This is where oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave the leaf...
Stomata
Describe Germination
GERMINATION: When seeds reach soil that has the right conditions for their survival, they FORM ROOTS and GERMINATE
This is a mixture of xylem sap, carbohydrates and water...
Phloem sap
These absorb water and minerals...
Root hairs
These transport both types of sap around the plant...
Vessels
Describe Pollination
POLLINATION: Pollen from one plant is transported to another plant. It can be carried by WIND or by INSECTS
True or False: Most plant cells form tissues and have specialised organs to carry out different vital functions
TRUE!
What are the two types of reproduction in plants?
Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction
Describe Fertilisation
FERTILISATION: The male reproductive cells in the pollen fuse with the FEMALE reproductive cells in the ovule
Are SPORES related to nutrition or reproduction?
Reproduction- Mosses and ferns produce spores, which grow into plants when they fall on moist, damp earth
Put the process of plant sexual reproduction in order: Fertilisation, Seed Dispersal, Pollination, Seed and Fruit Formation, Germination
1. Pollination 2. Fertilisation 3. Seed and Fruit Formation 4. Seed Dispersal 5. Germination
Is an OVULE related to nutrition or reproduction?
Reproduction- ovules are the female reproductive cells produced by the pistil
Do plants have a locomotor system?
NO! They DON'T HAVE a locomotor system
True or False: The leaves hold up the rest of the plant
FALSE! The STEM holds up the rest of the plant
Explain how different plants use a STOLON, a BULB and SPORES in asexual reproduction.
1- roots grow from the stolon to make a new plant 2- new stem grows from a bulb 3- mosses and ferns release spores which grow a new plant on moist soil
Are ROOT HAIRS related to nutrition or reproduction?
Nutrition- Root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil
True or False: Plants respire when they absorb carbon dioxide
FALSE! When plants absorb carbon dioxide, this is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Plants RESPIRE when they produce OXYGEN
Is a BULB related to nutrition or reproduction?
Reproduction- Bulbs are part of asexual reproduction, plants with bulbs grow new stems in the spring
Is CHLOROPHYLL related to nutrition or reproduction?
Nutrition- Chlorophyll is a green substance which absorbs the Sun's energy, which is used for photosynthesis
Are STOMATA related to nutrition or reproduction?
Nutrition- Stomata are small openings on the leaf that open and close and join the plant to the external environment
Explain sexual reproduction in plants.
Male and female reproductive cells are needed for sexual reproduction. These cells fuse to become a seed, it makes a new plant when its dispersed and germinated
Are STEM VESSELS related to nutrition or reproduction?
Nutrition- Stem Vessels transport nutrients around the plant
Are STAMENS related to nutrition or reproduction?
Reproduction- Stamens produce the male reproductive cells in the form of pollen
True or False: At the end of the roots there are tiny root hairs
TRUE!
