Plant and Animal Systems Review

Front

What is germination?

Back

Germination is the process by which a seed develops into a new plant, involving the growth of the embryo and the emergence of the seedling.

Front

What is the role of gravity in seedling growth?

Back

Gravity influences the direction of growth in seedlings; roots typically grow downward (positive response), while shoots grow upward (negative response).

Front

What does phloem transport in plants?

Back

Phloem transports sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What is the primary function of xylem?

Back

The primary function of xylem is to transport water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

Which part of the plant is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Leaves are primarily responsible for photosynthesis, as they contain chlorophyll that captures sunlight.

Front

What is the function of the respiratory system?

Back

The respiratory system is responsible for exchanging gases, primarily removing carbon dioxide from the body and bringing in oxygen.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main components of a plant's vascular system?

Back

The main components of a plant's vascular system are xylem and phloem, which transport water, nutrients, and sugars.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb light energy.

Front

How do roots contribute to plant growth?

Back

Roots anchor the plant in the soil, absorb water and nutrients, and store energy.
