
tubers
This type of vegetative reproduction has fleshy underground stems
rhizomes
This type of vegetative reproduction has new plants that form on the roots.
suckers
small pieces of a plant (usually a stem and a few leaves) that are replanted to form a new plant are called...
cuttings
attaching part of one plant onto another plant to form a whole new plant is called
grafting
Plants need different amounts of 4 things, what are they?
light
water
space
nutrients
How does a cactus protect the water that it has stored in its stem?
it has spikes so animals won't eat it and try to drink the water
