growth 1. How do we call plant male sex cells? We call plan male sex cells pollen grains
2. How do we call plant female sex cells? We call plant female sec cells Egg cells 3. Colour the plant part so that you can part them. 4. Flowers Pant part Function Sepals
they protect the flower in the bud Petals
attracts insects Nectar
nutrient for the insect Stamens
male sex organ Makes the pollen Carpels
Female sex organ
Ovule
The ovule contains the (female) egg cell. 5. Do all plants have the same basic plan? Yes, all plants have the same basic plan. There are many different types of flowers. Each have there own shapes and numbers of petals, stamens and carpels. 6. Explain why there are differences in: Colour Because certain colours attract different kind of insects/animals. Petal arrangements The petal arrangements are made that an insect gets the pollen on his body. Number of stamens The number of stamens depend on the plant species and if they are insect- or wind pollinated. Number of carpels The number of carpels depend on the plant species and if they are insect- or wind pollinated.
7. What is pollination? Pollination is The transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower to the carpel of a flower from the same specie!!
8. Carpel 9. Pant part Function Stigma
The landing place for the pollen Style
Joins the stigma to the ovary A pollen tube grows down the style after pollination. Ovary wall
Protects the ovary Ovule
Inside the ovula is the eggs Egg cell nucleus
Contains the genetic information of the plant (halve of it) Micropyle
10. In what ways do flowers attract insects? Flowers attract insects by The colourful flowers The nectar inside the flower.
11. Why does the insect reach down into the first flower? An insect will reach down into the first flower to get the nectar.
12. How does the insect carry pollen to the second flower? An insect carries the pollen to others flowers because it sticks on the body of the insect. 13. Where does the insect leave the pollen in the second flower? The insect needs to leave the pollen on the stigma of the plant 14. Why do the anthers hang outside the flower? The anthers of a wind pollinated flower hang outside the flower so that the wind can pick up the pollen. 15. Why are the stigmas so large and feathery? So that there is a bigger chance that a pollen can land on it.
16. Why is so much pollen made? So that there is a bigger chance that a pollen reaches a stigma.
17. Why is the pollen so light? The pollen is so light because the wind has to carry it.
18. Insect flower Wind flower Petals Colourful, fragrant , and big green and small Anthers inside the flower, but under the stigma hanging outside the flower Stigma inside the flower, but above the anthers large and feathery Pollen sticky an d a small amount lots of, smooth, light 19. What is self-pollination The pollen from the anthers of one flower lands on the stigma of the same flower. 20. What is cross-pollination The pollen from the anther of one flower lands on a stigma of another flower of the same species.
21. Arrow 1 = self-pollination Arrow 2 = cross-pollination Arrow 3 = self-pollination Arrow 4 = no pollination 22. What happens in fertilisation? A pollen nucleus joins with an egg nucleus 23. What is a pollen tube? A pollen tube is a tube that is formed after pollination by a chemical reaction. It goes down the style to the ovary, ovule the micropyle and then the egg.
24. What do you think the fertilised egg grows into? The fertilised egg grows into a embryo
25. What do you think the ovule grows into? The ovule grows into a seed 26. What do you think the ovary grows into? The ovary grows into a fruit.
28. Why do the petals fall off after fertilisation? They have done there job (attracting insects) 29. Each seed is made up of? Each seed is made up of: The embryo A food store Testa (a seed coat)
30. What is the function of the fruit? The function of the fruit is to spread the seeds dispersal
31. Name the three ways a fruit can be spread. Three ways to spread fruit are: By the wind By an animal Self-dispersal 32. What is germination? Germination is when the embryo begins to grow.
33. What is a radicle? A radicle is a new root.
34. What is a plumule? A plumule is a new shoot.
35. Where do the plumule and the radicle get there food from when there are no leaves? They get there food from the food store. (part of the seed)
36. What is photosynthesis? The process in a plant so that it can makes its own food. carbon dioxide+water+LIGHT glucose+oxygen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHmwIZ9FNw 37. What is a cotyledons? A cotyledon is the food store in a bean 38. What are the conditions for germination? The right conditions for germination are: Water So that the seed van swell and burst open. Oxygen For respiration Respiration: oxygen + glucose carbon dioxide + water + energy Warmth Needed for proper growth
39. How does a animal grows? An animal can grow because of the cell division in its body.
40. How does a plant grows? A plant can grow because of the cell division.
42. What is auxin? Auxin is a hormone made in the shoot tip and root tips.
41. Where does the growth takes place in a plant? Mainly in the root tips and the shoot tips.
43. What is the function of auxin? Auxin stimulates the shoot to grow and causes the cells to elongate. Auxin prevents side-shoots forming when it passes back from the tip of a stem.
44. What is tropisms? A growth response from a plant. A response can be to things like light, gravity and water. 45. What is phototropism? A response to light. 45. What is meant by positively phototropic? When a shoot grows toward the light.
46. What is geotropism? A response to gravity.
47. What is positively geotropic? When something grows toward the gravity.
48. Which part of a plant are positively geotropic? The part of the plant that is positively geotropic are the roots
49. What is negatively geotropic? When something grows in the other direction of the gravity.
50. Which part of the plant is negatively geotropic? The part of the plant that is negatively geotropic are the shoots.
