Question 7

Difference between cross pollination and self pollination

Answer 7

Answer 8

When plant reproduce to produce seeds

Question 9

Question 10

What are producers

Answer 10

Question 11

How do producers convert materials found in their environment into glucose

Answer 11

Using sunlight

Question 12

Define photosynthesis

Answer 12

the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Question 13

How do plants get the carbon dioxide they need

Answer 13

From air through their leaves which moves by diffusion through stomata

Question 14

What controls the size of stomata

Answer 14

Guard cells so the leaf does not lose too much water from hot, windy, dry conditions

Question 15

What do fitting cells do

Answer 15

Spongy layer found in the lower part of the plant which lets carbon dioxide reach the other cells in the leaf

Question 16

Hold plants in place as they grow and absorb water and minerals from soil. It’s found in the outside surface of roots

Question 19

What do xylem cells do

Answer 19

They run inside stems of plants from their roots to their leaves. The cells die and the ends break down which allows them to form long tubes to carry water upwards for photosynthesis. Xylem transports water from roots to other parts of the plant
