The animal kingdom and the plant kingdom
What is the science of finding patterns among living things called?
The science of finding patterns is called classification.
What are the two major groups of plants? What is the difference between them?
One of the major groups is called nonvascular plants and the other is called vascular plants. Vascular plants have tubes to transport water and food and nonvascular plants do not.
What are the major differences between animals and plants?
The difference between animals and plants is that animals can not make there own food, unlike plants. Although, animals can move from place to place, unlike plants.
What does a fungus do for food?
The fungus absorbs food so it does not decaying organisms.
Are fungus beneficial or harmful? Why?
Fungi is both beneficial and harmful. It is good in many different ways. We eat it, and it helps get rid of some diseases. But some fungi is bad for you. Some gives us diseases, and some are poisonous.
What are some examples of plants from the protist kingdom?
Some examples of the plants from the protist kingdom are seaweed, algae, slime molds, euglenas, and dinoflagellates.
What do the xylem, cortex, epidermis, and root cap do for a plant?
The xylem makes water and minerals flow, the cortex makes a layer that stores food, the epidermis is the outer layer that protects the root, and the root cap protects the root tip.
What is the difference between a taproot and fibrous roots?
The difference between a taproot and fibrous roots is that the taproot grows far down and it is one main root. Fibrous roots grow up close to the surface and there are many roots.
Describe in your own words how roots help plants absorb water and minerals.
The roots absorb water and minerals from underground and send them up to the plant.
What are the purposes of a plant’s stem?
The plant stem’s purpose is to make the leaves go to the open places to bathe in the sun. Stems also send water to the top of the plant.
What is the difference between simple leaves and compound leaves?
The difference between simple leaves and compound leaves is that the simple leaves have one leaf and the compound leaves come with a cluster of leaves.
What is the purpose of a plant’s leaves?
The purpose of the leaves is that they gather the sun for the plant and then make its food.
Why do leaf shapes differ?
Leaf shapes differ because they have different purposes. Some have flat surfaces to capture the sun, others have spines on the plant to protect it, and the needles on a pine tree have wax on them to keep it from losing too much water
What is transpiration?
Transpiration is when the water evaporates from the leaves and then new water replaces it.
What are all the things that a plant needs for photosynthesis to take place?
For photosynthesis to happen, the plant needs the sun, water, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide.
What is the purpose of the process of photosynthesis?
The purpose of photosynthesis is to make the plants food.
Describe the process of photosynthesis.
The process of photosynthesis is a complex process. First the sunlight hits the green part on the leaf. The leaf has a chemical that is called chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is made in a little thing called a chloroplast. Inside of the chloroplast is water and carbon dioxide from the air to make sugar and oxygen. The plant gets rid of the oxygen and puts it into the air and spreads the sugar all around the plant.
What is the process of respiration in plants?
It breaks down the sugar with oxygen and then it gives out energy to the plant.
Describe why leaves change color.
Leaves change color when it starts getting cold in the fall, because the chlorophyll dies and the leaves start to turn orange and yellow.
Why do plants need water?
The plant needs water so it can grow, for photosynthesis to happen, and so it does not wilt.
How does water move through a plant?
The water goes through the cortex of the root, through the xylem, then goes up the stem through the veins, into the leaves and then evaporates.
Which parts of plants do we eat? Give some examples.
The parts of the plant that we eat are the roots, stems, leaves, seeds, flowers and sap. For example beets, potatoes, and carrots are roots. Maple syrup is sap. Chocolate, mustard and rice are seeds.
How do plants enrich the air?
Plants enrich the air during photosynthesis after the sugar gets torn apart and it makes oxygen. The plant throws it out into the air, and then we breathe it.
These are the things I learned when I watched crash course biology
Episodes: 1. photosynthesis 2. plant cells
The difference between a plant cell and a animal cell is a lot of things like a plant cell has a rigid cell wall and a animal cell does not and a animal cell has a flexible membrane and a plant cell does not. The cell wall helps to a degree like if you poked them they would not laugh. The nucleus is like the headquarters of the little organism.
