1.1 – 1.2 Plants Structures and Processes
3
Leaves chlorophyll in the chloroplasts makes leaves green
solar energy is trapped in leaves and changed into chemical energy in the chloroplasts photosynthesis: process to make food _Carbon Dioxide_ + _water_ +_sunlight_ _sugar_ + _oxygen_ cellular respiration: process to use food reverse reaction of photosynthesis do this at night __oxygen__ + __sugar__ __carbon dioxide__ + _water__ + _sunlight__ water enters and leaves cells in the leaves through __guard cells__. When they absorb water they swell, opening the stoma (plural: stomata), which lets in carbon dioxide and lets out water vapour and oxygen (transpiration)
5
Roots __Capillary Action__ is where the water particles are attracted to each other and to the sides of the tubes, and moves water from the roots up to the very top of the plant.
6
Movement of Fluid in Plants
Diffusion: Uses lots of water to move minerals and nutrients in and out of cells Diffusion is the key process that allows particles to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration Osmosis: Diffusion of water particles through a selectively permeable membrane A cell membrane acts like a border guard and allows some materials to pass and some not to pass. Depending on the needs of the cell.

Pollination is the process of fertilizing a seed plant
Pollination is the process of fertilizing a seed plant. The pollen grains (sperm) land on the stigma at the end of the pistil and makes a pollen tube to the ovary where the ovaries (eggs) are. Pollinators are organisms that carry pollen from one flower to another so that it may be cross-pollinated.

SUPPORT FOR THE PEDALS Sperm CARRIED INSIDE THE POLLEN GRAIN. FERTILIZES THE EGG J. Stamen PRODUCES POLLEN K. Stigma WHERE THE POLLEN GRAIN GERMINATES (BEGIN TO GROW) – STICKY PLATFORM WHERE POLLEN IS DEPOSITED L. style CONNECTS THE STIGMA AND THE OVARY

seeds, bulbs (cross-pollination)
SEXUAL ASEXUAL Definition Examples seeds, bulbs (cross-pollination) seeds (self-pollination), vegetative reproduction (stem cutting, graphs, runners, rhizomes) Advantages Disadvantages
14
Selective Breeding – Also known as artificial selection
Humans select what are the wanted traits are Over many generations of breeding plants together that have the wanted traits, the new species of plant will emerge. Advantages and Disadvantages Faster race horses, foods with consistent traits, insect resistant plants, calmer dispositions Inbreeding – increased disease rate, increased infections rate, decreased fertility rate

3. Plants provide shelter.
1. Plants provide oxygen. Plants use up carbon dioxide (that animals release) and release oxygen (that animals breathe in). 2. Plants provide food. Plants make their own food from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. The plants become food for other organisms. Those organisms become food for other organisms. 3. Plants provide shelter. Plants protect other organisms from weather and predators. 4. Plants build and protect soil. Dead plant material builds soil. Plants also prevent erosion because the roots hold the soil together.

Plants for Food Plants for Fibre
21
Living Resources are living things that can be used for human needs.
Example: trees, plants, animals Maintaining Living Resources involves maintaining healthy populations of all living things.
22
Changes caused by Human Activity
First Nations People collected food and fibre they needed by hunting and gathering developed methods for encouraging plant growth clearing areas with fire plants were used for multiple purposes ex. The wild rose was food and medicine Horses and Guns affected living resources Hunts became more efficient Horses competed for grazing European Settlers Cleared farm land to grow food Logged forests to supply wood for building and fuel Forest Resources In some parts of the world resources are being used faster than they are being replaced – this is non-sustainable The need for managing resources became greater and greater.

4.1 Modifying Environments to Increase Yields
Yield means the amount of useful plant part per plant. Technologies Greenhouses Have the right temperature, light, and nutrients for their needs Hydroponic Systems Plants are grown without soil Roots are buried in coarse sand or gravel Nutrient-rich water is pumped through regularly
