Flower

Attracts pollinators to spread pollen

Parts of the Flower

1. Pistil

Female reproductive organ, includes

1.

Stigma

2.

Style

3.

Ovule

4.

Ovary

2. Stigma

Receptive, sticky tip to trap pollen grains

3. Style

Connects stigma to ovary

4. Ovule

Produces female gametes, seed of plant (embryo - if fertilized)

5. Ovary

houses/protects ovules, fleshy part of fruit

Multiple Select

The female reproductive system of a plant is made of which 3 organs?

• Stigma

• Anther

• Style

• filament

• Ovary

12. Stamen

Male Reproductive organ, includes

1.

Pollen grains

2.

Anther

3.

filament

9. Pollen Grain

Male gametes used to fertilize ovules of ovary

10. Anther

Located at end of filament, produces pollen grains

11. Filament

Stock that holds anther, location of pollen

Multiple Select

The male reproductive system of the plant is made of which two organs?

• Stigma

• Anther

• Style

• Filament

• Ovary

Photosynthesis

Sunlight and CO2 are absorbed into the
leaf. Sugar/Glucose is made to feed the
plant and O2 is released for us humans
to breathe.

Thorn

Protects from predators

Stem

Helps support leaves; has tubes that
carry water, nutrients, and food
throughout the plant

Phloem

Takes sugar/glucose from leaves to rest
of the plant

Xylem

Takes water from the roots up to rest of
the plant

Leaves

Location of photosynthesis

Stomata (stoma): pores in leaf where
water/gases move in/out of leaf

Guard cells: control the opening/closing
of stomata

Roots

Soaks up water from the ground,
keeps plant grounded

Tap Root: single root, spreads
horizontally (carrot)

Fibrous Root: small, thick roots
anchor plant to ground (grass)

In Your Groups...

The stem is a strong, sturdy structure that helps provide support for the plant while providing protection for the vascular system. The vascular system of plants provides transportation of water and nutrients.

What 2 body systems are similar to the functions of the stem and vascular system of the plant?

What 2 body systems are similar to the functions of the stem and vascular system of the plant?

Multiple Choice

When a tree suffers from a decreased ability to transport materials within the phloem, what is directly impacted?

• volume of water in the xylem

• flow of necessary nutrients

• response to environmental factors

• rate of photosynthesis in leaves

Multiple Choice

Which of the following structures is an opening on the underside of a leaf that is necessary for gas exchange?

• stoma

• epidermis

• shoot

• cuticle

Multiple Choice

A plant’s shoot system and root system interact through specialized tissues.  The main function of the xylem is to ―

• transport sugars down the plant from the leaves

• transport water and minerals up from the roots

• allows gas exchange on the ventral side of the leaf

• form a protective layer on the outside of annual plants

Each plant organ helps support the plant in the following
systems:

Transport: Responsible for the movement of water, minerals, and food to travel to
all parts of the plant

Structures/Organs

1.

Stem (Xylem/Phloem)

2.

Leaves (stomata/guard cells)

3.

Roots

Each plant organ helps support the plant in the following
systems:

Reproduction: Responsible for the continuation of plant species by sexual or asexual means

Pollination ‐The transfer of pollen from the anthers of a flower to the stigma

of the same flower (asexual) or of another flower (sexual).

Structures/Organs

‐Male Portion: Stamen (Anther and Filament)

‐Female Portion: Pistal ( Stigma, Style, and Ovary)

Each plant organ helps support the plant in the following
systems:

Response: Allows plant to receive information from their surrounds and translate it
into some type of action

Tropisms: process where plants receive information from the environment

and translate it into a response:

‐Thigmotropism: responds to touch (vines)

‐Phototropism: responds to light

‐Hydrotropism: responds to water

‐Gravitotropism: responds to gravity

Multiple Choice

The structures of the dermal and vascular systems work together to transport and provide materials essential for photosynthesis.  Which statement correctly identifies how they work together?

• The xylem transports glucose to the roots for storage, and the phloem allows oxygen to enter the leaf.

• The xylem transports water from the roots, and the stomata allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaf.

• The phloem transports water for transpiration, and the stomata allows oxygen to enter the leaf.

• The stomata transports glucose from the roots, and the phloem allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaf.

Multiple Choice

A flower that has both male and female reproductive structures is shown. Which statement best describes an interaction that will allow a flowering plant to reproduce by self-pollination?

• An anther is transferred from a filament to another filament within the same flower.

• An ovule is transferred from the ovary to a petal on a different flower

• A pollen grain is transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower.

• An ovary is transferred from a flower on one plant to a flower on a different plant. 

Multiple Choice

How do plant structures work together to maintain a balance of water inside the plant?

• Shoots control water absorption, and roots control water evaporation.

• Roots control water absorption, and leaves control water evaporation.

• Leaves control water absorption, and roots control water evaporation.

• Roots control water absorption, and shoots control water evaporation.
