Plant Structures & Photosynthesis

What is the function of the roots in a plant's survival?

• To transport water and nutrients from the soil to the leaves

• To protect the reproductive parts of the plant from damage

• To produce food and oxygen through photosynthesis

• To attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds

What is the primary function of leaves in a plant's survival?

• To anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients

• To transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant

• To produce food and oxygen through photosynthesis

• To protect the plant from predators by having thorns or sharp edges

What is the role of petals in a plant's survival?

• To absorb water and nutrients from the soil

• To provide support for the plant

• To attract pollinators and protect the reproductive structures of the plant

• To transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant

What is the function of the stem in a plant's survival?

• To transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant

• To anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients

• To produce food and oxygen through photosynthesis

• To protect the plant from predators by containing toxic compounds

What are the stomata?

• Small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases

• Reproductive structures of the plant

• Toxic compounds that deter predators from eating the plant

• Chemicals secreted by the roots to repel pests and predators

What do stomata do during drought or when under attack by herbivores?

• They close to conserve water and prevent damage to the plant

• They open wider to absorb more water and nutrients

• They produce toxic compounds to deter predators

• They attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds

What is the location of photosynthesis in a plant?

• a) Roots

• b) Petals

• c) Stem

• d) Leaves

What is the importance of pollinators in a plant's survival?

• a) They help to anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients

• b) They protect the plant from predators by having thorns or sharp edges

• c) They produce food and oxygen through photosynthesis

• d) They assist in the reproduction of the plant by transferring pollen between flowers

9_What is the role of the roots in defending the plant against predators?

• a) They provide support for the plant

• b) They produce toxic compounds to deter predators

• c) They anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients

• d) They attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds

10_Which plant part transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant?

• a) Roots

• b) Petals

• c) Stem

• d) Leaves
