Term
| How could root structure determine a plants ability to survive in its environment? |
|
Definition
| Root structure affects how much water and nutrients the roots can absorb. If the soil is lacking nutrients the roots need to grow deeper, or have many hairs for more surface area with which to collect water and nutrients |

Term
| What do seeds need to germinate? |
|
Definition
| Some seeds need to be treated with severe cold, or with heat before they will germinate. This simulates natural conditions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-The process of water traveling through the plant
-A water molecule is lost through the stomata by evaporation
-Since water molecules stick together, they pull each other up, one after the other
-As one evaporates, another is pulled up to take its place |
|
|
Term
| What environmental factors affect transpiration? |
|
Definition
-Humidity
-Wind
-Sunlight
-Temperature
-Soil Moisture |

Term
| Joseph Priestly Experiments |
|
Definition
| -Because when the mammal was in the jar alone, or the candle was in the jar alone, the oxygen was used up and the animal or the flame died. However, when the plant was in the jar, the animal or flame did not die. It had oxygen constantly and the only thing different was the addition of the plant. |

Definition
|
|
Term
| Anaerobic vs Aerobic Respiration |
|
Definition
-Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is a lack of oxygen
-Anaerobic respiration produces alcohol, fermentation |
|
|
Term
| Seed size in germination, dispersal, and predation |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Why a science system of classification? |
|
Definition
-Because there are many plants with one common name "spring beauty"
-Plants have multiple common names
-Common names do not define relationships
-Common names can be misleading |
