| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name the green chemical in plants | chlorophyll |
| What does chlorophyll allow plants to do? | Use the sun's energy to make food |
| What else do plants need to make food? | water, minerals and carbon dioxide |
| What are the basic building blocks of ALL living things? | CELLS |
| What do cells in leaves do? | Help the plant to make food |
| What parts transport food? | tube-like structures |
| What are "tissues"? | Tissues carry water and minerals |
| Looking at plant cells on what does a plant cell have that an animal cell does not? | Cell wall, Large Vacuoles, chloroplasts. |
| What are the major plant groups? | Vascular and Non-Vascular |
| Explain vascular: | plants with tubes that allow the plants to grow tall |
| Explain nonvascular: | plants without tubes that must grow low to the ground |
| Example of nonvascular plant: | moss, liverworts |
| In the vascular division, what are the two groups? | seed bearing, and seedless |
| How do non-seed plants reproduce? | Spores |
| Example of a non-seed plant. | Fern |
| What are the five kingdoms of living things? | Animal, Plant, Moneran, Protist, Fungi |
| What makes animals different from plants? | Animals cannot make their own food. |
| In the animal kingdom, how are they divided into smaller groups? | Vertebrate, Invertebrate |
| Explain vertebrate: | Vertebrates have a back bone |
| Explain invertebrate: | Invertebrates do not have a back bone |
| Example of a vertebrate: | dogs, cats, horses, us |
| Example of an invertebrate: | Jellyfish |
| What two parts are in a plant cell but not in an animal cell? | cell wall and chloroplasts |
| Define Chloroplast | part of a plant cell, contains chlorophyll used in photosynthesis |
| Define Cytoplasm | Jelly Like substance that all parts of the cell float in. |
| Define Cell Wall | Outer layer of the plant cell. Gives the plant cell structure and support. |
| Define Cell Membrane | Allows water, nutrients and food to pass in and out of the cell. |
| Define Nucleus | Control Center of the cell; the "brain" of the cell |
| Define Vacuole | Storage area of the cell |
| Bacteria is a member of what kingdom? | Moneran |
