Science Unit 5 Quiz 1

Respiration

________- breaking down sugars to release energy.

Photosynthesis

________- To make food by using light.

Phloem

________- transports nutrients from roots + transports sugar from leaves.

Ovary

________- contains the egg.

Filament

________- stalk supporting anther.

Xylem

transports water from roots

Phloem

transports nutrients from roots + transports sugar from leaves

Photosynthesis

To make food by using light/CO2 + H20 + ENERGY → C6H1206+O2

Green pigment needed for photosynthesis

chlorophyll

Respiration

breaking down sugars to release energy/C6H1206+02 → CO2 + H20 + ENERGY

Stomata

Opening in leaf

Stamen

Male reproductive organ

Anther

pollen(sperm)

Filament

stalk supporting anther

Pistil

female reproductive organ

Stigma

receives pollen

Style

tube connecting stigma and ovary

Ovary

contains the egg

Pollinators

Insects, birds, animal fur, wind

Stem

Supports, food storage, transportation

Roots

Anchors, food storage, absorbs water + nutrients

Sexual Reproduction

genetic material of 2 parents

Asexual Reproduction

single parent - offspring will be identical

Flower

Contains plant’s reproductive organs - male, female, or both

Male reproductive organ

Stamen (anther + filament)

Female reproductive organ

Pistil (stigma, style, ovary)

Disadvantages of asexual reproduction

decrease in genetic diversity
