Starch | Sugars and plants are stored as starches. |
Autotroph | Autotroph means self feeder, and plants do not require food from other organisms. |
Leaf | The leaves take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. |
Tendril | Tendrils respond to touch as they climb. |
Stem | Stems provide support and transfer water and nutrients. |
Gravity | A stimulus that makes roots grow down and the stem grow up. |
Roots | Roots provide support and take in water and minerals. |
Photosynthesis formula | Carbon Dioxide + Water + light energy = Oxygen + Glucose (sugar) |
