| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Epidermis | The thin outer layer of cells |
| Moves water and minerals to other parts of the plant | Xylem |
| Phloem | carries sugars made in leaves throughout the plant |
| Stoma | small holes that water and gasses pass in and out of the plant through |
| Guard Cells | work together to open and close a leaf's stoma |
| Transpiration | loss of water from the leaf |
| Some plants have one large root called a | taproot with many roots growing out from it |
| __are taproots that store extra food made by the plant | Carrots |
| __are roots that store water | Carrots |
| Stems provide support for the plant as it grows. The stems also have __ and __ which move __ __ __ throughout the plant | xylem and pholeum water,minerals, and glucose |
| Plants with stems that are green and easy to bend are called__ | herbaceous |
| __ opens and closes a leaf's stoma | Guard Cells |
| Photosynthesis | process thorough which plants make glucose |
| Cellular Respiration | process by which cells break down glucose with the release of energy |
| During photosynthesis plants use __ __ __ and __ to make glucose and oxygen. | light energy from the sun,carbon dioxide form the air,and water |
| Cuticle | waxy layer that may cover a leaf and slow water loss |
| A ___ releases energy and is called the ___ of a cell | mitochondria powerhouse |
| Describe photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | Photosynthesis uses the sun, carbon dioxide,and water to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose. This provides energy for the plant. |
| Tropism | plant behavior caused by growth toward or away from something in the environment |
| Some seeds plants, called ___ produce flowers | angiosperms |
| Most seeds develop into a __ | fruit |
| After fertilization, the female cone closes up and ___ grows within it. | seeds |
| Describe spores? | Spores contain a single cell that grows into a new plant and a seed contains a multicellular embryo that develops into a new plant |
| How do seeds survive? | Seeds need a certain temperature,water,and oxygen. If the environment is not right seeds wont germinate and the embryo stays inside the seed. |
| plant behaviors can result from __ the plants make | chemicals |
| Describe 3 examples of tropism? | Gravitropism is a plants response to gravity to which roots grow down and stems grow up. Photo tropism is a response to light and in which stems bend tword light and roots bend away from light. Thigmotropism is plants grow twrod the surface they touch. |
