Plants, Flowers, and Seeds Study Guide

Test Date: FRIDAY, February 28th


**Detailed information on these topics can be found in the student’s notebook
Label Plant Parts and Describe Function:
*roots - absorb water and nutrients from the soil
*Leaf - where photosynthesis makes food (sugar) for the plant
*stem - carries water and food up and down the plant
*flower - attracts insects to pollinate the plant

Roots: Name the 4 types of roots, describe them, give one example
*Fibrous - fine, hair like roots - might be thousands in one plant (grass)
*Aerial Root - root systems attach to other plants (orchids)
*Taproot - one long, thick root (carrots)
*Prop Root - props the base of the plant up above soil (corn)

Stems: Describe the difference between a woody stem and soft stem.

Leaves: Identify a picture of each type and give an example


*Simple leaf - one leaf, Ex: Maple Tree
*Compound leaf - multiple leaves together Ex: Fern
*Needle - Long, skinny needle-like leaf Ex: Pine Tree

Plant Life Cycle: Know the “Circle of Life” for a plant *diagram in notebook!
Seed - germination - seedling - young plant - mature plant

Photosynthesis: Describe this process, explaining how sun, water, and


oxygen are combined to make food (sugar) for the plant, and explain that
the plant eliminates waste as oxygen

Parts of a Flower - use the diagram to study


Parts of a Seed - use the diagram to study - Know Monocot vs Dicot
Understand how seeds are transferred: water, wind, animals
Essay: Why are plants so important in an ecosystem?
