Plants

Question 1

Function- stem

Answer 1

Holds up leaves & flower
Transport water, minerals & food
Stores food

Question 2

Function- leaves

Answer 2

Photosynthesise 
Allows carbon dioxide in
Allows oxygen out into the air
Allows water vapour to pass out
Some store food (glucose)

Question 3

Function- flowers

Answer 3

Produce seeds so plants can reproduce

Question 4

Function- bud

Answer 4

Growth point

New leaves/flowers will grow from a bud

Question 5

Transpiration

Answer 5

Loss of water from a plant
Allows water vapour to evaporate from the leaves into the air
Occurs- leaves

Question 6

Transpiration stream

Answer 6

Flow of water from the roots to the leaves of the plant

Question 7

Function- transpiration

Answer 7

Brings water to the leaves for photosynthesis
Brings minerals to the leaves (dissolved in the water)
Cool the plant

Question 8

Mineral transport

Answer 8

Minerals dissolved in water in the soil

Minerals absorbed by the roots in the water and pass around the plant in the water

Question 9

Xylem

Answer 9

Carries around minerals & water

Question 10

Phloem

Answer 10

Carries around food

Question 11

Tropism

Answer 11

growth of a plant in response to STIMULUS

Question 12

Phototropism

Answer 12

Growth of a plant in response to light

E.G. Stem grows towards the light, allows leaves to get as much light as possible

Question 13

Geotropism

Answer 13

Growth of a plant in response to GRAVITY

E.G. roots grow down into soil for anchorage, water & minerals

Question 14

By are the leaves put into HOT ALCOHOL

Answer 14

Remove chlorophyll

Question 15

Carbon dioxide (photosynthesis)

Answer 15

Passes from the leaf through the stomata

Question 16

Water (photosynthesis)

Answer 16

Water from the soil enters the plant through the roots and moves up through the plant in xylem to the leaves

Question 17

Light (photosynthesis)

Answer 17

Light form the sun is absorbed by the leaves

Question 18

Chlorophyll (photosynthesis)

Answer 18

Green pigment found in the leaves

Question 19

Glucose what is it?/function/stored as

Answer 19

Food made by plant
To provide energy for respiration
Stoned as starch

Question 20

Oxygen

Answer 20

Used for respiration

Released out of the stomata into the air

Question 21

Equation for photosynthesis

Answer 21

Carbon dioxide+ water Light Glucose+oxygen

Chlorophyll (Food)

Question 22

Female gamete +male gamete

Answer 22

Stamen

Carpel

Question 23

Fertilisation

Answer 23

joining of the male gamete and female gamete to form a ZYGOTE.

Question 24

Seed and fruit formation

Answer 24

The oval forms the seed and the ovary forms the fruit

Testa, embryo: plumule, radicl. food supply

Question 25

Seed dispersal

Answer 25

Carrying of the seed as far as possible form the parent plant

Question 26

Advantages of seed dispersal

Answer 26

Reduces competition between the seedlings & parent plant for light, space and water

Question 27

Methods of dispersal

Answer 27

Animal, self, wind, water

Question 28

Germination

Answer 28

Growth of a seed to for, a new plant

Conditions necessary: water, oxygen, warmth.

Question 29

Function-Roots

Answer 29

Anchor & support plant
Store food
Absorb water & minerals
