Plants
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Are plants, which is an organism that can produce their own energy through chemical reactions | Autotrophs |
The process that plants use to produce sugar | Photosynthesis |
Chemical energy that is transformed from the SUN | Radiant Energy |
An organelle found in the plant cell in the leaves of green plants which help to produce food for the plant (in the form of sugar/glucose) during photosynthesis | Chloroplasts |
6H2O+6CO2+light energy--> C6H12)6(sugar/glucose)+6O2 | Equation for Photosynthesis |
Plants have water in their cell vacuoles, the water pushes (like a force) on the cell membrane & cell wall, creating a type of PRESSURE which makes the cell kind of stiff or rigid | Turgor Pressure |
Is a growth response of a plant | Tropism |
Plants response to Earth's gravity; roots grow towards the source of gravity (positive), grows away from gravity (negative). | Geotropism(Gravity Tropism) |
Plant growth in response to a light source; plants bends to grow towards the sun. | Phototropism |
Plant growth in response to water; plants roots grow towards a water source. | Hydrotropism |
Plant growth in response to touch; plant wraps around an object that it comes in tact with. | Thighmotropism |
Vessels in the stem to transport water | Xylem |
Vessels in the stem to transport food. | Phloem |
