Physiology
study of functions and complex chemical process that allow plants to grow is known as
plant physiology
Chlorophyll is important in plants because it
allows plants to grow/known as the chloroplasts
chemical processes providing plants with elements for growth
What is photosynthesis (in your own words)
a process that manufactures food for the plant
What is ph?
the measure of acidity or alkalinity in the soil
What is the purpose of the root
storage organ for excess plant food
Extremes of temperature will slow down or stop what process
photosynthesis
What is Respiration
process by which living cells take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis will work best in which temperature range
65-85
What is the rating for acidity?
ph of less than 7
what is fertilization?
addition of nutrients to the plant growing environment
When does respiration occur
day and night
What is the corm?
specialized stem
The rate at which photosynthesis is carried out depends on
light intensity, temperature, Co2
What is the rating for alkalinity
ph higher than 7
What is osmosis
movement through a semi-permeable membrane
When the temperature increases, the rate of respiration
increases
