    This document provides information about plants and their functions. It discusses the three main functions of plants: nutrition, interaction, and reproduction. It describes photosynthesis and how plants make their own food. It also explains the different types of reproduction in plants, including sexual reproduction through pollination and fertilization, and asexual reproduction through spores, tubers, rhizomes, and stolons. Seasonal changes and how plants adapt to their environment are also covered.

    UNIT 1: Living

    organisms: plants.
    NATURAL SCIENCE.
    CEIP Beethoven
    2022-2023
    PLANTS carry out three vital functions:

    NUTRITION is the process of getting food to


    obtain energy or to grow and
    release waste.

    INTERACTION is the reaction to changes in


    the enviroment.

    REPRODUCTION is producing offspring.


    TYPES OF LIVING ORGANISMS

    - They are very simple


    - They are microscopic
    Examples: Examples: Examples:
    Fish Pine tree Mushrooms - They live in water
    Birds Rosemary Mould - They are microscopic
    Insects Poopy Yeast
    Humans
     Plants nutrition: photosynthesis.

    To make their own food, plants take simple substances from soil,
    air and light and perform the process of photosynthesis.

    Plants absorb:

    • Water and minerals from the


    soil through their roots. (xylem
    sap).

    • Carbon dioxide from the air.

    • Energy from sunlight.


    Photosynthesis.

    The process of photosynthesis uses


    the energy from sunlight, combined
    with carbon dioxide and water, to
    convert xylem sap into phloem sap,
    which feeds the plant, and expels
    oxygen as waste.
    Respiration in
    plants
     At night, when photosynthesis stops,

    plants need to take in OXYGEN from

    the air. During this time, they release

    CARBON DIOXIDE.
    The interaction function in plants
     Definition: How plants react and adapt to changes
     They don’t have sense organs

     They react to light, water or contact:


    • LIGHT:
     They grow towards sunlight.
     Flowers bloom depending on the light.
    • WATER:
     Roots grow and look for water.
    • CONTACT:
     Some plants grow over and around
    objects they touch.
    Plants and seasons
     Seasons affect plants greatly

     Spring time:
     Grow buds and leaves
     Produce flowers

     Autumn time:
     Some trees lose their leaves Decidious
     Some trees keep their leaves Evergreen
     Lose flowers
    The reproduction function in plants.
     Through the reproduction function, plants produce offspring.
    There are two types of reproduction :

    ASEXUAL
    SEXUAL

    FLOWERING TUBERS
    PLANTS

    SPORES RHIZOMES

    STOLONS
    SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
    1.Pollination It develops two types of processes:

     It is the arrival of pollen from the stamens of one flower to the


    pistil of another.

     Pollen is transported by pollinators (insects).

    2.Fertilisation.
    It is the union of the pollen grain and the egg (ovule), which
    is fertilised and develops into a seed.
    SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
    Seed and fruit formation
     The pistil changes size and shape and protects the seeds
    inside.

    Germination
     The development of the embryo cointained within the

    seed to form a new plant.
