Photosynthesis
This is when tiny particles spread out from a place where there are lots of them to a place where there are fewer. It’s like a smell spreading across a room.
What is a Diffusion?
When you soak dehydrated raisins in water and they get plump, this water-moving process is at work.
What is osmosis?
This process is how cells make energy. They take in sugar and oxygen and turn them into energy that the cell can use, along with carbon dioxide and water.
What is Cellular Respiration?
This phrase describes a cell membrane that lets some things through but blocks others—kind of like a VIP club with a picky bouncer.
What is semi-permeable (or selectively permeable)?
This is how plants make their own food. They use sunlight, water, and a gas called carbon dioxide to create sugar (their food) and oxygen (which we breathe).
What is photosynthesis?
Diffusion moves particles from this kind of area—where there’s a lot of something—to an area with less of it.
What is a high-concentration area?
This is when plants “sweat.” They lose water through tiny holes in their leaves, a bit like how we lose water when we sweat.
What is Transpiration?
This is the chemical formula for cellular respiration.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
When you spray air freshener on one side of your room and eventually smell it on the other, you’re seeing this process in action.
What is diffusion?
Plants use this pigment to soak up sunlight like a solar panel during photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
This process means how water moves through plants.
What is fluid conduction?
Diffusion continues until particles are evenly spread out—reaching this balanced state.
What is equilibrium?
