Chemical found in soil that plants need for healthy growth.

Mineral salt that plants need to make proteins.

Tube made from chains of living phloem cells. Carries glucose and other soluble substances up and down the plant.

Cell found in roots. The root hair has a large surface are to help the cell absorb water quickly.

When a plant does not have enough water and droops.

Tube made from chains of dead, hollow xylem cells. Carries water and dissolved mineral salts up a plant.

The process of the earth's atmosphere warming up. It is partly caused by an increase in carbon dioxide in the air.

The gas that is 'natural gas'. Also formed in large amounts in the digestive systems of cows. Methane absorbs heat and so helps global warming.

Chemical reaction that releases energy from glucose. It uses up oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water.

The mass of material(expect water) that makes up an organism.

Green substance found inside chloroplasts. It absorbs light.

Type of sugar made during photosynthesis.

Chemical reaction that plants use to make their own food. It needs light to work. Carbon dioxide and water are reactants and glucose and oxygen are the products.

Something used up in the chemical reaction. Also called reactant.

Something used up in the chemical reaction. Also called raw material.

Tube made from chains of living phloem cells. Carries glucose and other soluble substances up and down the plant.

Something made in a chemical reaction.

Insoluble carbohydrate made from glucose and used as a storage material in plants.

Simple way of showing what happens in a chemical reaction

When something has a particular shape to help it do a function(job). A root hair cell has a shape that helps it absorb water and is said to be 'adapted to its function'.

The building blocks of protein.

A substance used to make cell walls.

Green disc containing chlorophyll. Found in plant cells. Where glucose is made by photosynthesis

The random movement of particles from where there are a lot of them to where there are fewer of them.

Substance needed by living things to make cell membranes. Our bodies also use fats as a store of energy and to keep warm.

Cells which open and close the stomata.

Liquid fat, often found in nuts and seeds.

Cells found in leaves, containing many chloroplasts.

A substance made from amino acids. Proteins are needed for growth and repair.

Small holes on the underside of leaves which let gases into and out of the leaf.
