Investigating Plant Systems and Homeostasis

Front

What are the levels of organization in plants?

Back

Plants are made up of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Front

What does the reproductive system for a plant consist of?

Back

The reproductive system of a plant consists of flowers and fruits.

Front

What is nastic movement in plants?

Back

Nastic movement is a plant's response to stimuli that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus, such as the Venus flytrap closing.

Front

What is phototropism?

Back

Phototropism is the growth of a plant in response to light, where the plant bends towards the light source.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from the pores (stomata) on plant leaves.

Front

What are xylem and phloem?

Back

Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars produced by photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the release of oxygen and the uptake of carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the difference between tropism and nastic movement?

Back

Tropism is a directional growth response to a stimulus, while nastic movement is a non-directional response.

Front

What is hydrotropism?

Back

Hydrotropism is the growth of plant roots towards moisture.
