First
Seed
Anchors the plant to the ground and absorbs water and nutrients
Roots
The "brain" of the cell
Nucleus
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place
Mitochondrion
Which energy roll “recycles” leftover food back into the ecosystem?
Decomposer
A consumer that eats both plants and animals
Omnivore
Second
Germination
The part of the plant where photosynthesis happens
Leaf
Protects the plant cell and provides structure
Cell wall
What 3 things are needed for photosynthesis?
Sunlight, water, carbon dioxide (CO2)
*What is created during cellular respiration? (This won't be on the test but is good to know!)
ATP (energy)
Which energy roll is the source (beginning) of all food in an ecosystem?
Producer
A consumer that only eats plants
Herbivore
Third AND Fourth
Sprout and Seedling
Transports water and nutrients through the plant
Stem
Stores food and water within the plant cell
What 2 things are made from photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
What is cellular respiration?
The process by which plants "eat"
Energy first enters into an ecosystem as...
Sunlight
A consumer that only eats meat
Carnivore
Fifth
Plant
Contains the seeds to grow a new plant
Fruit
Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
What is photosynthesis?
The process by which plants make their own food
What does energy do for cells?
Helps them grow and work
A bird is an example of a producer, consumer, or decomposer?
Consumer
A consumer that eats the bodies of dead organisms
Scavenger
Sixth
Flowering Plant
Creates pollen for reproduction and can grow fruit
Flower
Makes the plant green
Chlorophyll
What does the plant do with the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose is used for growth
Oxygen is released into the air
*Which cells perform cellular respiration? Animal cells or plant cells? (This will not be on the test but is good to know!)
Both animal and plant cells perform cellular respiration
Corn is an example of a producer, consumer, or decomposer?
Producer
The consumer level that eats the producers in a food web
Level 1 consumers
