Plants Study Guide (Answer Key)
Define each of the following words.
Dormancy: a period of lower activity or suspended life processes brought
on by changes in the environment
Pollination: part of the reproductive process; the process by which pollen is
transferred from the stamens to the stigma
Photosynthesis: the process used by plants to make their own food or sugar;
Label the flower parts.
stigma
petal
pistil
stamen
sepal
ovule
ovary
Match the term with its definition.
makes pollen
pistil
protect the flower bud
stamen
egg
petal
ovary
Collects pollen. Pollen then travels
through this on the way to the
ovary.
ovule
collects pollen
sepals
colorful part of a plant that
attracts insects or animals
stigma
holds the ovules and is where the
seeds are made
List the steps for the process of pollination in order.
_1_ the stamen release pollen
_5_ the seeds form
_3_ pollen is collected by the stigma or pistil
_2_ pollen is transferred from one flower to another
_4_ ovule is fertilized
Name three ways pollen is transferred from one flower to another.
Wind/air
water
insects or animals
The plant kingdom is divided into two parts:
1) plants that produce seeds
List examples: pansy, daisy, marigold
2) plants that produce spores
List examples: ferns, mosses
Draw and label a flowering plant. Be sure to include the four major parts.
Explain how these parts help plants to survive.
Stem: supports the flower, carries water, food and nutrients throughout the
plant
Roots: takes in water and nutrients from the soil; holds the plant in the
ground
Leaves: makes food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis; contains
chlorophyll to trap sunlight
Flowers: attracts birds, bees and other insects, makes seeds by the process
of pollination
What do all plants need to live?
1) space
2) air
3) water
4) sunlight
5) soil
Describe dormancy. Which plants experience this and what time of year
does it happen?
a period of lower activity or suspended life processes brought on by
changes in the environment; usually in winter or times of drought; begins in
fall when leaves on broad-leafed change colors.
Fill in the blanks with words listed below.
chlorophyll
sugar
oxygen
carbon dioxide
water
leaves
Green plants produce their own food through the process of
photosynthesis. First, chlorophyll traps sunlight. Energy starts the food
making process. Carbon dioxide and water are used with other nutrients to
make sugar. Oxygen is released into the air.
Essay: What do plants need to carry out the process of photosynthesis?
Plants need four different things in order to carry out the process of
photosynthesis. The first thing they need is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the
green material in plants that helps to trap light energy. The second thing a
plant needs for photosynthesis is air.
Plants use a gas in the air called
carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The third thing plants need for
photosynthesis is water. Plants get water from the soil through the roots.
The last thing that plants need for photosynthesis is sunlight. Sunlight is the
energy for the plants that helps it change carbon dioxide into food for the
plant. These are the four things that a plant needs to carry out the process
of photosynthesis.
