Document Summary

Roots anchor plants to the soil and absorb water and nutrients needed for growth. Stems are attached to the root and leaves: conduit between leaves and roots, exchange material, tissue allows water and nutrients to travel. Leaves use sunlight to carry out photosynthesis: photosynthesis: light carried energy, absorbed my leaves (chlorophyll), split water into two oxygen molecules, chemical energy to trap carbon dioxide. Flowers are reproductive organs yielding fruit containing seeds: sepals protect floral parts before bloom, petals attract pollinators, stamen (male) has sex cell, pistil (female) has an ovary. Capacity to use sunlight liberating oxygen and chemical energy formed used to take carbon from atmosphere to make sugar. Green tissues of plants (e. g. , leaves) contain chlorophyll and are photosynthetic. Plants cool their surroundings: water absorbed, only a few percent used in photosynthesis, rest is sent out into the atmosphere. Plants are immobile: wherever seed sprouts, that"s where it will stay, plants can move towards light (sunflowers)
