Plant Structures and Functions

What is the function of leaves?

• Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis and gas exchange.

• Leaves provide structural support to the plant.

• Leaves store water and nutrients for the plant.

• Leaves are primarily for reproduction in plants.

What do stems do for a plant?

• Support the plant and transport water and nutrients between the roots and leaves.

• Store energy for the plant's growth.

• Absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.

• Protect the plant from herbivores.

How do plants adapt to their environment?

• By developing deep roots for water access

• By growing taller than other plants

• By producing more seeds than usual

• By changing color based on the season

What is photosynthesis?

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which animals convert food into energy.

• Photosynthesis is the method by which plants absorb nutrients from the soil.

• Photosynthesis is the way in which plants reproduce through seeds.
