Re: Botany related fundamental type questions

You were searching for the Botany related fundamental type questions, so for this I am sharing the information with you:

Why are plants important in our environment?

As a review and introduction to this lesson, ask the students why plants are important.
Possible responses are:
• Without plants there would be no life on earth.
• The oxygen in the air is produced by plants.
• The food we eat comes from plants or animals that eat plants.
• Plants give us clothing (cotton, linen).
• Plants give us shelter (wood).
• Plants give us medicines.
• Plants give us ingredients for lotions, shampoos, etc.
• Plants give us fuel (wood, coal, oil, and natural gas come from plants that lived long ago).

2. What are the main parts of a plant and what is the job of those parts?

As an additional review, ask the students to name the main parts of a plant and how those parts
help a plant survive.
• ROOTS bring water and minerals (dissolved in the water) into the plant. They also anchor the
plant.
• TRUNK OR STEM supports the plant and transports the fluids throughout the plant.
• LEAVES absorb sunlight and produce the plant's food.
• FLOWERS produce seeds.
• SEEDS produce new plants.

3. Plants are food factories. The story of Photosynthesis.
