Vocab Stems and Roots Plant Reproduction Leaves and Photosynthesis Plant Growth

Tubes in plants that help carry sugar away from the leaves.

Phloem

This is when pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil.

pollination

This type of seed only has one cotyledon, its leaves have parallel veins, and it usually has a fibrous root system.

A Monocot Seed

A single plant cell that is able to become a new plant.

A Spore

This type of seed has two cotyledons, veins that branch out, and usually a taproot system.

A Dicot Seed

This part of the stem carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plants.

Xylem

Most water enters the plant from what part of the root?

Root Hairs

This type of root is big and thick with one main part going straight down into the soil.

taproot

This type of root has many different small strands that grow in different directions.

Fibrous Roots

Name 2 main functions of roots

Absorb nutrients from the soil Absorb water from the soil Help hold a plant in place

This type of reproduction is when only 1 parent passes along its DNA to create an offspring with the same genes.

Asexual Reproduction

Name 3 types of asexual reproduction.

Spores Budding Runners

Pollen is made in this part of the flower.

The Stamen

This is the part of the flower where an egg can become fertilized by the pollen.

The pistil

Identify 3 ways that pollen can move for pollination to occur.

It can stick to an animal, Wind can blow it, Water can move pollen

What are the 3 factors that a plant needs to perform photosynthesis

Carbon Dioxide Water Sunlight Energy

These are the two products that come from Photosynthesis

Oxygen Sugar

How do the tiny holes in the bottoms of leaves help plants?

They allow air to pass in and out.

This is the “top layer of skin” that helps protect the leaf.

The Epidermis

This is the time of day when a plant can not produce more sugar (food) and must use its stored sugar for energy.

Nighttime

What type of conditions might keep an embryo from growing out of a seed?

It is too cold or too dry.

Name two factors that control how quickly or slowly a plant grows.

1.The Plant’s DNA 2.The Enviornment

This type of tropism causes roots to grow downward and stems to grow upward.

Gravitropism

This type of tropism can cause some plants to lean towards a source of light.

Phototropism

This type of tropism causes plants to respond to objects they touch.

Thigmotropism
