Q

What do plants need to grow

A

Light
Water
Nutrients
Air

17
Q

Germination

A

Early growth/ development of a seed seed starts to sprout (plumule) and root (radical) this needs warmth water and oxygen

18
Q

Wind pollination features

A

Doesn’t need petals,sent,nectar
Produce more pollen and pollen is smaller and tighter
Spread out stigma and feathery to catch passing pollen

19
Q

Diffent ways seed are dispersed

A

Wind-small light seeds often feathery
Water-float &carried by rivers/seas
Bursting-some seed pods explode
Animals-seeds which are in fruit are eaten by animals then pooped out later

20
Q

Word equations for photosynthesis

A

Carbondio+water——>glucose+oxygen
Light

21
Q

Stomata features

A

Allow water and oxygen to leave and carbon dioxide to enter
Open and close to stop a plant from dehydration
