What is the function of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases, primarily carbon dioxide and oxygen, to enter and exit the leaf.

Which part of the flower is responsible for attracting pollinators?

Back

Petals are the brightly colored parts of flowers that attract insects and other pollinators.

Front

What is the primary function of the phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients and sugars produced by photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What are the male reproductive parts of a flower called?

Back

The male reproductive parts of a flower are called stamens, which produce pollen.

Front

What is the role of guard cells in plants?

Back

Guard cells surround stomata and control their opening and closing, regulating gas exchange and water loss.

Front

Where does photosynthesis primarily occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves, specifically in the chloroplasts of leaf cells.

Front

What is the function of the xylem in plants?

Back

Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is the purpose of petals in flowering plants?

Back

Petals serve to attract pollinators with their color and scent, aiding in the reproduction of the plant.

Front

What is the difference between the male and female reproductive parts of a flower?

Back

The male reproductive parts (stamens) produce pollen, while the female reproductive parts (pistils) contain ovules and develop into seeds.

Front

What is transpiration in plants?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from the plant's surface, primarily through stomata, helping to regulate temperature and nutrient transport.
