plants Flashcards
where does gas exchange occur
in the leaf
where does photosynthesis occur
in the chlorophyll
what reactants does plants need for photosynthesis
light and chlorophyll
food chain
order of events where on living organism eats another
food web
a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains
cellular respiration reactants
o2 and glucose
photosynthesis word equation
co2 + water light and chlorophyll->+ glucose
role of cellular respiration
cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy
cellular respiration
o2 + glucose ->co2 + H2o+ energy
flower
has the male and female parts for reproduction
stem
supports the plants and carries water and nuterients throughout the plant
leaves
absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
roots
hold the plant in the soil and absorb water
what is the first tube in the stem
xylem- carries the water from the roots to the leaves
what is the second tube in the stem
phloem- carries the nutrients from the leaves to the rest of the plant
