What is a cell wall & chloroplast
This rigid outer layer not only provides support but also helps plants stand upright against gravity.
What is the cell wall
Rectangular
This must form first before any succession occurs
What is soil
What is the basic unit of life?
What is a cell
Large in plants, but small in animals; stores water and nutrients.
What is a vacuole
This organelle contains green pigments and captures sunlight, which converts into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
What is chloroplast
Animals change their diet if their usual food is gone.
What is behavioral adaptation
Some snakes produce venom, this is an example of what adaptation?
Physiological Adaptation
A small organelle used for temporary storage.
Jelly-like fluid that surrounds and protects the organelles.
What is cytoplasm

What is evaporation
Webbed feet would be a disadvantage in this environment
What is a dry land environment

What is a cell membrane
The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
What is photosynthesis
Thes tiny structures are responsible for assembling proteins in the plant cell, essential for growth, enzyme function, and repair.
What are ribosomes
What are the 3 states of matter?
What is water, liquid, & gas
If a species cannot adapt to environmental changes, it may face this
What is extinction
Generates energy for cell function.
What is mitochondria
This organelle contains the plant's DNA, it controls growth, protein production and is called the "control center" of a cell.
What is the nucleus
Unlike its smaller counterpart in animal cells, this organelle in plants can take up most of the cell's volume and help maintain turgor pressure.
(Turgor- The force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall)
What is the large vacuole
An abandoned farm field returning to forest is an example of this succession
What is secondary succession
When a new species enters an ecosystem and causes harm, it is called this
