Q

Why is Xylem important

A

This is important because plants need to move tens to hundreds of gallons of water in their bodies per day, depending on their size

Q

Phloem Definition

A

Phloem transports sugars and other nutrients rather than water, and uses much smaller vessels

24
Q

How are Xylem and Phloem Different in transportation

A

Xylem tubes only pull water up, from the roots to the shoots, whereas phloem can transport the sugars made in the leaves of a plant up or down to its stems and roots.

25
Q

Why do carnivorous plants need to eat insects and other small animals

A

Carnivorous plants need nutrients, such as nitrogen and calcium, which their environments don’t provide

26
Q

Do carnivorous plants carry out photosynthesis

A

Yes they do through their leaves

27
Q

What are the four main types of traps that carnivorous plants use

A

Bladder traps, flypaper traps, lobster pot traps, and pitfall traps

28
Q

How are stimuli and responses related

A

Stimuli act like a trigger that causes a response or reaction to occur

29
Q

Tropism Definition

A

A growth response in plants

30
Q

Auxin Definition

A

A plant hormone that controls how fast plant cells grow

31
Q

Dormancy Definition

A

A period of inactivity

32
Q

Geotropism Definition

A

A plant growth response to gravity

33
Q

Photoperiodism Definition

A

A plant’s response to seasonal changes in the length of night and day

34
Q

Phototropism Definition

A

Plant growth response to the direction of light

35
Q

Thigmotropism Definition

A

A plant growth response to touch

36
Q

What is tropism

A

A tropism is the movement response to different types of stimuli in a plant’s environment

37
Q

What are three different stimuli that can cause plant tropism

A

Gravity, Light, and Touch are the 3 stimuli that can cause a plant tropism

38
Q

If you place a plant in a Sunny window, it will begin to grow toward the light. What type of tropism is this an example of

A

Phototropism

39
Q

Which tropism causes the roots on a plant to grow downward

A

Geotropism

40
Q

What king of tropism is a plant’s response to touch

A

Thigmotropism

41
Q

Why do some plants flower in the spring, while others flower in the summer

A

Many flowering have a critical night length, which means they will only bloom when the night lasts a certain number of hours

42
Q

What time of the year do short-day plants produce flowers

A

Short-day plants need long need long nights to produce flowers, so they flower in the fall or winter when the nights are longer

43
Q

When do long-day plants bloom

A

Long-day plants need shorter nights to flower, and they bloom in the spring or summer

44
Q

What are day neutral plants

A

Day-neutral plants aren’t affected by the length of day and night and grew all year-round

45
Q

What are2 things that might trigger dormancy

A

Cooler temperatures and shorter days can trigger some plants to go dormant

46
Q

How does dormancy help some plants survive

A

Dormancy helps these plants survive the colder temperatures and lack of liquid water in the winter

47
Q

Pitfall Trap Definition

A

A cup-shaped growth with liquid inside. This pitcher plant is a classic pitfall. It lures bugs in with the promise of sweet, delicious nectar. But once they come in, they drown in the stuff inside.

48
Q

Passive Definition

A

Plants that wait for prey to walk in them

49
Q

Lobster Pot Trap definition

A

Inward-pointing hairs force the bug to keep crawling in one direction, until it gets to a sort of stomach, where it’s digested.

50
Q

Flypaper Trap Definition

A

Sticky beads smell delicious to insects. But once they land there, they’re stuck. Pretty soon, the plant absorbs the nutrients from their decaying bodies.

51
Q

Active Definition

A

Plants that move to capture their prey

52
Q

Do carnivorous plants have muscles

A

Carnivorous plants have cells that move in response to touch. When a bug touches them, a chemical reaction starts. The cells on one side of its tentacles expand really fast, causing them to bend.

53
Q

What is another way plant traps move

A

Other traps move by changing the water pressure within their cells. When a plant senses a bug in its “mouth,” the cells in its leaves swell with extra water, making the leaves snap shut.

54
Q

Bladder Trap Definition

A

When a plant’s sensors detect motion, special pumps suck water into the plant. Any small creatures nearby get vacuumed in

55
Q

What are carnivorous plants diet

A

Well, all these plants live mainly on insects, but they can eat small animals, too, like mice or frogs.

56
Q

Fungi are responsible for what

A

Approximately two-third of the infectious plant diseases
