Parts of a Flower
#1 What is the main female part called? Pistil
#2 What is the main male part called? Stamen
#3 What are the two parts that make up the stamen? Anther and Filament
#4 What are the four parts that make up the Pistil? Stigma, Style, Ovary and Ovules
#5 Name the four Other parts of a flower (not male or female) Petal, Sepal, Receptacle and Roots
Functions of Flower Parts
#1 Which part produces pollen and is it male or female? The Anther which is Male
#2 What is the job of the stigma and is it male or female? Sticky so it catches pollen and it's female
#3 Why are petals of a flower so colorful? To attract certain insects
#4 What is the job of the sepal? To protect the flower bud when it is young
#5 What is the difference between pollination and fertilization? Pollination is how pollen gets from the anther to stigma and Fertilization is how pollen fertilizes the ovules
Plant Leaves
#1 What is transpiration? When water evaporates through tiny holes of a plant leaf
#2 What do we call tiny holes in a plants leaves? Stomata
#3 What surrounds the stomata and helps regulate transpiration? Guard Cells
#4 What is the epidermis of a plant leaf? The outermost layer that houses the choloroplasts
#5 What three things work together to help prevent water loss? Epidermis, Stomata and Guard Cells
Photosynthesis
#1 What is the main purpose of photosynthesis? For plants to make food/glucose
#2 What does photosynthesis require? Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight/Energy
#3 What products are produced/released during photosynthesis? Glucose and Oxygen
#4 When does photosynthesis happen? During the day when sunlight is available
#5 Where does photosynthesis occur? In the presence of chlorophyll/green plants
Cellular Respiration
#1 What is the main purpose of Cellular Respiration? To break down food for energy
#2 What does cellular respiration require? Glucose/food and oxygen
#3 What products are produced/released during cellular respiration? Carbon Dioxide, Water and Energy
#4 When does cellular respiration happen? Anytime...day or night
#5 Where does cellular respiration occur? In all living things
Final Question
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration complementary processes? The products of one are requirements of the other...They need each other to keep going!
