Why are plants important?

Can you write about one of the reasons?

food chains start with plants plants clean air, take in carbon
plants are bred for specific traits dioxide and pollutants, give off
plant genetics can be
oxygen
manipulated

transpiration: water goes from

plants to atmosphere, vital part of

water cycle
help clean bodies of water

SECTION 1

plants can be medicines,

poisons, drugs
been used forever for lots of
purposes, refined now

protect against erosion

clean polluted soil

plants store carbon, which slows

climate change
plants give off water, which
affects temperature & humidity

How do plant structures relate to their function?

Can you write about the overall function of each plant part?
Root: take in, store, &
transport nutrients & water

Stem: structure, transport of

water & nutrients

Flower: reproduction

Fruit: spread seeds

SECTION 2

Leaf: gas exchange,

transpiration,
photosynthesis

How do plants make and use energy?

Can you explain photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Recognize the equations? Know where they happen?
photosynthesis: sunlight, CO2, & H2O glucose/stored energy & oxygen
cellular respiration: glucose used to produce ATP/usable energy
photosynthesis: chloroplast
cellular respiration: mitochondria
photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
(carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen)
cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
(glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + ATP)
SECTION 3

How do plants reproduce?

Do you know the big difference between the types?
asexual reproduction: produces offspring genetically identical to parent
sexual reproduction: produces offspring genetically unique from parents

SECTION 4

What influence have humans had on plants?

Can you write about how weve changed plant genetics over time?
selective breeding/artificial selection/traditional farming changing genetics
through breeding organisms with favorable traits together

GMO use of technology to change genetics, can create transgenic organisms

(using genes from other species)

SECTION 5

photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

(carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen)
cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
(glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + ATP)

SECTION 3

photosynthesis: how plants get energy

mitochondria: organelle where cellular

respiration happens

chloroplast: plant organelle where

photosynthesis happens

ATP: usable form of energy

chlorophyll: light-absorbing pigment in

chloroplasts, supplies energy for
photosynthesis

cross-pollination: insects/birds/animals
help plants sexually reproduce; carry
pollen from one flower to another

glucose: sugar/stored energy

artificial selection: traditional farming,

breeding for specific traits

cellular respiration: how living things

use stored energy to produce ATP

GMO: genetically modified organism
