Plants
Guided Notes

Plants are multi-celled living __________________.
organisms
Like all living things plants are made of
____________.
Plant cells have small parts called
cells
organelles. These organelles have special jobs or
functions.
Plant Cell
2. The __cell membrane_
controls what goes in and
out of the cell.
4. The _mitochondria_
the energy stations that
control how much
energy the cell uses.
6. The cytoplasm is
the gel like substance
inside the cell that
holds the organelles
in place
1. The _nucleus____ is the
control room of the cell.
3. The cell wall_ gives the
cell its shape and strength.
It helps the plant to stand
up.
5. The vacuoles stores
food and waste and get
rid of the waste.
7. The Chloroplasts contain
a chemical called
chlorophyll. Chlorophyll
absorbs sunlight and
combines it with carbon
dioxide and water to make
food (sugar).
Parts of a Plant
Plants also have unique structures that help perform all the
processes that help it to survive. These structures include
1. Roots which absorb water and minerals from the soil
2. Leaves which absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from
the atmosphere and release oxygen and water vapor as
waste as they make food.
3. Stem that help support leaves and flowers
and that transport nutrients and food and waste
to different parts of the plant.
4. Flowers which are the reproductive parts that
attract animals to help with pollination.
5. Fruit which holds the seeds
Photosynthesis
Plants make their own food using the process called ________________.
During photosynthesis, the leaves absorb sunlight in the
Chloroplasts
Carbon Dioxide
__________________.
They also absorb ___________________.
They combine these with water that comes from the
Roots
_________________.
The leaves use the sunlight to chemically
change the carbon dioxide and water into ______________.
Sugar
This is
used as food by the plant and stored for future use. Plants are called
Producers
_________________
because they do make their own food.
Plant Life Cycle
Plants have a life cycle
that goes from seed to
Seed
Seedling
_______to
_________to
Adult
_______to
__________
Flowering adult
to ______.
Seed
The flower has special parts which help with pollination. The
______________
are colorful and smell good so that they help to
petals
attract insects and other animals to the flower. The
sepals
____________
are the small green leaves that protect the flower.
stamen
The ___________________
are the male part of the flower and
contain the pollen on the end. The __________
is the female
pistil
part that creates the new seed. Pollination occurs when the pollen
is moved from the stamen to the pistil.
