* Plant process: Water is transported from the root to the leaf.
* Plant process: Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata.
* Plant Process: Water and oxygen is released through the stomata.
* Plant process: Glucose is transported from the leaf back to the root.
* Be able to label the parts of a plant on a diagram: anther, pistil, stigma, eggs, style, petal, ovary, and
stamen.
* Stomata are opened and closed by guard cells.
* During cellular respiration, plants use oxygen and glucose.
* There are three kinds of tropism: gravitropism, phototropism, and touch tropism.
* Fertilization only occurs during sexual reproduction.
* A plant is pollinated before it is fertilized.
* A plant can have the roots of one tree and the fruit of another tree through the grafting of two trees.
* By taking in carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen and water, plants help make a more healthful environment.
