Plants & Animals​

Open Ended

Why are plants living things?

Multiple Choice

Are plants eukaryotes or prokaryotes?

• Plants are eukaryotes.

• Plants are prokaryotes.

• I have no idea!

Multiple Choice

Why are plants eukaryotes?

• They are made of one cell.

• They are made of many cells.

• They are made of many cells and each cell has a nucleus with DNA.

• they can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

Multiple Choice

Are plants autotrophs or heterotrophs?

• Plants are autotrophs.

• Plants are heterotrophs.

• I don't know!

Open Ended

Why are plants autotrophs?

Open Ended

Do plants move around to get their food? Explain.

Open Ended

How are plants and animals alike?

share at least three similarities.

Open Ended

share at least three differences.

Open Ended

What are the three main parts of land plants?

Open Ended

What are the functions of the roots?

Open Ended

What are the functions of the stem?

Open Ended

What are the functions of the leaves?

1- leaves

2- stem or branch

3- roots​

3 main parts of a land plant:

​

three major functions:

1- They absorb water & nutrients from the soil.

2- They anchor the plant to the ground.​

3- They store food & nutrients.​

Roots

The stem is where leaves, flowers, cones and buds grow.

The stem provides support and stores food for the plant. ​

Stem​

​

two functions:

1- to capture light energy

2- gas exchange​

Leaves

Multiple Choice

Where are stomata located on the leaves?

• on the underside of the leaf.

• on the top side of the leaf.

• in the middle of the leaf (between the upper and lower sides)

Open Ended

What is the main function of a stoma?

Open Ended

What are the main functions of the chloroplasts?

Specialized structures located on the underside of the leaves.

Each stoma is a small opening through which oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide can move.​

Stomata

Specialized cell structures where food is made.

Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight and give the plants their green color. ​

Chloroplasts

What is photosynthesis?

Multiple Select

What do plants need to make their own food?

Choose all that apply.

• water

• oxygen

• glucose

• sunlight

• Carbon Dioxide

Fill in the Blank

Where does photosynthesis take place in the plant?

(in which part of the plant)

Fill in the Blank

Which specialized structures allow the carbon dioxide to enter the leaves of the plant?

Fill in the Blank

Which specialized structures in the plant cells make food for the plant?

Multiple Select

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Choose all that apply.

• glucose

• water

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• Sunlight

Open Ended

Why do plants produce glucose and oxygen?

All plants undergo photosynthesis to make food. Plants take in carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce food.
