Question 11

Name three plant organs and their functions?

Answer 11

1. Leaves - catch sunlight - photosynthesis - exchange gases CO2 & O2
2. Stems - support the plant - moves substances through the plant
3. Roots - anchor the plant - absorbs H2O and minerals - stores food

Question 12

Question 19

Give some examples of Non-Vascular Plants?

Answer 19

Moss, Mushrooms and Lichen

Question 20

Name three plants that grow from spores?

Question 21

What is the difference between spores and seeds?

Answer 21

Spores are single celled and seeds have many cells.

Question 22

How are seeds better than spores?

Answer 22

Seeds have protective coverings that allow them to rest until the environment is right for growth.

Spores must sprout soon and must land in a moist environment, thus there is a greater chance of failure.

Question 23

How do Angiosperms differ from Gymnosperms?

Answer 23

Angiosperms produce seeds in flowers and fruit while Gymnosperm produce seeds in cones.

Question 24

Name the various ways that seeds can be dispersed?

Question 25

Be able to identify the parts of a flower?

Answer 25

DO IT.

Question 26

List the sequence of events that occur during pollination? - these events need to be in the correct order.

Answer 26

1. Pollen reaches the stigma
2. Pollen fertilizes the eggs inside the ovules
3. Ovules develop into seeds
4. The ovary becomes the fruit

Question 27

List the sequence of events that occur as seeds grow? - these events need to be put in the correct order.

Answer 27

1. The seed absorbs water and expands
2. The seed coat splits open
3. A stem grows upward / A root grows downward (at the same time)
4. Leaves develop

Question 28
