Worksheet 2

Unit A, Chapter 1, Lesson 2 “Plants”

A) Answer the following Questions:
1) How do roots and stems help move water and nutrients through a plant?
Roots contain a tiny tubes called root hairs, which absorb water and
nutrients from the soil and pass it to the xylem tissue to transfer it to the
stem and to the rest of plants part.
2) How does water travel from plant`s root to its stem?
Through the xylem
3) How are asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction different in
plants?
Asexual reproduction requires one individual to produce spores
Sexual reproduction requires 2 individual to produce seeds.
4) What would happen to some flowering plants if there were suddenly no
pollinators?
Plants that depend on pollinators would become extinct, because they could
not reproduce.
5) Why the production of spores is an example of asexual reproduction?
Because it requires only one individual to be produce.
B) Complete the following:
1) What structure holds a plant up and supports its leaves? Stem
2) Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from an anther to a stigma.
3) Photosynthesis is a process in plants that uses sunlight, water, minerals,
and carbon dioxide to make food.
4) Root anchor the plants in the ground, store food, and absorb water from
the soil.
5) Eggs is found inside the ovary of a flower, when it is fertilized, a seed
grows.
6) Sexual reproduction make more individuals of the same species when
male and female sex cells are united.
7) Seeds contain a tiny plant and some stored food to help it grow.
8) Roots absorb Water and Nutrients form the soil.
9) Sexual reproduction requires a Male cell and Female cell to produce a new
plant.
10) The stigma, style and ovary make up the female sex organ which is
called Pestil
11) Stamen is the male sex organ of the flower it consists of Anther and
filament.
12) Zygot Is the union of the male and female sex cell?
13) Root hair increase the surface area of the root, allowing the plant to
absorb greater amount of water.
14) Cuticle is a waxy layer that covering the upper epidermis.
15) A tiny pores that found on the lower epidermis is called Stomata
16) Guard cells surround the stomata to control the amount of air
entering and the amount of water exiting the plant.
17) Chloroplast is a structure inside the plant cell where photosynthesis
occurs.
18) Chlorophyll is the green pigment that is responsible for the
absorption of sunlight during photosynthesis.
19) Flowering plant reproduces by Sexual reproduction, while
nonflowering plants reproduce by asexual reproduction.
20) Reproductions the production of more individuals of the same
species.
21) There are two types of pollinations self, and cross.
22) Self-pollination is a type of pollination that occurs when pollen is
transferred from an anther to a stigma on the same flower.
23) Organisms that transfer pollen from flower to flower, such s birds
and insects are called Pollinators.
24) Spores is a cell that doesn’t contain food for the young, developing
plants.
