Science Unit 8 Flash Cards - Plants

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Geotropism   plants response to Earth's gravity, roots grow towards the source of gravity (positive) shoots grow away (negative)  
🗑
Tugor Pressure   Plants have water in their cell vacoules, the water pushes (force) on the cell membrane and wall creating a type of pressure which makes the cell stiff or rigid  
🗑
Phototropism   Plant growth in response to a light source, plant bends to grow towards the sun  
🗑
Equation for Photosynthesis   6 water + 6 CO2 + sunlight + sugar/glucose (C6+H12+O6 + 6 O2  
🗑
Pholem   Vessels in the stem to transport food  
🗑
Thygmotropism   Plant growth in response to touch. Plant wraps around an object it comes in contact with.  
🗑
Autotrophs   Plants which is an organism that can produce their own energy through chemical reaction.  
🗑
Xylem   Vessels in the stem to transport water.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   The process plants use to produce sugar from sunlight.  
🗑
Radiant Energy   Chemical energy transformed from the sun.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Organelle found in the plant cells in the leaves of green plants which help to produce food for the plant (in form of sugar) during photosynthesis.  
🗑
Tropism   Plant's growth response to a stimulus  
🗑
Hydrotropism   Plant growth in response to water. Plants' roots grows toward a water source.  
🗑
Chlorophyll   Green pigment in leaves that captures sunlight.  
🗑
Carbon Dioxide   Waste product of animals, needed by plants for photosynthesis.  
🗑
Glucose   Plant food made during photosynthesis  
🗑
Stimulus   Something that causes a reaction/response; internal or external.  
🗑
Chemical Energy   Energy made by plants during photosynthesis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
