​Plants are Living Systems

Lesson 3 ​

​What is this plant doing?

• All plants are multicellular

• They are eukaryotes

  • cells contain membrane-bound organelles

  • nucleus

• Their cells ha​ve a cell wall and large vacuoles

• Use energy from sunlight to create their own food through photosynthesis.

​

​Plants live on every continents on Earth.

​

Fill in the Blanks

• ​Plant's structure and function of their body system can by divided into two major groups

• Vascular system:​ transports materials and provides support

• Vascular and non-vasculra

​The Plant Body System

​

Multiple Choice

Plants can be divided into _____ major groups based on the structure and function of their body systems.

• three

• one

• two

• four

​Plants are made of cells with rigid cell walls that provide support and structure.

​​Plant Cells

​

• ​Dermal tissue: protects the plant

• Vascular tissue: transports material

​​Plant Tissue

​

​Leaves, stems, roots and flowers

​​Plant Organs

​

• ​Shoot system: leaves, stem, flowers

• Root system: transports water & nutrients

​​Plant Organ Systems

​

Multiple Choice

The shoot system includes _________.

• stems, leaves, roots, flowers

• sticks, leaves, rotten, flowers

• leaves, roots, flowers

• flowers, stems, rocks, leevee

​How Plant Systems Process Nutrients

• Plants bodies perform all the functions needed for the plant to live

• Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make and transport their food

• ​They need oxygen to convert the food to energy

• Nutrients from the soil (nitrogen and phosphorus) are use for cellular process and growth

• ​The plant has to get rid of unwanted wastes to stay healthy

Open Ended

Why do plants need to get rise of wastes?

• ​Plants create their own food through photosynthesis

• ​The leaf is the plant organ that is the main site of photosynthesis

​

​Making Food

​

Draw

What is the the plant's main site of photosynthes

• ​Water and dissolved nutrients enter the plant through the roots

• ​Roots anchor the plant in the ground

• ​Stems transport nutrients and support the plant

​

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

​Moving Material

​

Multiple Choice

Where does water enter the plant through?

• stem

• roots

• leaves

• flower

​Disposing of Wastes

• Plants produce waste as a result of photosynthesis

• ​Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen enter and exit the plant through stomata

• Some plants store wastes in leaves

• Unwanted materials are removed when the leaves fall from the plant​

Multiple Choice

Tiny openings in the leaf surface are called _______.

• stomach

• stomatoe

• stomata

• stomuter
