The process by which plants use energy from the Sun to make food

What is Photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle

What is chloroplasts?

It’s the most important pigment in chloroplast which is found in the leaves; it’s why the leaves are green

What are Chlorophyll?

A small opening found on the underside of most leaves which allows water vapor and gases to pass in and out

What are stomatas?

Plants cannot survive without these two things

What is water and carbon dioxide?

Vascular tissues which transports water and minerals “upwards” from the roots

What is the xylem?

Vascular tissues that transport food materials downward “flowing” from the leaves to the rest of the plant

What is the phloem?

This takes place when liquid water from the plant’s leaves change to water vapor and is released into the air

What is transpiration?

When water and minerals are pushed up the plant from the roots

What is root pressure?

True or False About 99% of the water that enters the roots is transpired by the leaves

What is true?

Seedless plants reproduce using these which are scattered by wind

What are spores?

Plants with “naked seeds” that are not covered by a protective fruit

What are gymnosperms?

Any process that deliver pollen to egg cells

What is Pollination?

Plants that produce seeds with a protective covering such as fruit

What are angiosperms?

These are two of the four ways pollen can be dispersed

What is self-pollination, wind, water, animals?

Most plants are examples of this; they include roots, stems, and leaves

What are vascular plants?

These types of plants lack true leaves, stems, and roots

What are nonvascular plants?

The male anther produces this which is also known as the male sperm cell

What is pollen?

The female reproductive organ of an angiosperm, or flowering plant

What is the Pistil?

The “sticky” part of a flowering plant that the pollen gets stuck to which causes fertilization

What is the Stigma?

This is an example of a nonvascular plant; it is found in moist places

What is moss?

This is the colorful part of the flower that protects the male and female reproductive organs

What are Petals?

Name two ways seeds can be dispersed

What is wind, water, or animals?

This is the only way pollen is dispersed from a male cone

What is wind?

This is an example of a seedless plant

What is a fern?
