Main characteristcs-They make food using soil,water,sunlight,
and air
-They have roots,stems and leaves
-Plants cannot move around.
-Most plants live on land,but some are aquatic
-Flowering plants:They reproduce from
seeds.Trees,shrubs and grass-Plants without flowers:
They reproduce from spores.Mosses and ferns
1-Plants take nutrients(water and mineral salts)from the soil through the roots
-They take carbon dioxide from the air through the leaves.
2-They make food in their leaves through a
process called photosynthesisphotosynthesis using chlorophyll to absorb
the sunlight.
3-The food is taken to the whole plant
*Xylem sap:mixture of water and minerals
*Xylem vessels:thin tubes for the xylem sap
*Phloem sap:mixture of xylem sap and carbon dioxide
*Phloem vessels:take food to the whole plant
Parts:stamen,pistil,sepals,petals,ovules, corolla and calyx
Pollination:grains of pollen are transported to the pistil
Fertilisation:a grain of pollen joins an ovule and develops into a seed
Germination:in right conditions of temperature and humidity the seed can
germinate and new plants grow
