Plant Cells
The "brain" of the cell. It controls all cell activities (the gumball)
Nucleus
To keep something inside
Contain
This energy comes for the sun and is absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves
Light Energy
They make food for the plant. They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air.
Leaves
To join things together differently than they were before
Recombine
It is responsible for photosynthesis, the process that allows plants to make their own food (the GREEN Mike & Ikes)
Chloroplasts
Related to one or more cells
Cellular
What is taken in by the leaves?
Carbon Dioxide
It supports the plant. It contains thin tubes for carrying food, minerals, and water through the plant.
Stem
To let go of it
Release
The "fluid environment" within the cell that allows things to move around and function properly (the frosting)
Cytoplasm
It is done correctly
Properly
What is made, stored and used by the plant (sometimes referred to as glucose)?
Sugar
They soak up water and minerals. They also store food for the plant
Roots
Vascular
A stiff, protective layer that surrounds a plant cell (the graham cracker)
Cell Wall
Presence
What is released from the leaves?
Oxygen
It makes seeds for the plant.
Flower
A substance that gives color to a plant
Pigment
The “powerhouse” converting energy from food into a form the cell can use (the mini Swedish fish)
Mitochondria
Over and over - without an end
Continuously
What is the process that turns light energy into FOOD for the plant?
Photosynthesis
The green substance found in all plants.
Chlorophyll
The act of taking in oxygen.
Respiration
