Mr. Vallee's 2015 Scavenger Hunt for “Introduction to Plants” http://brainpop.com Using the website, http://wayback.archiveit.org/3635/20130716154559/http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/00134 /indexx.html, answer the following questions. 1. How many different types of wildflower are there? 2. Plants produce flowers known as _________________. All plants have certain features in common. They all produce _________ and contain certain tissues which transport ____________ around the plant. 3. Flowers have _________ and ___________ parts. The male reproductive parts are called __________________. These are reproductive organs. Each of these are made up of a pod-like anther that contains _____________ __________ , which split open to release grains of ___________________. 4. The female reproductive part of the plant is the ______________ and is made up of the ________________ , the _______________. and the _________________. 5. The stigma is a sticky _________ ____________, which traps pollen grains that touch it. The _______________is part of the carpel, which joins the stigma to the ____________________. 6. The ovary is the female reproductive body and contains _____________ . The __________________ are the female cells of a plant and develop into seeds after _______________________. 7. Most plants have leaves that are specially adapted to allow _____________ _____________________ to take place. 8. All leaves have a long strip of vascular tissue called ___________. These __________________ supply the leaf with _______________ 1 and water, then move the food to other parts of the ______________. 9. Do all plants have leaves that are flat? 10 True or false – Are a cactus’s needles considered leaves? AND, what is the purpose of those spines? 11. Some leaves, like grasses have long veins, but MOST have one central vein called a ___________________________ , which is the big long line with smaller _____________ coming out of it. 12. What are the 2 types of leaves? 13. Describe each. 14. What type of fluid needs to reach all parts of the plant’s cell to stay healthy? 15. The plant’s fluids are carried by its ______________ _____________ and are made of xylem and ________________. 16. Xylem carries _______________ ___________ from the leaves to all other ________________. This movement is called _________________________. 17. The world can be divided into groups called ____________________. Each group is a ________________ with a unique _________________ and types of soil. A biome supports ________________________which are groups of _______________ and _____________________which interact with each other and their surroundings. 18. Many ecosystems are _________________ by the way we use the land. 19. Where can plants live? 20. Can a water lily live in a desert? 2 21. Can a cactus live in the ocean? 22. Plants need to be _______________________ to where they live to survive. 23. Why does a Venus flytrap need to adapt? Please explain. 24. Is that an example of a plant adaptation? Explain. 25. Name 10 places where you might find plants. 26. Do plants need roots to live? 27. Most roots grow ____________________. They grow there because they need to take in water and ________________________ from the soil. All roots have ____________ _____________ that are tube shaped cells. 28. What are the two types of roots? Describe and give an example of each type. 29. Roots hold the plant in place and store food made by ______________. 30. Stems let _______________ and ________________ pass from leaves to other parts of the plant. Stems are very important to any _____________ that lives on Earth. 3 31. The __________________ has a small stem and the tree has a big stem also known as a ____________________. A stem is the main ___________ of a plant that develops ______________ and shoots and usually grows above ________________. Stems are the one thing that holds ______ the _______________. 32. Growth allows _____________. plants to grow bigger and allows them Using this website http://www.biology4kids.com/files/plants_main.html please complete the following: 33. ______________________ is the process that allows plants to take energy from the Sun and create sugars. Not all plants go through the process of ______________________. 34. Plants also have _______________. In the cells tutorials we explained that all cells have a membrane. Only plants have an additional cell wall made from ________________. 35. There are a wide variety of plants on Earth and even a whole group that doesn't have _______________________. Mosses and liverworts may still have photosynthesis, but they do not have that 'classic' plant structure. Then you will find species such as cacti that don't have leaves. They conduct __________________________ in their stems. Anyway, just remember that there are many other possibilities in the plant kingdom. 36. Certain structures are designed to pull water and minerals from whatever material the plant sits on. For water plants, the _________ may be in the water. For traditional trees, the ________ go deep into the soil. There are even plants called epiphytes that live in trees and their _____ system clings to branches. Humans often capitalize on the ________ of plants for food. Carrots are just one big orange _________. 4 to 37. Roots are further broken down into the primary root and lateral roots that each has apical meristem at their tips. _____________________ are also a common structure on roots. They make the roots look fuzzy and help in the ____________________________________________. 38. The majority of the plant you see is made up of ________ and ___________. Think about a tree. The stems are the trunks and branches. Leaves are self-explanatory. Stems are all about transporting ____________________ and acting as support structures. Leaves are all about photosynthesis, creating ________________________ and absorbing _____________________ for the plant. These parts are connected by the vascular system of ________ and ______________ that spreads through the entire plant. 39. _____________ and ____________ make up the big transportation system of vascular plants. As you get bigger, it is more difficult to transport nutrients, water, and ________ around your body. You have a _____________ system if you want to keep growing. As plants evolved to be larger, they also developed their own kind of _____________ systems. The main parts you will hear a lot about are called ____________ and ________________. 40. The ______________ of a plant is the system of tubes and transport cells that circulates water and dissolved minerals. 41. The ___________ cells are laid out end-to-end throughout the entire plant, transporting the sugars and other molecules created by the plant. ___________ is always alive. 5
