Plant Parts and Growth
A young plant in a community greenhouse needs your help. Explore the plant parts, solve the growth clues, and decide what the plant needs to thrive.
Plant Parts at Work
Use what you know about a plant’s structure to solve these greenhouse challenges.
1.Match each plant part to its main job: roots, stem, leaves, and flower. Jobs: absorb water and minerals; hold the plant upright and carry water; use sunlight to make food; help the plant make seeds.
- Roots
- Stem
- Leaves
- Flower
- Help the plant make seeds
- Use sunlight to make food
- Absorb water and minerals
- Hold the plant upright and carry water
2.A greenhouse plant’s leaves are green and catching sunlight. Which plant part is doing most of the work of making food?
- Roots
- Stem
- Leaves
- Flower
3.Choose all the things a plant generally needs to grow: water, sunlight, air, suitable nutrients, or a constant supply of ice cream.
- Water
- Sunlight
- Air
- Suitable nutrients
- Ice cream
Follow the Seed
Think about what happens as a seed begins to grow.
4.Number these stages from 1 (first) to 4 (last): flowering plant; seed; seedling with first leaves; sprout emerging from the soil.
5.Which part usually begins growing out of a germinating seed first, helping anchor the young plant and take up water?
- Flower
- Root
- Leaf
- Fruit
6.Complete the idea: Plants use energy from to make food in their leaves, and roots take up from the growing medium.
7.In the growth sequence, what appears after the root starts emerging but before the seedling has two leaves?
Greenhouse Detective
Use evidence and explain your thinking.
8.Two identical seedlings are cared for differently. Seedling A gets water and light. Seedling B gets light but no water for many days. Predict one change you may observe in Seedling B and explain why.
9.A grower notices water reaches the roots, but the plant’s leaves are dusty and blocked from light. Which plant job may be affected most, and why?
10.Design a simple care plan for a new seedling in a Canadian greenhouse. Name two things you would provide and one plant part that helps with each.
