Question 5

Taproot

Answer 5

one main root a plant that goes deep into the soil

Question 6

Fibrous root

Answer 6

.many roots of the same size that grow long but not deep

Question 7

Germinate

Answer 7

.when a seed sprouts after getting enough warmth, water and air

Question 8

Spore

Answer 8

tiny cells, much smaller than a seed, which can only be seen with a microscope

Question 9

Tuber

Answer 9

.swollen underground stems

example: potatoes,carrots

Question 10

Chlorophyll

Answer 10

.the material that makes a leaf green

Question 11

grafting

Answer 11

.process to join two or more plants to make a new plant

Question 12

What’s the Plant Life Cycle

Answer 12

.Seeds are the first part of flowering plant’s life cycle
seeds then sprout and grow into mature plants
mature plants then form flowers
flower form pollen which then spread to other flowers
which later flowers form into seeds
1) seed
2) sprout (or germinate)
2) grows to mature plant
3) forms flower
4) flower forms seed

Question 13

What are the four plant parts?

Answer 13

Seed
Roots
Stem
Leaves

Question 14

What is the function of the seed

Answer 14

.seed is what a plant is grown from

which later the mature plant form more seeds

Question 15

What is the function of the roots

Answer 15

.root take in water and minerals from the soil and make the plant stable

Question 16

What is the function of the stem

Answer 16

.stem carry water and minerals from the root to the leaves
stem help support the plantand give them shape
stems store water and food

Question 17

What is the function of the leaves

Answer 17

.leaves take in carbon dioxide gas from the air
photosynthesis occur in leaves which help produce its own food
leaves then give off oxygen

Question 18

what are the special adaptation of cacti

Answer 18

.because its hot and dry in the desert, cacti have roots that are close to the surface of the soil in order to get much water and moisture from the ground

Question 19

what are the special adaptation of water lillies

Answer 19

.waterlily’s leaves float on the water’s surface to take in sunlight
and its roots are n the soil at the bottom of the pond

Question 20

what are the special adaptation of plants with “active traps”

Answer 20

.because some plant grow in poor soils, its leaves are adapted to let them trap and eat insects;
insects provide nutrients that are missing in the soil

Question 21

what is the process of photosynthesis

Answer 21

leaves take in carbon dioxide and the root take in water
water travel up the stem to the leaves
leaves use energy from light to put carbon dioxide and water together to make sugar as food for the plant
leaves give off oxygen which is the waste product of photosynthesis
