Three main structures in most plants: | Roots, stems, and leaves |
This is one way to classify plants | Roots, stems, and leaves |
Mosses and Wort plants move water from the ground into their cells through this | Soil |
This tree grows from seeds | Apple |
These plants can take water and nutrients directly from from the soil | Mosses |
Plants need sunlight, water, and this to stay alive | carbon dioxide |
Plants need carbon dixode and this to make their own food | Water |
They keep plants firmly in the soil, and some store food. What are they? | Roots |
Thin cells that look like thread and take in the water and nutrients that plants need | Root hairs |
Plants can also be classified by: | Seeds |
Grows above ground and keeps the plant upright so it doesn't fall over | Stems |
Carries food, water and nutrients throughout the roots and leaves | Stems |
They create new plants | Seeds and spores |
Takes place in the leaves of the plants and uses energy from sunlight to make food from water and carbon dioxide | Photosynthesis |
Plants return this to the environment during photosynthesis | oxygen |
This is the third step in the photosynthesis process where light energy is stored | Chlorophyll |
Tiny holes on the bottom of leaves where carbon dioxide can enter | Stomata |
A thin covering that keeps water in the leaves and protects the leaves the way skin protects our body | Epidermis |
The process where energy that is stored inside the sugars (or plant food that is made during photosynthesis) is released | Respiration |
Water escapes (or exits) a plant leaf during this process | Transpiration |
Seedless plants such as Ferns and mosses use these to make new plants | Spores |
