3. Describe the photosynthesis- makes food, sun, h20, co2, creates sugars & starches
function of pho- transpiration- loss of water from plant
tosynthesis, tran- cell respiration- releasing energy
spiration, & cellu-

lowing propaga- attached to the parent plant. The stem is wrapped with damp moss to encourage
tion methods of roots to form.
air layering, tis- Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant
sue culture, stem cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of
cuttings, leaf cut- known composition. It is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method
tings, root cut- known as micropropagation.
tings, & seeds. Stem cuttings: It involves taking a section of stem from a parent plant and manip-
ulating it to create a new plant.
leaf cuttings: stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new
stems
root cuttings: the portion of root is cut from a parent plant (often called a mother
plant), placed in a growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots
and stems.
seeds: is the method of plant propagation (multiplying, reproducing, or breeding
new plants) that is done through the use of seeds.

types of roots?
15. list & describe 5 Tuber: eyes, food storage, propagation (growing plants), underground
modified stems Rhizome(turf grass, ginger): underground horizontal stem, food storage
bulb: with bulblets, underground, food storage
bulb with leaves: underground, food storage
cladophyl: stem that goes through photosynthesis, above ground
stolon( golf course grass): above ground, horizontal stem, photosynthesis
16. what is the repro- The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants (angiosperms). Parts of the
ductive part of flower include petals, sepals, one or more carpels (the female reproductive or-
the plant? gans), and stamens (the male reproductive organs).
