What is Physiology?
The branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts.
100
What are some functions of plant cells?
*Keeping unclean minerals away from the plant *Delivering nutrients up and down the stem *To live and reproduce
100
What happens to a plant with no sunlight?
The plant will eventually wither and die since it is unable to preform photosynthesis.
200
What is Transpiration?
The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
200
What is symbiosis?
The interaction between two organisms living in close physical association, typically to work together and profit.
200
What are different affects of fertilizer on a plant?
*Too much can kill a plant *Just enough can make the plant prosper *The plant can't do photosynthesis because of the fertilizer and die *The plant's cellular system dies
300
What is Respiration?
The process in which living organism produce energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.
300
What is one of the functions of roots?
* Taking in minerals or nutrients from the soil * Giving support to the plant
300
What are the main minerals needed for a plant to survive?
Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
400
What is metabolism?
The chemical process that occurs within plants to sustain life.
400
What is the total length of the root tissue?
About 380 miles long.

What would be the effects of a disease spread by plants?
Plant pathogenic bacteria cause many serious diseases of plants throughout the world and they cause relatively less damage and economic cost.
500
How does symbiosis relate with photosynthesis and respiration?
Photosynthesis makes the energy while respiration makes the same energy usable. Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide to makes glucose while respiration uses glucose and oxygen to make water and carbon dioxide.
500
What is one structure of fungi?
Fungus have plant cells that retain a protective wall structure protecting the plant.
500
What is the chemical formula for Photosynthesis?
Water+Carbon Dioxide-------------Oxygen+Glucose (Sunlight)
