|
What is the function (job) of the STEM?
|
- to provide support for the plant
-to move water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant |
|
What is the function of FLOWERS?
|
Where plants make seeds.
or part of plant where reproduction takes place. |
|
What is the function of LEAVES?
|
Absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide so the plant can make its own food.
|
|
Plants can be divided into what 2 groups?
|
- Plants that produce SEEDS
- Plants that produce SPORES |
|
What is photosynthesis?
|
Process that plants use to make their own food.
|
|
What part of the plant does photosynthesis take place?
|
leaves
|
|
Plants' food making process is called
|
photosynthesis
|
|
Green material in plants that is used during photosynthesis
|

|
|
What 4 elements mix during Photosynthesis?
|
Water, nutrients, carbon dioxide and sunlight
|
|
What is produced during photosynthesis?
|
Sugar and oxygen
|
|
What is the period of suspended life process brought on by changes in the environment (plants "rest"...causing them to lose their leaves during the winter)

The colors attract insects and protect the stamen and pistil.
|
|
What is the function of the STAMEN?
|
Produces pollen
|
|
What is the function of the PISTIL?
|
Pollen sticks to the pistil and is sent inside of the pistil where it goes to the ovary
|
|
What is the place in the plant where the pollen fertilizes the ovule (egg)?
|
Ovary
|
|

|
Ovule
|
|
What produces new plants when scattered on the soil?
|
Seeds
|
|
What is part of the reproductive process for flowering plants, when pollen is transferred from the stamen to the pistil?
|
Pollination
|
|
How can plants be pollinated?
|
By wind, insects, or birds that land onthe flowers and transport the pollen.
|
|
What are 2 examples of plants that reproduce with spores?
|
Ferns and mosses
|
|
How do plants with spores reproduce?
|
Spores are produced on the plant. When the spores are scattered on soil, they produce new plants.
|
|
What type of plant does NOT have flowers or seeds?
|
Spores (ferns and mosses)
