Module 3 Science

transport

What are the 5 plant structures?

precipitation

rain, hail, snow (any kind of water falling to earth)

transpiration

when leaves give off wator vapor into the air

absorption (absorb)

to take in water (like when we put a towel on a puddle of water)

reproduction

animals make babies and plants make seeds so we can have new animals and plants

function

what do we use it for? (the function of roots is to hold the plant in place so it doesn’t fall over AND to take in water and nutrients from the soil.)

flowering plants

plants that grow flowers

nonflowering plants

plants that don’t grow flowers

pollination

moving pollen (yellow stuff) from one flower to another flower. Usually bees and birds do this.
