Plant and Animals
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the functions of roots | supply plants with water and dissolved minerals and absorb things through their roots |
| what are the functions of leaves | make food for the plant,captures CO2 in the air,and creates photosynthesis |
| what are the functions of stems | supports the plant body,transport materials between the shoot system and root system |
| what are the functions of flowers | help plants reproduce,used for humans in many ways |
| what do plants need to form photosynthesis (besides sunlight) what gas is released | carbon dioxide and water oxygen is released |
| what pigment is responsible for a plant's green color | chlorophyll |
| cellular respiration produces water,carbon dioxide,and what | energy |
| what cell part captures energy from the sun to make food | chloroplasts |
| where does the energy that starts the process of photosynthesis come from | sunlight |
| what is the male part of the flower | stamen |
| what is the female part of the flower | psitil |
| what part of the flower contains the ovules | ovary |
| during cellular respiration, what do plant cell use to produce energy from food | sugar |
| why is photosynthesis important | because plants are the only living organisms to produce their own food during photosynthesis |
| what is fertilization | the joining of pollen with a ovule the result is a seed |
| after fertilization,the ovule develops into what | seed |
| to be considered a food, a substance must provide what | energy |
| what are the six things plants need to grow and develop | glucose,light,water,air,suitable temp.,and minerals |
| if a plant gets light from only one direction, what is the likely direction of the shoots | toward the light |
| if a plant bends toward the light it is showing what kind of tropism | phototropism |
| roots growing toward the center of the earth are showing what kind of tropism | postitivetropism |
| if a plant is tipped on its side the shoots will most likely grow in what direction | upwards |
| why do leaves turn orange and yellow in the fall | green chlorophyll breaks down and the color pigments in the leaves are then revealed |
| why do deciduous trees shed their leaves | helps plants survive low temperature or long periods without rain |
| what is the function of fruit that surrounds seeds | to help the plant reproduce |
| why are plants green in color | chlorophyll is in it |
| what is the purpose of petals | to attract bees and reproduction |
| what is the purpose of cotyledons | they provide nutrients within a seed |
| what are sperm and eggs | sex cells |
| what is an embryo | the part of a seed that develops into a plant |
| what is a collection of specialized cells | tissue |
| what is a group of tissue that carry out a special function | organ |
| what do animals use to get from one place to another | movement |
| what is an organism that eats another organism | consumer |
| do animals have prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic | eukaryotic cells |
| do animals have a cell wall | no |
| are animals unicellular or multicellular | multicellular |
| what is a vertebrate | animals with a backbone |
| what is a invertebrate | animals with no backbone |
| what is a heterotroph | consumer |
| what is tropism | growth in response to a stimulus |
| what is phototopism | a change in direction a plant grows that is caused by light |
| what is thigmotropism | a plants growth in response to a touch |
| what is gravitropism | a plants growth in response to gravity |
| what is the formula of photosynthesis | 6CO2+6H20 suns energy C6H12O6+6O2 |
| what is the formula for cellular respiration | C6H12O6+6O2 suns energy 6CO2+6H2O+ATP |
