|
|
Term
| 13. Do all plants form seeds? |
|
Definition
| "No, some make spores instead of seeds." |

|
Definition
| "From water, carbon dioxide and nutrients that they take in through a process known as photosynthesis." |

|
|
Term
| 24. What makes leaves green? |
|
Definition
| A pigment called chlorophyll |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| "Glucose is the sugar that is formed from the raw materials (water, carbon dioxide, nutrient) used by the palnts and is transported throughout the plant." |

|
Definition
| A period of suspended life process brought on by changes in the environment. It is the resting state of the plant. |
|
|
Term
| 29. What may happen during dormancy? |
|
Definition
| Some plants loose their leaves. |
|
|
Term
| 30. Why do humans need plants that use photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
| Because the process of photosynthesis makes the oxygen we need. |
