Inspire Science 5th Gr. Unit 2 Lesson 1 - Plant Survival

Front

What is the function of xylem in plants?

Back

Xylem is the tissue in plants that carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves of plants.

Front

Which gas do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide to produce energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of roots in plants?

Back

Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, anchoring the plant in place.

Front

What are stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow air to enter and exit the leaf.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make their own food.

Front

What do phloem tissues do?

Back

Phloem tissues transport sugars and nutrients produced by photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

Why is water important for plants?

Back

Water is essential for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining plant structure.

Front

What is the process of water movement from roots to leaves called?

Back

The process is called transpiration pull, where water moves up through the xylem.

Front

How do plants release oxygen?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, primarily through stomata.
