Plants

Question 1

Leaf

Answer 1

Makes food for the plant (photosynthesis)
Cools the plant when water vapor passes through it
Allows the exchange of carbon dioxide

Question 2

Fruit

Answer 2

Protects seeds

Provides food for seeds

Question 3

Bud

Answer 3

Allows new leaves and flowers to grow

Question 4

Stem

Answer 4

The stem allows the transport of food, water and minerals around the plant. It also supports the plant and holds it upright, stems also store food

Question 5

Roots

Answer 5

Anchor and support, take in water and nutrients, store food (e.g carrots and turnips)

Question 6

Transport in plants

Answer 6

There are vessels in a plant, the xylem and the phloem.

Question 7

Xylem

Answer 7

Water is absorbed through the roots and travels up through the roots and travels to the leaves and the tips of the plant through the xylem, minerals from the soil are dissolved in the water and so, travel in the xylem also

Question 8

Phloem

Answer 8

Food from the leafs travels to other parts of the plant in the phloem

Question 9

Transpiration

Answer 9

Is the loss of water vapor from the stomata of the leaves, the flow of water from the roots up through the plant and out the leaves is called the transpiration stream

Question 10

Stomata

Answer 10

Are little holes on the underside of the leaves.

Question 11

Stimulus

Answer 11

Is anything that causes a response in an organism, plants respond to light and gravity

Question 12

Shoots tropism

Answer 12

Shoots/stems are positively phototrophic, negatively geotropic

Question 13

Why geotropism is good

Answer 13

It makes sure plants roots travel down to find water and minerals in the soil, having deep roots means the plant is anchored to the soil

Question 14

Why phototropism is good

Answer 14

It makes sure plants get enough light for photosynthesis so that they can make food

Question 15

Photosynthesis

Answer 15

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants make food using light energy

Question 16

Chlorophyll

Answer 16

A chemical need for photosynthesis and is found in the chloroplast

Question 17

How leaves are designed

Answer 17

Leaves are flat and thin so sunlight can get through them, leaves have tiny holes called stomata to allow oxygen out and carbon in

Question 18

Sexual reproduction

Answer 18

The flower is the sexual repruduction organ of the plant, male cells called pollen are made here, female cells are made here.

Question 19

Sepal

Answer 19

Protects the flower before it blooms

Question 20

Petals

Answer 20

Colored and scented to attract insects

Question 21

Male parts

Answer 21

Stamen made up of filament and anther

Question 22

Filmant

Answer 22

Holds up anther

Question 23

Anther

Answer 23

Marks pollen

Question 24

Female parts

Answer 24

Carpel made up of stigma, style and ovary

Question 25

Ovary

Answer 25

Makes the egg or ovule (gamete)

Question 26

Stigma

Answer 26

Pollen lands and sticks to it

Question 27

Style

Answer 27

Makes a tube for the pollen (male gamete) to travel down to the egg (female gamete)

Question 28

Pollination

Answer 28

Is the transfer of the pollen from the stamen (anther) of one plant to the carpel (stigma) of another, there’s two types insect and wind

Question 29

Fertilisation

Answer 29

Fertilisation is the fusion of the male
