Plant Anatomy and Photosynthesis Created by Debbie Richardson NNPS SOL Team Life Processes SOL: 4.4 The student will investigate and understand basic plant anatomy and life processes. Key Concepts: The Structures of Typical Plants • Leaves • Stems • Roots • Flowers Processes and Structures Involved in Reproduction • • • • • • Pollination Pistil Sepal Embryo Spore Seed Photosynthesis • • • • Chlorophyll Carbon dioxide Chloroplast Water Dormancy: resting state of a seed Plant Anatomy The__________ anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals which travel to all parts of the plant. roots The part of the plant that connects its roots and leaves is called the _______. stem The part of the plant that grows out of the stem and is the food-making factory of the plant is called the _____________. leaves The ____________ is the reproductive part of a flowering plant. Seeds are produced here. flower The ___________ is the male part of the flower. stamen The ___________ is the female part of the flower. It contains the eggs. pistil Plant Reproduction ______________ is the transfer of pollen grains from the stamen to the pistil. This process makes seeds. pollination The _________ is a tiny new plant formed by the fertilized egg. embryo A ___________ is a reproductive cell that can develop into a new organism. Ferns form these. spore Photosynthes is _________________ is the process of using light energy to combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (food). photosynthesi s ________________ is the green material in plants that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants a green color. chlorophyll _____________ is a gas in the air. Carbon dioxide Dormancy This is a resting state for a seed. A seed will remain dormant until it has water, oxygen and a certain temperature.
