Front 1

a type of seed;

an angiosperm with two cotyledons in each seed;

Back 1

dicot

Front 2

a type of seed;

an angiosperm with one cotyledon in each seed

Back 2

monocot

Front 3

the sprouting of a seed into a new plant;

when a seed starts to grow into a new plant

Back 3

germination

Front 4

the part of the plant that absorbs water and minerals from the soil and sends them to other parts of the plant;

helps hold the plant in the ground;

stores food for the plant

Back 4

roots

Front 5

when the shoot grows above ground, it grows a ____________ stem;


when the soot grows below ground, it grows a ___________ stem

Back 5

woody



soft

Front 6

the loss of water through a plant's leaves, which draws water up through the plant to replace it

Back 6

transpiration

Front 7

a green chemical in plant cells that allows plants to use the Sun's energy for making food

Back 7

chlorophyll

Front 8

What do plants need to make their own food?

_______, _______, and _______

Back 8

water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide

Front 9

the food-making process in green plants that uses sunlight

Back 9

photosynthesis

Front 10

Why are plants important to the environment?

Back 10

Plants release oxygen for animals to breathe. Plants also provide food for animals.

Front 11

The process of obtaining and using oxygen in the body.

The release of energy in plants from food (sugar).

Back 11

respiration

Front 12

Plants give off _______________ into the air.

A product of photosynthesis.

Back 12

oxygen

Front 13

the transfer of a pollen grain to the egg-producing part of a plant

Back 13

pollination

Front 14

a undeveloped plant with stored food sealed in a protective covering;

what is formed when pollination and fertilization occur

Back 14

seed

Front 15

the part of the flower that is brightly colored and lets off a sweet smell which attracts insects;

(in turn this helps to insure pollination of new plants)

Back 15

petals

Front 16

Name the two general categories of trees.

Back 16

broad-leafed and conifers

Front 17

Name three ways in which seeds travel.

Back 17

Wind

Animals/Insects/People

Rain/floods/streams

Front 18

What is the importance of seed dispersal (spreading them out)?

Back 18

Dispersal of a seed carries the new seed away from the parent or any other competing plants to insure the successful development of the offspring (new plants).

Front 19

Name and explain 2 reasons why plants are important.

Back 19

Plants give off oxygen that animals and humans need to live.

Plants provide food for animals and humans.
