Study Notes

Plant Structure and Function

  • A seed is necessary for a plant to grow, survive, and reproduce.
  • Roots grow underground from a seed, holding the plant in place and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
  • Roots store food (nutrients) for the plant to use later.

Stem

  • A stem provides support for the plant, similar to the human spine.
  • Stems transport water and food from the roots to the rest of the plant, comparable to veins moving blood through the body.

Leaves

  • Leaves grow from the stem and make food for the plant through photosynthesis.
  • Photosynthesis involves taking in sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, and producing oxygen and glucose.
  • Evergreen plants, like pine trees, make food all year long.
  • Leaves are essential for producing oxygen, which all living things need.

Flowers and Fruits

  • Flowers produce pollen, a powdery substance that helps plants make seeds.
  • Pollination occurs when animals, like bees, transfer pollen between flowers, allowing the plants to fertilize and reproduce.
  • Some plants rely on insects and birds for pollination, and grow colorful flowers to attract them.
  • Some flowers, like those on the blueberry bush, develop into fruits that protect the seeds of the plant.
