|
|
Term
| What are the products of photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Where does photosynthesis occur? |
|
Definition
| in the chloroplasts (anywhere the plant is green) |

|
Definition
| stomata are the breathing holes. Located on the underside of leaves. The role of stomata is gas exchange |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is transpiration? Why is it important? |
|
Definition
| it is an “engine” that pulls water up from the roots and cools the plant, protecting it from overheating |

|
Definition
| female part of the flower is pistil.The parts are stigma, style, and the ovary |
|
|
Term
| What is the male part of the flower called? What are the two parts of the male called? |
|
Definition
| Stamen is the male part of the flower; it consists of the anther and filament |
|
|
Term
| Describe what happens during plant sex. |
|
Definition
| plant sex starts with cells in the Anther produce grains. Then pollen lands on the sticky tip of the stigma. A tube grows from each pollen grain down the style towards the ovule in the ovary. Two sperm cells go in: one fertilizes an eggshell - embryo, one fuses with female gametophyte and supplies food to embryo - endosperm) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| embryo begins to grow again, it is called germination |
|
|
Term
| What is self-pollination? Cross-pollination? |
|
Definition
| Self pollination is when the pollen from one plant goes to the stigma of the same plant. Cross pollination is when the pollen from one plant goes to the stigma of a different plant. |

Term
| How do plants impact your life? |
|
Definition
| Plant not only provide the world with food, but they also hold the dirt down to slow the process of erosion. Plants produce oxygen which is needed for our human existence to continue. |
