2. Food
 We use plants everyday for food, even if you are eating
meat. All food is either a plant or has eaten a plant. The
plants that make fruits which we eat are called
angiosperms. All angiosperms are in the kingdom Plantae
and the Division Angiospermae. All angiosperms use their
flowers for reproduction.

3. Angiosperms
 Angiosperms use their flowers to reproduce. There are
male and female parts to a flower. The male part is called
the stamen and the female part is the ovary which holds
the ovules. The stamen make pollen which are sperm cells.
In the end if these cells find their way to an ovary, they
fertilize an egg. Once the egg is fertilized the flesh of the
fruit that plant makes grows around the egg. In time the
egg grows into an embryo inside the seed. If conditions
are right where the seed ends up it will grow into a new
plant.

4. Growth
 After the seed is inside a fruit and it land in an area that it
can grow in, the embryo starts to use up the cotyledon
inside the seed as nutrients. They use these stored
nutrients until they grow leaves and start
photosynthesis, which allows them to make their own
food. When the embryo starts growing out of the seed it
grows roots to anchor itself and to start absorbing water
and nutrients.

5. Response
 One major adaption that angiosperms have is that they
have a scent that attracts insects to come and collect
nectar. By doing this pollen gets stuck to their tiny hairs
and they are deposited at a different flower. Insects play a
huge role in the reproduction of angiosperms.

6. Organization
 One way they are organized is by being vascular plants.
This means that they have xylem and phloem which allow
them to grow upward. The xylem and phloem deposit
water and minerals all around the plant.

7. Medical Use
 Some plants are grown for medical purposes. The plant I decided to use as a
medical plant is the aloe plant. Aloe vera is used in products such as
sunscreen, shaving cream, moisturizers, and shampoos. It’s sap is very good
for the skin after suffering a sunburn.
Kingdom: Plantae
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Monocots
Order: Asparagales
Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae
Subfamily: Asphodeloideae
Genus: Aloe
Species: Aloe vera

8. Reproduction and Growth
 Aloe vera plants are angiosperms, so they reproduce with
flowering which I feel I explain well enough earlier. The
flower produces a seed. If the conditions where the seed
land are ideal the seed will grow into a new aloe plant.

9. Organization
 Aloe plants are vascular plant. This means that that they
can grow upward. It also means that the water and
nutrients that the roots take in are distributed around the
plant by their xylem and phloem which are like veins. This
is very important for photosynthesis.

10. Adaption
 An adaption that aloe plants have made is that they are
very good at retaining water. This allows them to live in
very dry and hot conditions. The water that they absorb
when it rains is stored in its leaves as a gel.

11. Oxygen
 Plants use photosynthesis for energy. The process of
photosynthesis allows plants to make sugars they need for
energy. This happens when carbon dioxide, water, and
sunlight all combine. They produce sugar and oxygen.
They burn the sugars for energy and the oxygen exits
through their leaves. We breath in this oxygen and it is
essential to our life.

12. Classification
 I just picked a random plant to use as a plant that gives us oxygen. I
decided to use the sycamore maple tree.
 Kingdom: Plantae
 (unranked): Angiosperms
 (unranked): Eudicots
 (unranked): Rosids
 Order: Sapindale
 Family: Sapindaceae
 Genus:Acer
 Species:A. pseudoplatanu

13. Reproduction and Growth
 It reproduces through seeds contained inside Samara
fruits. When they land, if the conditions are right, they will
grow into a new tree. They do this by using the nutrients
inside the seed shell to make the embryo grow out of the
shell. When it has grown roots and leaves it starts making
its own food through photosynthesis.

14. Organization and Response
 It is organized by being vascular. It has a phloem and a
xylem to transport water and nutrients around the plant to
allow photosynthesis to occur. An adaption it has made is
that it that the samara has little wings on the sides of it to
allow it to travel farther distances from the tree.

15. Clothing
 Cotton plants were first cultivated around 7000 years ago.
It has been spun and woven since prehistoric times. Today
we still use it today in our clothes.
 Kingdom Plantae
 Subkingdom Tracheobionta
 Division Magnoliophvta
 Class Magnoliopsida
 Family Malvaceae
 Genus Gossypium L.
 Species Gossypiumhirsutum L.

16. Reproduction
 Cotton is a flowering plant. This means that it has a flower
that has a male part (stamen) and a female part (ovary).
The ovary holds the ovules and the stamen makes pollen.
The pollen fertilizes the egg which starts the growth of a
seed. If conditions are right the seed can grow into a new
cotton plant.

17. Growth
 If where the seed ends up is an ideal spot then it will start
to grow. It will live off the nutrients inside the seed until it
grows roots and leaves. Once this happens it will start
making its own food through photosynthesis.

18. Organization and Response
 It has a vascular system which is the organization. It has a
xylem and a phloem that distribute minerals and water
throughout the plant. An adaption that cotton plants have
made is that the flowers attract insects. It benefits them
by allowing them to get pollinated easily.

19. Decoration
 Many people care about how their lawns, gardens, or
yards look. I don’t. But then again I’m also not making a
living as a landscaper. The plant I decided to use was the
flower Chrysanthemum.

20. Chrysanthemum
 Chrysanthemums, or Mums, reproduce with seeds. The seeds are developed in the
flower by ovules and pollen as I said earlier. If the conditions are ideal in the area the seed
lands in, it will germinate and grow into a chrysanthemum.
 Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
 (unranked): Eudicots
 (unranked): Asterids
 Order: Asterales
 Family: Asteraceae
 Tribe: Anthemideae
 Genus: Chrysanthemum

21. Growth and Response
 Chrysanthemum flowers and their stems grow on
average between 2 and 4 inches long. One adaption
chrysanthemums have made to their environment is
that they are very colorful, attracting bees and other
insects to pollinate them.

22. Organization
 Like every living thing it has cellular organization. It
has tissue, or cells that do different things. One
major things in the cellular organization of the
chrysanthemum is that it has a vascular system. This
means it has a xylem and phloem to distribute water
and minerals all around the plant.
