 5- How the root hairs help plants to absorb a lot of water?
a. Provide a big surface area
b. Provide a lot of minerals
c. Store the food
d. Anchor the plant firmly

Question 2: The plant makes its own food by a process.

a. What is the name and meaning of this process?

Photosynthesis is the process that plants used to produce glucose and
oxygen from carbon dioxide and water by a chemical rection.

b. Glucose is stored as __starch_______.

c. What is used to test the starch? Explain how the colour is turned.
Iodine solution is used to test the starch, as the colour turns from
reddish-brown to dark-blue black.

5. Stomata is surrounded by two specialized cells called __guard____ cells.
6. _______transpiration__ is the flow of water through plants.
7. ___flaccid____ cells are floppy, so they can’t hold the plant up.

V: palisade layer
Y: Guard cells
W: spongy mesophyll
Q: xylem
b. Give the letter of the part that do most of photosynthesis. V
c. What is the function of Q? _veins that carry water and minerals.
d. Give the letter of the part that lets gases get into and out of it. X__

Question 8: Compare between wind-pollenated flower and insect-pollenated

flower.

Insect-pollenated flower Wind-pollenated flower

stigma Sticky stigma Feathery stigma

Petals Colored petals Doesn’t have petals

( lack )
Pollen Large and spiny Small and light

Flower Has scents, colored it hangs down so the

petals and sugary stigma can catch the
nectar to attract insect pollen when wind blows

 Question 9: Use the following diagram to answer next questions.

a. Name the parts that have the following numbers.

1: stigma
3: ovary
8: stamen
9: petals
5: carpel
10: nectary
b. Give the number of the part that forms a seed after fertlisation. ( 4 )
c. Give the number of the part that forms fruit after fertilization. ( 3 )
d. What are the functions of the parts that labeled with number (1, 4, 6, 9,10)
1: where the pollen has to land on it for pollination to take place.
4: where the female gamete cells (eggs) have to form
6: produces pollen which carries the male sex cells.
9: attract insects
10: attract insects and they feed on it.

Question 10 : What is the difference between pollination and fertilisation.

Pollination is the movement of pollen from the anther to the stigma.

Fertlisation is the fusing between the nucleus of male sex cell with nucleus of
egg sex cell.
