Tree Structures
This part of a plant takes in water and minerals from the soil.
Roots
Forests provide this gas that humans and many animals need to breathe.
Oxygen
Plants use this process to make their own food using sunlight.
Photosynthesis
This is a large area of land covered mostly with trees.
These are the small leaves that make up a compound leaf.
Leaflets
This is the part of a tree where photosynthesis usually takes place.
Leaf
Trees take this gas out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
Carbon Dioxide
During photosynthesis, plants release this important gas into the air.
Oxygen
This type of forest is found near the equator and has warm temperatures and lots of rain.
Tropical Rainforest
This is the flat, broad part of a leaf that captures sunlight.
the blade
This is the woody limb that grows out from the main trunk of a tree, supporting leaves, flowers, or fruit.
Branch
Forests provide food, water, shelter, and space for many of these.
Organisms/Living Things
This green substance in leaves helps plants capture energy from sunlight.
Chlorophyll
This cold forest biome is mostly made up of evergreen trees such as spruce and fir.
Taiga Forest
This part connects the leaf to the stem or branch.
This is the thick, main woody stem of a tree that supports the branches and connects the roots underground to the leaves and canopy above.
Trunk
Tree roots can help reduce this process by holding soil in place.
Plants are called this type of organism because they can make their own food.
This forest biome has trees that lose their leaves each year.
Temperate Forest
These structures help transport important materials through the leaf.
Veins
On some trees, this part can attract pollinators and eventually make seeds.
Flowers
Forests can help slow climate change by storing this element in trees and soil.
Carbon
Trees can interact with other organisms using chemical signals and can exchange resources underground with the help of this decomposer.
Fungi
This is the most common type of tree found in the taiga.
Evergreen/Coniferous
This main vein gives the leaf structure and transports important nutrients into and out of the leaf.
