Genus
Species
Sepals
Pistil
Stamen
Pollination
Fertilization
Germinate
arrange or sort objects or living things according to their properties or characteristics
a group of closely related living things
group of similar organisms that can mate & produce offspring that can also produce offspring
one of the leaflike parts that cover and protect the flower bud
a female structure in plants that produces egg cell
male structure in plants that makes pollen
the movement of pollen from stamen to pistil
the process in which a sperm cell and an egg cell combine
to start to grow
Answer the following questions.
10.
What two characteristics do scientists use to classify plants?
(1) how they transport nutrients
(2) how they reproduce
11.
Plant Type:
Vascular
Nonvascular
Definition:
Have a tubelike structure
Nontubular; pass nutrients from cell to cell
12.
Compare seeds & spores:
ALIKE: (1) grow into new plants, (2) have a protective covering
DIFFERENT: seeds have many cells, spores only have one cell
13.
Label the parts of a flower.
stamen
Male Part
anther
Function: produce pollen
Example:
Ferns, wildflowers, bamboo
pistil
Female Part
Function: produce egg
Function: protect and cover the
flower bud
14.
Why are flower petals often colorful?
To attract animals to help with pollination
15.
Name 3 ways pollen is carried from the stamen to the pistil. Wind , water, animals
16.
What is a bulb? An underground stem that stores food
17.
What three things does a seed need to germinate? Oxygen, water, the right temperature
Chapter 6, Lesson 3 & 4
**This will be combined with Chapter 6, Lessons 1 & 2 for one test on plants.
Be able to match the vocabulary words below:
Photosynthesis the process in which plants make sugar
Chlorophyll
the substance in plants that makes their parts green and captures energy from sunlight
Answer the following questions.
1.
What are the four needs of a plant?
Water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, nutrients
2.
Explain the jobs of each part of the plant:
Job
Roots
(1) collect water (2) hold plant in place
Stem
(1) transports water and nutrients (2) supports plant structure
Leaves
(1) collect sunlight and carbon dioxide
3.
What 4 things does a plant need for photosynthesis?
Sunlight, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, water
4.
What is the product of photosynthesis? (What food does a plant make?)
sugar
5.
What is the waste product of photosynthesis?
oxygen
6.
How do plants and animals depend on each other?
Plants give off oxygen, which animals need to breathe. Animals give off carbon dioxide, which
plants need to live.
7.
What are the three stages of a plant life cycle?
(1) seed, (2) young plant (called a seedling), (3) adult plant
8.
Plants grow from seeds and spores, but can also grow from plant parts.
Give an example:
Tulips - Grow from bulbs (underground stems)
Strawberries – Grow from stems (called runners)
Grass – Can grow from underground roots
