Parts of a Plant Notes

Unit 2

Essential Questions that we will answer:

What is a plant?

What do plants need to survive?

What are the parts of a plant?

How do plants carry out the STERNGRR processes?

1.What is a plant?

Plants are multicellular organisms that carry out photosynthesis.

What is photosynthesis?Photosynthesis is the process by

which plants absorb the sun’s energy and use it as food.

What STERNGRR process does this describe?

What do plants need to survive?

• All living things grow and change.• All living things need food, water,

and air to live.

Plants must have these things to grow.

• Sunlight• Air• Water• Nutrients or minerals from the soil

Why do you think plants need each of these things to survive?

When a seed has sunlight, air, water, and nutrients

it will begin to germinate, or start to grow.

This young plant that grows from a seed is

called a seedling.

Parts of a Plant

• Roots hold the plant in the soil and takes in water and nutrients from the soil.

Parts of a Plant

• The stem holds up the plant and moves water and nutrients through it.

Parts of a Plant

• Leaves use light, air, water, and nutrients to make food for the plant.

Parts of a Plant• Flowers make fruits that hold

seeds.

Parts of a Seed• Seed Coat• Seed Leaf

• Stored Food• Developing Plant

The hard covering that protects the seed is the ...

The part that looks like a leaf inside each seed is the ...

Seeds• Seeds are formed in the center part of

the flower or fruit.• Seeds come in many shapes and sizes.• Plants grow from seeds.

How Seeds Are Scattered

• Planting

• Animals

• Water

• Wind

Seeds are scattered by planting, wind, water, and animals.

When the small plant inside begins to grow, the seed germinates.

The young plant that grows from a seed is the seedling.

Remember…

Leaves are responsible for Nutrition and Respiration

During photosynthesis, leaves absorb sunlight and make sugar that can be used later (Nutrition)

Later, plants used the sugars produced during photosynthesis to make energy (Respiration)

Flowers are responsible for reproduction

• Flowers make fruits that hold seeds.

Flower

Stem and Roots transport water and nutrients to the rest of the plant.

Seeds are responsible for growth and development

How a Seed Grows into a New Plant• The life of a plant begins as a seed.• Once you plant and water a seed it begins to

germinate.• The root pushes through the seed coat.• The seedling grows out of the ground.• The stem and its leaves point to the sunlight.• The leaves make its own food.• Flowers begin to bloom and make seeds.• New seeds are formed and scattered.
