Bragg Plants
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Photosynthesis | Process by which plants make their own food |
Transpiration | Process by which water evaporates from the surface of a leaf through microscopic pores known as stomata |
Cellular Respiration | Process by which cells produce the energy needed to survive |
Dormancy | Period of time when the growth or activity of a plant or seed stops due to changes in temperature or amount of water |
Tropism | Plants can respond by moving their stems, roots, or leaves toward or away from a stimulus |
Reactants of Photosynthesis | Sunlight (Energy) + Carbon Dioxide + Water |
Products of Photosynthesis | Oxygen + Glucose |
Reactants of Cellular Respiration | Oxygen + Glucose |
Products of Cellular Respiration | Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP (Energy) |
Life Cycle of a Flower | Seed --> Sprout --> Bud --> Flower |
Four main parts of a flower | Roots, Stem, Leaf, Flower |
Fibrous Root System | All roots are the same size |
Tap Root System | Primary root grows longer and thicker than secondary roots |
2 Primary Functions of Roots | Absorb water and nutrients AND Anchors plant |
9 Parts of Flower Reproduction | Petals, Sepal, Stamen, Anthers, Filaments, Pistil, Stigma, Style, Ovary |
Female Parts of the Flower | Pistil: Stigma, Style, Ovary |
Male Parts of the Flower | Stamen: Anther, Filament |
Petals | Colorful, attract pollinators |
Sepals | Special leaves that form a ring around the petal/protect the flower while it's a bud |
Stamen | Male part of the flower |
Anthers | Tip of stamen, make pollen |
Filaments | Hold up the anthers |
Pistil | Female part of the flower |
Stigma | Sticky part of the pistil, where pollen lands and fertilization begins |
Style | Long stalk that supports the stigma, pollen travels through the tube to reach the ovary |
Ovary | Part that holds the seeds |
Chloroplast | Organelle that converts energy to food for the cell, where photosynthesis occurs |
Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs |
Stomata | Opening in a leaf or stem of a plant that enables the gas exchange of CO2 and O2 |
Chlorophyll | Pigments that traps light energy and makes plant green |
2 reasons photosynthesis is important to humans | 1. produces oxygen 2. provides energy for most living things |
Vascular Plants | Have a well-developed system for transporting H2O and food |
Nonvascular Plants | Do not have a well-developed system for transporting H2O and food |
Xylem | transports H2O and minerals from roots to rest of plant |
Phloem | transports food from leaves to rest of plant |
Angiosperms | flowering plants |
Gymnosperms | cone bearing plants |
Monocots | one food storage area |
Dicots | two food storage areas |
Geotropism | response to gravity, roots grow in direction of gravity, stems grow in the opposite direction |
Phototropism | response to light |
Hydrotropism | response to water sources. Roots will follow water |
Thigmotropism | response to touch |
