How plant differ from animal • Plants produce their own food with the aid of nutrients from the soil. • Plants are stationary. • Plants have rigid cell walls with cell membranes inside. • Plants utilize carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
List how plants and animals are alike. • Plants and animals are alike in several ways. • They have a life cycle. • They carry on life processes, such as circulation, respiration and growth. • They are made of cells. • They must have food.
List three major factors that affect plant growth • Temperature • Precipitation • Light
Define life cycle in terms of plants and how they are classified • Life Cycle: refers to the length of the plant’s life. • Plants can be classified into three groups on the basis of their life cycle: • Annuals- complete life within one year. • Biennials- complete life cycle in two years. • Perennials- plants live for more than two years. • Deciduous- plants that lose their leaves in the winter. • Evergreens- plants that retain their leaves year round.
List the different parts of a plant • Leaves- makes food for the plant through a process known as photosynthesis. • Blade -Veins • Epidermis -Stomata • Internal cells -Waxy coating • Petiole -Stipule

Objective 1.8List the three ways leaves attach to the stem • Leaves attach to the stem in several different ways. • Alternate • Opposite • Whorled
List the different functions of the stem • The stem supports the leaves and flowers. • The stem transport water and other materials. • The stems also store food.
List the different parts of the stem • Bark • Cortex • Phloem • Cambium • Xylem • Pith
List the types and roles of roots • Role of roots • Roots anchor the plant. • Roots take in water and minerals. • Roots store energy. • Types of roots • Taproots • Fibrous roots
