Plants are Like our Bodies

There are many parts that each serve a purpose.
Without each part doing its job, the plant will
not live.
3
ROOTS
Roots take in water and minerals from the soil to
keep plants alive. What parts of your body take
in food and water to keep you alive?
www.somers.k12.ny.us/. ../plantinfo.html

Roots

• Like the mouth and esophagus in your body take
  in food and water, roots take in water and
  minerals from the soil to help the plant live and
  grow.
• Roots also hold the plant tightly to the soil.
• They provide storage for minerals.

STEM
The stem gives the plant support and holds the
leaves up to the sun. What part of your body
gives you support?
6
STEM

• Like the bones in your body hold you up and give
  support, the stem of a plant holds the leaves
  upright to the sun.
• The stem also transfers water and minerals to the
  leaves.

Leaves

• Leaves are the food factory of the plant. They
  manufacture food for the plant.
• What part of your body processes food?

8
LEAVES

• Like your stomach and intestines process your
  food, the leaves of the plant produce food for
  the plant.

• Leaves absorb light energy from the sun and
  carbon dioxide from the air. They combine them
  with the water and minerals to produce glucose
  (sugar) and oxygen. The glucose is the food for
  the plant and the oxygen is released into the
  air. This process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Flowers and Fruit
The flowers and fruit attract insects and birds
for pollination? What about you might attract
insects or other peoples attention?
10
Flowers and Fruit

• Like the clothes and perfume you wear attract
  people and insects to you, flowers and fruit
  attract birds and bees to plants.

• Flowers make new seeds.
• The fruit of a plant holds the seeds that will
  later grow a new plant.
