This document discusses plant classification, structure, reproduction, nutrition, and respiration. It describes the key characteristics of different plant groups like trees, grasses, and bushes. It explains that plants reproduce through seeds or spores and can be flowering or non-flowering. The document also outlines the process of photosynthesis, whereby plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce their own food in the form of sugar.

Plant classification
There are many different types of plants which we can classify in different ways.
Grasses or herbaceous plants have
a soft stem. They are thin and flexible and usually short.
Bushes have a thick, hard
stem with low branches.
Trees have one thick, hard
stem called a trunk. They are the tallest plants and have high branches. They can be deciduous (if they lose their leaves in autumn) or evergreen (they have leaves throughout the year). Plant reproduction
How do new plants grow?
Plants can be classified as flowering or non-flowering plants.
FLOWERING PLANTS NON-FLOWERING PLANTS
Some flowering plants produce fruit They don´t produce flowers and with seeds inside. These plants are most of them reproduce through called angiosperms and include spores. plants such as roses, apple trees, Mosses and ferns don´t produce cherry trees, blackberry bushes and seeds. They produce tiny spores grasses such as rice and wheat. which they release into the air. Other flowering plants have very small flowers and don´t produce fruit. Their seeds develop inside cones. These plants are called gymnosperms. Evergreen trees such as the pine tree belong to this group.

The carpel is the part of the flower where ovary
the seeds develop. It includes the stigma which receives the pollen and the ovary. The For plants to reproduce, the pollen The pistil has ovules ovary grows into a fruit which has seeds has to travel from the stamen to the inside. (Female inside. When the fruit falls to the ground, a reproductive organ) stigma in a process known as new plant can grow from the seed. pollination. Pollination
Pollination is an important process in the reproduction of plants that have
seeds. It is the transfer of pollen from a stamen to a carpel.
Animal pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma of another plant or of the same plant by an insect or a bird.
Wind pollination involves wind blowing the pollen from one plant to another.
We can also classify plants by how they reproduce:

How do plants make their own food?
Plants make their own food. To do this they need water, minerals, light and energy from the Sun and carbon dioxide.
During the process of
photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air.
The roots absorb water and
minerals from the soil. Roots also fix the plant in the soil.
The water and minerals travel up the stem to the leaves
passing through the stem vessels.
Plants make food in their leaves. Leaves have tiny pores called stomata through which carbon dioxide enters the plant. Plants also release oxygen through the stomata. The leaves are made up of very small cells. Inside these cells are tiny structures called chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains a green chemical called chlorophyll which gives leaves their green colour and absorbs the light from the sun. Leaves use the light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen.
WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE SUGAR + OXYGEN
(With light energy) Respiration
Plants are living things and so they need to breathe, just like people and animals. During the day they can also use the oxygen they produce during the photosynthesis process. At night, however, they must take in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide.
Respiration occurs in every cell of the plant. Sugar is transported to all
plant parts. Some sugar is stored and some is used for respiration producing energy and releasing water and carbon dioxide.

RESPIRATION
In photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen in the
presence of light.
In respiration plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Photosynthesis and respiration help in maintaining a balance between
