|---|
| photosynthesis | plants take carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight energy, and turn those things into sugar |
| cells | plants are made of these and even though plants may look different, they have many of the same kinds of cells |
| needs of a plant | carbon dioxide, water, sunlight |
| chlorophyll | makes plants green, captures sunlight need in making oxygen, food, and sugar |
| chloroplast | jelly-bean shape that contains chlorophyll |
| stems | carry water, minerals, and food between the roots and leaves; supports the plants. Some plants don't need a woody stem because it doesn't need the support. |
| leaves | produce food so plant can survive: pine needles, banana leaves, tulip leaves |
| taproots | anchor plants, absorb water and minerals from soil, large main root which grows straight down |
| fibrous roots | absorb water and mineral nutrients, grow out in every direction and don't get very thick or very deep |
| sepal | protects the flower as it grows inside the bud |
| pistil | female organ of flower that produces egg cells, thick bottom part of the pistil is ovary |
| stamen | male part of flower that make tiny grains of pollen |
| fertilization | 1. animals and wind carry the pollen from a plant into the pistil of another plant 2.pollen tube grows from the pollen into the ovary, 3. sperm cells from the pollen and the egg cell in the ovary combine |
| life cycle of a plant | 1. seed germinates or grows, 2. it absorbs water and breaks the seed coat, 3.plant uses food from the seed to grow and roots start to form and grow down into the soil, 4. leaves grow and start making food for the plant, 5. plant grows into adult plant and flowers grow, 6. flower makes egg cells and pollen, 7. pollination happens and fruit forms aroung the seed, 8. fruit separates from the plant and seed germinate starting the cycle all over again |
| grafting | growing apples without starting from seeds; cutting branches from one tree and putting it on another tree |
| dormant | seed doesn't get what it needs, it will stay in a state of rest |
| stamen | part of a flower that makes pollen |
| dormant | seed may stay stis way for years before beginning to grow |
| fertilization | sperm cell and egg cell combine |
| sepal | leaflike part of ta plant that protects the flower bud |
| photosynthesis | plants make their own food during this process |
| pistil | female organ of the flower that produces egg cells |
| chlorophyll | plants are green because of this material |
| ovary | part of the flower that grows into a fruit that protect the seeds |
