| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Stomata | A small opening on the underside of the leaf through which oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide can move. |
| Transpiration | The process by which water is lost through plant’s leaves. |
| Germination | The sprouting of embryo out of the seed, occurs when the embryo resumes its growth following dormancy |
| Respiration | The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen. |
| Flower | The reproductive structure of an angiosperm. |
| Pollination | The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproduction structures in the plant. |
| List three functions of roots. | Anchorage, absorption, and storage. |
| List two functions of stems. | Support, transport, and structure. |
| Describe the basic function of leaves. | Photosynthesis, gas exchange, and transpiration. |
| What is the difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | Photosynthesis stores energy in glucose using sunlight, while cellular respiration releases that energy for cellular activities. |
| List the three ways a seed can be dispersed. | Gravity, wind, and animals. |
| Label the basic parts of a flower. (See diagram note sheet) | Sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels, each playing a role in protection, reproduction, or attraction of pollinators. |
| Describe what each part of the flower does. | Each part of a flower plays a crucial role in the plant's reproductive process, ensuring the survival of the species through pollination and seed production. |
