Plant

Question 1

Flowering plants

Answer 1

Consist of a shoot and a root

Question 2

The shoot

Answer 2

Consists of the stem leaves,buds and flowers

Question 3

The root anchors

Answer 3

The plant,absorbs water and minerals from the soil,and stores food made in the leaves

Question 4

The stem supports

Answer 4

The leaves and flowers and allows for the transport of materials up and down the plant

Question 5

The leaf makes

Answer 5

Food,loses water vapour,and exchanges the gases carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air

Question 6

The flower

Answer 6

Is for reproduction, it forms the seeds

Question 7

Plants

Answer 7

Are identified by their flowers and leaves

Question 8

Photosynthesis

Answer 8

Is the process by which green plants make food

Is carried out in all the green (chlorophyll containing) parts of the plant-especially the leaves

Question 9

Chlorophyll

Answer 9

Is the green chemical needed for photosynthesis

Chlorophyll traps lights energy and uses it to combine carbon dioxide and water,to form glucose and oxygen

Question 10

Glucose

Answer 10

Travels around the plant in special cells called phloem

Question 11

Leaves

Answer 11

Are specially designed for photosynthesis.They are flat and thin,have air spaces between the cells and tiny pores on their surface called stomata

Question 12

Carbon dioxide

Answer 12

Water,light and chlorophyll are needed for photosynthesis to occur

Question 13

Carbon dioxide enters the leaf from the air,water is absorbed from the soil through the roots

Answer 13

.

Question 14

Leaf in boiling water for one minute

Answer 14

To kill cells and soften leaf

Question 15

Leaf in hot methylated sprint or alcohol

Answer 15

To remove chlorophyll from the leaf

Question 16

Leaf rinsed in hot water

Answer 16

To soften it

Question 17

Leaf placed on white tile and iodine added

Answer 17

To test the leaf for the presence of starch-If starch is present,leaf turns black.

Question 18

Xylem vessels

Answer 18

Water and minerals move up through the plant

Question 19

Transpiration

Answer 19

is the loses of water vapour from the leaves of a plant

Question 20

Stomata

Answer 20

Water leaves the plant through the stomata of a leaf

Question 21

Transpiration stream

Answer 21

The flow of water through a plant is called the transpiration stream

Question 22

Transpiration provides

Answer 22

Water for photosynthesis,carries minerals in the water,and plant

Question 23

Phloem

Answer 23

Food is transported form the leaves to the rest of the plant in the phloem
