Plant Structures and Processes

Seed plants are the largest group of plants. Each seed plant part has specific functions.
Roots absorb water and nutrients, anchoring the plant.
Stems transport water and food, supporting leaves and flowers.
Leaves produce food for the plant, exchanging gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and allowing water to exit.
Flowers are reproductive structures.
Seeds contain an embryo and a food supply for the developing plant.

Moving Water in Plants

Osmosis: A type of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane.
Capillary action: Water is attracted to itself and to the tube walls, moving it upward.
Xylem: Plant tissue that transports water from roots to leaves.
Transpiration: The loss of water through evaporation from leaves.
Active transport: Moves substances against a concentration gradient, needing energy.

Plant Food Production

Chlorophyll: Pigment that makes leaves green, trapping sunlight for energy.
Photosynthesis: Process that converts light energy into chemical energy (sugar).
Ingredients for Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide and water
Products of Photosynthesis: Sugar and oxygen.

Using Food in Plants

Cellular Respiration: A process where plants release stored energy from sugar in the presence of oxygen.
Products of Cellular Respiration: Energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Explore the essential parts of seed plants and their functions, including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Delve into how plants transport water and nutrients through various processes such as osmosis and capillary action. This quiz will enhance your understanding of plant physiology and food production.
