Plants and Photosynthesis-Lesson 1 Flashcards
The ability to perform work or change in objects
Energy
The smallest unit of living matter
Cell
Part of a plant cell that contains chlorophyll;where photosynthesis takes place in the cell
Chloroplast
A green chemical in plant cells that allows plants to use the Sun’s energy to make food
Chlorophyll
The tissue through which food from the leaves moves throughout the rest of a plant
Phloem
The tissue through which water and minerals move up in a plant
Xylem
The food-making process in green plants that uses sunlight
Photosynthesis
The loss of water through a plant’s leaves
Transpiration
Photosynthesis takes place in the _______ of the plant
Leaves
In the process of photosynthesis, _______ and _______ enter the chloroplasts
Carbon dioxide, Water
