The parts of a flower

Let’s review…

Look at this picture.

Can you label the parts of the plant?

The roots absorb water from the soil.

The stem helps to

support the plant.

The leaves use sunlight

to provide the plant with

energy.

The flower helps the plant to

reproduce.http://www.spokane-county.wsu.edu/Spokane/eastside/Fact%20Sheets/C148%20Why%20Blossoms%20Fail%20%2005.pdf

This is the name for the FEMALE part of the flower.

This is the name for the MALE part of the flower.

(female part)

(future fruit)

(male part)

You will need to label the following parts in a diagram on the test Tuesday…

You will also need to label these parts in a diagram on the test Friday…

What are plants called that supply us with

healthy plant cuttings?

Stock plants

What are some important facts to consider when

making plants cuts?Use the newest growth

Remove extra leaves and flowers

Take cuttings from healthy stock plants

Cut at a 45 degree angleProperly prepare the soil

What is the difference between germination,

pollination and fertilization?•Germination = seed grows roots•Pollination = pollen from anther

to stigma via insect or other•Fertilization= pollen makes it

down tube to fertilize ovule egg

You will need to organize the steps of the life cycle of a flower on the test Tuesday…

What is the difference between transpiration, photosynthesis

and respiration?•Transpiration = water moves into plant

roots, up through the stem and into the leaves.

•The water, warmed by the sun, turns into vapor and passes out through stomata

mostly on the bottom of the leaf.•Photosynthesis =

•Respiration =

How does it work?1. entrance

Xylem – Pulls water and minerals from the roots through stem and up to the leaves

Phloem – Pulls glucose from photosynthesis to go throughout the plant and down to the roots

How does it work?2. exit

Opening in the bottom of the leaves-Guard Cells-Stoma

How does it cool?80% of the cooling effect of a

shade tree is from the evaporative cooling effects of

transpiration. 

What is the difference between transpiration, respiration and

photosynthesis?•Transpiration =

•Photosynthesis = a plant takes carbon dioxide molecules from air,

water molecules from soil, and puts them together chemically to make

glucose and oxygen •Respiration =

What is the difference between transpiration, photosynthesis

and respiration?•Transpiration =

•Photosynthesis =•Respiration = obtaining energy from

food for use in life processes .

*photosynthesis results in storage of energy, respiration results in release of

energy.

What are some helpful Landscaping Tips?

1. Use curved lines2. Plant for mature

growth3. Soften corner

4. Avoid polka-dots5. Plant in ‘odd’

numbers

What are some helpful Landscaping Tips?

6. Asymmetrical is usually preferred

7. Watch out for blending ‘hardscapes’

8. Layer by height9. Provide enough open space
