Soils
a type of soil that has large particles and good drainage but doesn't hold nutrients well.
Sandy Soil
plant organs that anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and sometimes store food.
Roots
liquid changes into a gas due to an increase in temperature or pressure.
Evaporation
The compound found in algae, plants and cyanobacteria that converts light into chemical energy
Chlorophyll
a piece of plant that is used to grow a new plant.
Cutting
a type of soil with particles smaller than sand but larger than clay, providing a smooth, soft texture. It retains moisture well and is fertile.
Silt Soil
plant structures that support leaves, flowers, and fruits. They also transport water and nutrients between the roots and the rest of the plant.
Stems
the movement of water, mineral nutrients, food, and other dissolved compounds from one part of the plant to another
Translocation
The process by which chemical energy is obtained from the controlled biological breakdown of carbohydrates
Respiration
a technique where parts of two plants are joined together so they grow as one.
Grafting
a type of soil composed of very fine particles, tightly packed together. It retains water well but drains poorly and can become compacted.
Clay Soil
the reproductive structures of plants, often brightly colored and fragrant to attract pollinators, leading to the production of seeds and fruits
Flowers
Precipitation
Water Uptake
a method of propagation where a stem is encouraged to root while still attached to the parent plant. Once the root develops, the rooted stem is cut from the parent plant and grown as a new individual.
Layering
a type of soil balanced with a mix of sand, silt, and clay, offering good drainage, moisture retention, and fertility.
Loamy Soil
the mature ovaries of flowering plants that contain seeds, aiding in seed dispersal through various means like wind, water, or animals
Fruits
when water flows over the lands surface instead of soaking into the ground.
Runoff
carbon dioxide from the air enters the leaves through small openings called stomata.
Carbon Dioxide Absorption
this process involves separation of a plant into two or more parts, each with its own roots and shoots. This method is commonly used for plants that grow in clumps or have multiple stems.
Division
Name the primary elements needed for plant growth and their functions
Nitrogen (shoots and stems)
Phosphorus (flowers, roots and fruits)
Potassium (all around plant health)
embryonic plants enclosed in a protective outer covering, containing stored food to support germination and initial growth.
Seeds
Infiltration
Name the 4 things a plant needs to grow
Water
carbohydrates
chemical energy (photosynthesis)
Mineral nutrients
a technique where small pieces of plant tissue are grown in a sterile, nutrient rich medium under controlled conditions.
