Plant Anatomy
This is part of the plant that helps hold it upright
What is the stem?
This is the source of energy for the photosynthesis.
What is the sun (sunlight)?
The main purpose of photosynthesis is to produce this substance.
What is glucose (or the plants food)?
The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce this for cells.
What is energy?
This is the part of the plant that absorbs the above ground inputs.
What is the leaf
These are the inputs of cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis is an example of this type of process where new substances are produced.
What is a chemical reaction?
The 2 ways that humans and other mammals bring in the inputs of cellular respiration are
What is eating and breathing?
This is the part of the plants that absorbs below ground inputs.
What are the roots
These are the outputs of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This is the organelle where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
This is the organelle in which cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the part of the plant that stores energy for when the plant cannot make their own.
This is an output of cellular respiration AND photosynthesis.
What is water VAPOR?
the prefix "photo" means this.
What is light?
Plants, animals and this type of organism all do cellular respiration.
What are decomposers?
This is the part of the plant that grows straight down from the stem and is important for initially anchoring the plant.
What is the taproot?
This is an input for plants but is NOT an input for photosynthesis.
What are nutrients?
Because plants do photosynthesis to make their own food they are considered this class of organism in a food chain.
What are producers?
Things that cannot make their own food to do cellular respiration, but must eat it, are considered this type of organism.
What is a consumer?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis have an interesting relationship to each other that is big part of allowing complex life to exist. This is how they compare.
What is the inputs of photosynthesis are outputs of cellular respiration and the inputs of cellular respiration are the outputs of photosynthesis? This means one provides what is needed for the other one to happen.
