Photosynthesis
This organelle in plant cells is where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
What is the mitochondria?
A common way of seed dispersal for many plants, including dandellions.
What is wind?
This type of cell division produces two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This part of the plant absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
What are roots?
This green pigment in chloroplasts absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
This molecule is the main energy currency produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
These tiny openings on the underside of leaves allow gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen to move in and out.
What are stomata?
During this stage of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the MIDDLE of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This structure transports water and nutrients and helps support the plant.
What is the stem?
The two reactants plants use during photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and this substance absorbed by roots.
What is water?
These two substances are the main reactants in cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
These massive trees, found in California, are among the tallest living things on Earth.
What are sequoia or California redwood trees?
During this stage, sister chromatids separate and move AWAY, to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
Most photosynthesis occurs in this plant structure.
What are leaves?
This gas is released into the atmosphere as a product of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
This gas is released as a waste product during cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
This plant is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world and can grow several feet in just a few days.
What is bamboo?
This stage of the cell cycle happens before mitosis and is when DNA is copied.
What is interphase?
This vascular tissue carries water from roots to the rest of the plant.
What is xylem?
This sugar molecule produced in photosynthesis stores chemical energy for the plant.
What is glucose?
This process allows cells to break down glucose to release usable energy.
What is cellular respiration?
This type of plant can dry out completely during drought, curl into a ball, and appear dead—but when water is added, it can come back to life within hours.
What is a resurrection plant?
The main purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms is growth and this other process.
What is repair (or replacing damaged cells)?
This vascular tissue transports sugars made during photosynthesis throughout the plant.
What is phloem?
