the cell
What's the basic unit of life?
the cell
The part of the plant where most photosynthesis occurs.
leaves
The process of breaking down food into simpler substances.
the digestive process
The colored liquid moves through this part of the plant.
stem
A community of living and nonliving things interacting.
ecosystem
The structure that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
the cell membrane
The pigment that absorbs light energy.
chlorophyll
The organ where digestion begins with chewing
mouth
The process by which water moves upward in plants.
capillary action
Organisms that make their own food in an ecosystem.
producers
The organelle that contains genetic material.
nucleus
The gas plants use from the air during photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide
The tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.
esophagus
The tissue that transports water inside the plant.
xylem
The maximum population size an environment can support.
carrying capacity
The jelly-like substance where organelles are found.
cytoplasm
The main product that stores energy for the plant.
glucose
The organ where most chemical digestion happens using acids.
stomach
This force helps pull water upward as it evaporates from leaves.
transpirations
The increase in population over time.
population growth
The organelle known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
mitochondria
The stage of photosynthesis that requires sunlight directly.
light-dependant reactions
The place where most nutrients are absorbed into the blood.
the small intestine
The reason petals change color in dyed water experiments.
colored water reaching the petals through xylem
Factors like food, space, and water that affect population size.
