Plants

Question 1

Flower

Answer 1

Reproduction

Question 2

Leaf

Answer 2

Photosynthesis, transpiration, gas exchange and store food

Question 3

Transpiration

Answer 3

Cools the plant when water vapour passes through it. Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the stomata of the leaves. The flow of water from the roots, up through the plant, and out the leaves is called the transpiration steam.

Question 4

Photosynthesis

Answer 4

Is the process where green plants make food using light energy

Question 5

Stem

Answer 5

Transports food, water and minerals around the plant. Supports the plant and holds it upright. Stem stores food ( e.g. Potato). Gas exchange in lenticels.

Question 6

Fruit

Answer 6

Protects seeds and provides food for seeds

Question 7

Bud

Answer 7

Allows for new leaves and flowers to grow

Question 8

Roots

Answer 8

Anchor and support the plant, take in water and nutrients, store food ( e.g. Carrots and turnips)

Question 9

Water

Answer 9

Is absorbed up through the roots, and travels to the leaves and the tips of the plant through the xylem

Question 10

Xylem

Answer 10

Water and dissolved solids e.g. minerals. Water = xylem

Question 11

Phloem

Answer 11

Food from leaves around the plant. Food = PHloem

Question 12

Chlorophyll

Answer 12

Is the green chemical needed for photosynthesis, it is found in the chloroplasts of plant cells

Question 13

Carbon dioxide

Answer 13

Enters the stomata ( holes on underside of leaf )

Question 14

Photosynthesis word equation

Answer 14

Carbon dioxide + water = Glucose + oxygen

Question 15

How are leaves designed for photosynthesis

Answer 15

Leaves are flat and thin so sunlight can get through them, leaves have tiny holes called stomata to allow oxygen out and carbon dioxide in

Question 16

What do leaves need to photosynthesise

Answer 16

Carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere, water comes in through the roots from the soil, chlorophyll in their chloroplasts, sunlight

Question 17

What do plants do with the glucose when they make it ?

Answer 17

Like us, plants use glucose for growing and repairing damaged parts, if they don’t use it they store it as starch
