  • Where in the plant does photosynthesis take place?
    Leaves
  • What are the names of the tiny pores in leaves and what gas do they absorb?
    Stomata; carbon dioxide
  • The last step of pollination is when the fertilized ovule develops into a _______.
    Seed
  • What gas is being released from the plant in number 4?
    Oxygen
  • Name the 4 parts of the pistil and what is the function of each one.
    Stigma- what the pollen sticks to; Style- tube the pollen travels down; Ovary- contains female sex cells; Ovules- female sex cells
  • Explain sexual reproduction in plants.
    When male and female sex cells join together (pollination/fertilization).
  • Name the male and female parts of the plant (and the sex cells of each).
    Male: Stamen (pollen); Female: Pistil (ovules)
  • What are the names of the tubes that transport glucose around the plant at the end of photosynthesis?
    Phloem
  • What are the three ways pollination happens?
    Bees, wind, and small birds
  • Why can't plants perform photosynthesis at night?
    They don't have solar energy.
  • What is the name of the green substance in leaves and what does it absorb?
    Chlorophyll; solar energy
  • What two things do roots absorb from the soil in photosynthesis?
    Water and minerals
  • Which 2 processes happen in plants during the day? Which one happens at night?
    Day- photosynthesis and respiration; Night- respiration
  • What happens in plant respiration during the day?
    Take in carbon dioxide and some oxygen (also release the oxygen they don't need.
  • Name two of the four reasons photosynthesis is important.
    Food, oxygen, global warming, and habitats for animals
  • What are the two products of photosynthesis?
    Oxygen and glucose
  • The xylem is similar to the _____ in the human body.
    Veins
  • Name what 4 things are needed in photosynthesis.
    Water, minerals, carbon dioxide, and solar energy
  • Explain asexual reproduction.
    Fertilization does not take place.
  • How do non-flowering plants produce instead of seeds?
    Spores
  • Name 3 parts of the flower shown (and the number they are)!
    1- stigma; 2- style; 3- ovary; 4- ovules; 5- pistil; 6- anther; 7- filament; 8- stamen; 9- petals; 10- base; 11- sepal
  • Name the process by which plants make their own food.
    Photosynthesis
  • What are the three types of flowering plants?
    Stolons, rhizomes, and tubers
  • What happens with plant respiration at night?
    Take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
