unit B sections 1 Flashcards
the function/structure of a stem is
transport water and nutrients, support the leaves and stores food
the function/structure of a leaf is
produces food, takes in and releases oxygen, holds water
the function/structure of a seed is
contain a embryo that will form a new plant
the function/structure of a cone/flower is
Both cones and flowers have male and female parts for reproduction.
osmosis
water from the soil enters root
capillary action
process that helps water movr thought a plant
transpiration
Water particles evaporate from the surface of the leaves and more water particles move up within the plant to take their place.
photosynthesis
Photosynthesis takes place in structures inside the leaves called chloroplasts.
making it green
cellular respiration
plants carbon deoxide and let oxygen into there cells
diffusion
diffusion happens when there is a difference in concentration. Particles move from an area of high concentration to low
seedling stage
Growth is very fast producing new leaves,roots, stems and their own photosynthesis.
adult stage
A plant is an adult when it produces _reproductive structures__ (flower or cone).
ovary
ovules contain the female part of the flower.
stigma
male part of the flower were the pollen is depositesd
nectar
what attractks pollinators
