Key Terms & Study Info for Flowering Plants & Photosynthesis
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The female part of the flower that produces the egg. This part is made of the stigma, the style, and the ovary | Pistil |
The male part of the flower that produces the pollen. This part is made of the anther and the filament | Stamen |
special leaves that protect the flower before it blooms | Sepal |
The process when pollen is carried from the stamen to the pistil | Pollination |
The process when the pollen reaches the egg, and a seed begins to form | Fertilization |
The process where plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, to produce their own food (glucose) | Photosynthesis |
A chemical found in plants that absorbs sunlight and helps to perform photosynthesis | Chlorophyll |
The process where glucose and oxygen are turned into the energy that organisms need in order to live | Respiration |
The process when plants give off excess water (vapor) through the stomata | Transpiration |
small holes under the leaves of plants where gasses can be taken in or released | Stomata |
A plant’s growth response toward or away from a stimulus | Tropism |
The three raw materials necessary for photosynthesis | Sunlight, Water, and Carbon Dioxide |
What are the products from the process of respiration? | Energy, Carbon Dioxide, and Water |
What do plants produce during the process of photosynthesis? | Glucose & Oxygen |
What are the two main ways that plants are pollinated? | birds/insects & wind |
How does a plant take in the carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis? | Through the stomata |
Where does respiration take place? | In the cells of all living organisms |
What do organisms need in order to perform respiration? | Glucose & Oxygen |
What are the three main methods of seed dispersal? | Animals, Wind, & Water |
How do plants release excess water? | Water vapor leaves through the stomata |
Name one of the most common ways that plants defend themselves. | Thorns, Poisonous Fruit, Sticky Sap |
