Term
1. What is plant anatomy?
Definition
The study of the parts of plants and their jobs.\
Term
2. What are the non-reproductive parts of a plant?
Definition
"The roots, stem and leaves."
Term
3. What do roots do.
Definition
The roots anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and minerals from the soil>
Term
4. What do stems do?
Definition
Stems provide support and allow the movement of water and nutrients.
Term
5. In what part of the plant is food made?
Definition
Food is made in the leaves.
Term
6. What part of the plant is responsible for reproduction?
Definition
The flower is responsible for reproduction.
Term
7. Describe the part of the flower known as the sepal
Definition
The sepal is the leaf-life part of a flower that protect the flower bud and is usually green.
Term
8. What do the petals of a flower do?
Definition
The petals attract insects and animals for pollination.
Term
9. Describe the part of the flower called the stamen
Definition
The stamen is the male part of a flower that contains pollen.
Term
10. Describe the part of the flower called the pistil.
Definition
The pistil is the female part of the flower
Term
11. Describe the part of a flower called the stigma.
Definition
The stigma is on the top of the pistil and is stickky to collect pollen.
Term
12. Describe the part of a flower called the ovary.
Definition
"The ovary is on the bottom of the pistil and when fertizlized, can develop into embryos and form seeds."
Term
13. Do all plants form seeds?
Definition
"No, some make spores instead of seeds."
Term
14. What is a spore?
Definition
A spore is a tiny cell that can grow into a plant.
Term
15. What is pollination?
Definition
Pollination involves the transfer of polen from the stamen to the stigma of the pistil where it grows a tube to the ovary. The sperm from the pollen grain travels to the bottom part of the ovary and fertilization is complete.
Term
16. Do all plants reproduce through pollination?
Definition
No some plants reporduce in other ways such as spores.
Term
17. What are two types of plants that reproduce with spores?
Definition
Mosses and ferns.
Term
18. How do we classify plants?
Definition
The plant kingdom can be devided into two general groups. We classify plants by how they reroduce.
Term
19. What are the two groups that the plant kingdom is devided into.
Definition
Plants that reproduce with seeds and plants that reproduce with spores.
Term
20.  How can seeds be further classified?
Definition
Seed producing plants can be further classified as either those that produce seed form cones and those that produce seeds from flowers
Term
21. How do plants make their own food.
Definition
"From water, carbon dioxide and nutrients that they take in through a process known as photosynthesis."
Term
22. What is the main site of photosynthesis?
Definition
the leaf
Term
23. How do leaves make food?
Definition
Leaves make food using the light from the sun. The leaves trap energy in a pigment called chlorophyll.
Term
24. What makes leaves green?
Definition
A pigment called chlorophyll
Term
25. What is glucose?
Definition
"Glucose is the sugar that is formed from the raw materials (water, carbon dioxide, nutrient) used by the palnts and is transported throughout the plant."
Term
26. Where is the extra glucose stored?
Definition
the roots
Term
27.  What is given off during the process of photosynthesis?
Definition
Oxygen
Term
28. What is dormancy?
Definition
A period of suspended life process brought on by changes in the environment. It is the resting state of the plant.
Term
29. What may happen during dormancy?
Definition
Some plants loose their leaves.
Term
30.  Why do humans need plants that use photosynthesis?
Definition
Because the process of photosynthesis makes the oxygen we need.
Term
31. Why are mosses and ferns different from an oak tree?
Definition
31. Oak trees reproduce with seeds. The other two reproduce with spores.
Term
32. When one plant pollinates the ovule of another plant, what is the process is called?
Definition
Cross pollination
Term
33. Pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil during what process?
Definition
33. Pollination
Term
34. Photosynthesis makes a form of food for the plant called what?
Definition
34. Glucose
Term
35. The time it takes for a plant to complete it’s life cycle is called what?
Definition
35. It’s growing season
Term
36. What does chlorophyll do in a plant?
Definition
36. It uses the energy from the sunlight in photosynthesis. It traps and stores this energy in order to make glucose.
Term
37. What raw materials are used to start photosynthesis?
Definition
37. Carbon dioxide and water. Nutrients are also used.
Term
38. Plants with seeds reproduce through what process?
Definition
38. Pollination
Term
39. Which two parts give the plant support?
Definition
39. Roots and stems
Term
40. What are the four basic parts of a flowering plant?
Definition
"40. Roots, stem, leaves, and flower"
Term
41. What are the female parts of a plant?
Definition
41. Pistil and ovary
Term
42. What are the male parts of a plant?
Definition
42. Stamen and pollen
Term
43. What does photosynthesis make?
Definition
43. Glucose and oxygen
Term
44. What is an evergreen?
Definition
