Name_____________________ Plant Growth and Adaptations Study Guide (pgs. A72-A87) DEFINE (Hint: The words are highlighted in your Science Textbook!) carbon dioxide - gas breathed out by animals nutrients - substances that all living things need to grow photosynthesis - process by which plants make their own food dormancy - state of lower activity during cold seasons transpiration - process by which leaves give off water taproot - deep roots that have tiny hairs to absorb water and nutrients fibrous root - long, shallow roots germinates - sprouts and begins to grow stamen - part of a flower that makes pollen pistil - part of a flower that collects pollen pollination - pollen is carried from a stamen to a pistil spore - tiny cells from which some plants germinate tuber - swollen underground stem 1. The term for the process that joins a cut stem of one plant to a slice in the stem of another plant is known as grafting. __________ 2. Where do spores grow? Spores grow in capsules. ___________________ 3. Is grass an example of a plant with fibrous roots or taproots? 4. Since photo means “light” and synthesis means “putting together,” how does the word photosynthesis describe the process by which a plant makes its own food? Plants use light and energy to put together carbon dioxide, and water to make their own food._______ 1 2 3 Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant For the seed of a flowering plant to begin to grow, it needs warmth, water, and air. The seed sprouts and becomes a seedling. Animals such as birds and bees feed on its nectar, which helps the plant prepare more seeds. 1. Sunlight is trapped by a leaf’s chlorophyll. 2. The leaves give off oxygen as waste. 3. Water and carbon dioxide in the leaves combine to make sugar. 4. The roots take in water.
