Grammar and Plant Reproduction Quiz

Prepositional Phrases

• A prepositional phrase is a group of words starting with a preposition and ending with a noun or pronoun (object of the preposition)
• It shows direction, location, time, or relationship.
• Examples of prepositions: in, on, at, under, over, by, near, with, for, between
• Example: The cat is under the table. ("under the table" is the phrase, "under" is the preposition, "the table" is the object)

Modifiers (Adjectives and Adverbs)

• Adjectives: Describe nouns (things, people, places). Example: The blue car is fast. ("blue" describes the car)
• Adverbs: Describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often tell how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.
• Example: He ran quickly. ("quickly" describes how he ran)
• Example of adverbs: beautifully, soon, loudly

Plant Reproduction

• Plants reproduce sexually or asexually.

Sexual Reproduction

• Involves flowers to make seeds

• Two parts:

  • Pollination: Transfer of pollen (from stamen) to pistil (by wind, insects, or animals)
  • Fertilization: Sperm from pollen joins with egg in pistil, forming a seed

• Steps:

  1. Flower blooms, is pollinated
  2. Pollination occurs. Pollen travels to the pistil.
  3. Fertilization occurs (sperm joins with egg), ovary forms a seed
  4. Seed grows into a new plant (needs water, soil, sunlight)

Asexual Reproduction

• Plants make new plants without seeds or flowers
• A part (leaf, stem, or root) of a plant grows into a new plant.
• Example:
  • Strawberries reproduce through runners. A new plant grows from a shoot connected to the parent plant.
  • Potatoes grow new plants from "eyes" on the potato.
• Results in a clone (same characteristics) of the parent plant
