Plant Structures & Functions

What is the main function of the roots in a plant?

• Providing shade to other plants

• Attracting pollinators

• Regulating temperature

• Anchoring the plant, absorbing water and nutrients, and storing food.

How do leaves help plants?

• Leaves provide structural support to the plant.

• Leaves attract pollinators to the plant.

• Leaves capture sunlight for photosynthesis.

• Leaves store excess water for the plant.

What is the purpose of the stem in a plant?

• Photosynthesis, reproduction, and defense

• Absorption, excretion, and respiration

• Protection, attraction, and camouflage

• Structural support, transport, and storage

Explain the role of flowers in plant reproduction.

• Flowers produce gametes, attract pollinators, and develop into fruits containing seeds.

• Flowers are used for photosynthesis

• Flowers help in water absorption

• Flowers store excess nutrients

What is photosynthesis and why is it important for plants?

• Photosynthesis is a harmful process that damages plant cells and inhibits growth.

• Photosynthesis is not important for plants as they can survive without it.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose and oxygen. It is important for plants as it provides them with the necessary energy to grow, develop, and reproduce.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert water into energy to produce carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Describe the function of the chloroplast in a plant cell.

• Chloroplasts aid in cellular respiration in plant cells.

• Chloroplasts store water in plant cells.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

• Chloroplasts regulate cell division in plant cells.

What are the different parts of a flower and their functions?

• Stigma - protects the flower bud

• Pistil - produces pollen

• Petals - attract pollinators, Sepals - protect the flower bud, Stamen - produces pollen, Pistil - female reproductive part, Ovary - contains ovules, Style - connects stigma to ovary, Stigma - receives pollen

• Ovary - attracts pollinators

How do plants obtain water and nutrients from the soil?

• Plants obtain water and nutrients from the soil through their roots.

• Plants obtain water and nutrients from the sun through photosynthesis.

• Plants obtain water and nutrients from the air through their leaves.

• Plants obtain water and nutrients from other plants through symbiosis.

Explain the process of pollination in plants.

• Pollination involves transferring pollen grains from the roots to the leaves of a plant.

• Pollination occurs through the exchange of water between different plant species.

• Pollination in plants involves transferring pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower.

• Pollination is a process where plants absorb sunlight to reproduce.

What is the importance of seeds in the life cycle of a plant?

• Plants can grow without seeds.

• Seeds contain genetic material and nutrients essential for plant growth and development.

• Seeds are harmful to the environment.

• Seeds are only used for decoration in gardens.
