Understanding Plants and Pollination

What is photosynthesis?

• The process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

• The process by which plants absorb water from the soil.

• The process by which plants release oxygen into the air.

• The process by which plants grow roots.

What is chlorophyll?

• A type of soil nutrient.

• A green pigment in plants that absorbs light for photosynthesis.

• A type of plant hormone.

• A part of the plant's root system.

What is an organelle?

• A type of plant cell.

• A structure within a cell that performs a specific function.

• A type of plant tissue.

• A type of plant enzyme.

What is a chloroplast?

• A type of plant cell.

• An organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

• A type of plant tissue.

• A type of plant enzyme.

What is pollination?

• The process of fertilizing a plant by transferring pollen.

• The process of a plant growing new leaves.

• The process of a plant absorbing water.

• The process of a plant producing seeds.

What is a stamen?

• The part of a flower that forms the seeds. (Female Part)

• The part of a flower that makes pollen. (Male Part)

• A type of plant root.

What happens to a flower after it is pollinated?

• It immediately wilts and dies.

• It begins the process of seed formation.

• It stops photosynthesis.

• It grows new petals.

What is C6H12O6 from this formula for photosynthesis?

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is missing from this formula for photosynthesis?

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
