SWEET
100

the green pigment that allows plants to collect light

chlorophyll

100

These two forms of matter are the INPUTS of photosynthesis (what the plant takes IN)

water and carbon dioxide

100

the type of energy that leaves absorb

light energy

100

sugar molecules contain these three elements

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

100

when a word ends with the suffix "-ose," it means this

it is a type of sugar molecule

200
What does BTB stand for?

BromoThymol Blue

200

This is the form of energy that is produced/stored by the plant when it does photosynthesis

chemical energy

200

the type of energy involved in movement, such as if a plant's vines slowly wrapped around something, or if its stem leaned toward a light source

kinetic (or mechanical) energy
200
the largest amount of chemical energy is stored in the bonds between these two elements

Carbon and hydrogen

200

the type of sugar found in potatoes, onion and corn;  it's how a plant stores extra energy

starch

300

this process is something that ALL LIVING THINGS must do in order to provide energy to their cells

Cellular respiration

300

These two forms of matter are produced/released by plants during photosynthesis

oxygen and glucose/sugar

300

anything that has mass and takes up space

matter

300

This part of the plant does photosynthesis

the leaves

300

the type of sugar found in the leaf of plants; it's the simplest type of sugar

glucose

400

this is the organelle within a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place

chloroplast

400

If a plant is placed into a dark environment, what will be true about its rate of photosynthesis versus the rate of cellular respiration?

Without a source of light, the plant's rate of cellular respiration is HIGHER than the rate of photosynthesis.
400

the type of energy stored in the bonds between atoms within a molecule

chemical energy

400

If an aquatic plant is put into a tube with yellow BTB and placed under direct sunlight, what would you expect to happen a few days later and why?

the BTB would turn blue because the plant absorbs CO2 out of the solution when it does photosynthesis

400

the type of sugar found in the fruit of a plant

fructose

500

These are the tiny, microscopic openings in a leaf that allow CO2 in and O2 out

stomata

500

What is the source of the carbon within a sugar molecule that plants produce?

The carbon comes from the carbon dioxide in the air that the plant takes in 

500
a human baby/child gets bigger by obtaining its mass from the food that he or she eats.  Where does a plant obtain the mass for it to get bigger over time?

the mass comes from carbon dioxide in the air, and water from the ground -- gets turned into sugar, that it stored within the plant, making it bigger and heavier over time.

500

TRUE or FALSE:  Plants can only do photosynthesis in direct light; they are not able to do photosynthesis in indirect light.

FALSE.  As long as a plant is given any amount of light, it can do photosynthesis.

500

a very strong type of sugar molecule, often found in the bark and stem of plants; also referred to as "fiber"

cellulose
