77
Q

Provide the definition of the term:

Transpiration

A

When plants release water vapor via the stomata

78
Q

Complete the statement with the best available option:

Transpiration occurs mostly during…

A. Daytime
B. Nighttime
C. Dusk
D. Storms

A

A. Daytime

Added Information/Explanation:

Transpiration occurs mostly during the daytime because of the presence of sunlight. Sunlight stimulates photosynthesis, which leads to the opening of stomata to allow for the intake of carbon dioxide. Additonally, during the daytime, temperatures are often higher, creating a greater gradient for water movement from the plant to the surrounding air.

79
Q

A plant’s version of “sweating” would be what?

A

Transpiration

80
Q

After being provided the definition, name the term:

Plants reacting to stimulation

A

Tropisms

81
Q

Give three different examples of tropisms, and what each of them mean.

A
  1. Phototropism - Plants responding to light
  2. Thigmotropism - Plants responding to touch
  3. Gravitropism - Plants growing according to gravitational pull
82
Q

True or false? If false, correct the statement:

Plants can detect the change in seasons.

A

True

83
Q

What are some responses to seasonal changes?

clarifier: think about in winter what happens to plants/trees

A
  • Loss of flowers
  • Loss of leafs
84
Q

How does a plant know when a season changes?

clarifier: when plants lose flowers, how do they know it’s winter?

A
  • Change in temperature
  • Change in water amount
