| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| For photosynthesis to begin, light must strike what part of the leaf? | Chlorophyll |
| What two substances does photosynthesis in plants produce? | Sugar and Oxygen |
| Name the cell part where photosynthesis takes place. | Chloroplast |
| Where does the energy that powers photosynthesis come from? | Sun |
| Name of the chemical that gives a leaf its green color. | Chlorophyll |
| What is an autotroph? | An organism that is able to make its own food. |
| Where does algae (plant-like protist) live? | In water |
| Name the storage area in plants where water is stored. | Vacuoles |
| What does the leaf's cuticle do? | Reduces evaporation (water leaving the plant). |
| A group of similar cells that perform a similar function. | Tissues |
| What are the three functions of a plant's vascular tissue? | 1. Transports water and food inside the plant. 2. Supports plant's stems and leaves. 3. Positions plant's leaves closer to the sun. |
| A cell structure inside a plant cell where food is made. | Chloroplast |
| Name the process in which plants make their own food. | Photosynthesis |
| Name the gas that is produced during photosynthesis. | Oxygen |
| Name the cell structure that surrounds the cell membrane and gives the cell its shape. | Cell wall |
| What is a fertilized egg cell called? | Zygote |
| What internal transporting system allows plants to move food and water through a plant? | Vascular tissue |
| What are accessory pigments? | Yellow, orange, or red pigment found in plant cells. |
| What part of the plant does photosynthesis take place? | Leaves |
| Name two substances plants need to make food other that sunlight and chlorophyll. | Carbon dioxide and water |
| Name the products produced during photosynthesis. | Oxygen Sugar Food/nutrients/stored energy |
| What two cell structures are found in plant cells but not animal cells? | Cell wall and chloroplast |
| What chemical is the cell wall made up of? | Cellulose |
| Is a plant cell a prokaryote or eukaryote? | Eukaryote (has a nucleus) |
| What is the function of a cell's nucleus? | Contains the chemical instructions that direct the cell's activities. |
| What is the function of a plant cell's vacuole? | Storage area for food and water. |
| What is the function of a cell's cytoplasm? | Suspends all cell parts. Contains all cell structures. |
| What is the function of a cell's cell membrane? | Transports materials in and out of the cell. |
| This cell structure gives a plant its shape and also gives protection to the cell. | Cell wall |
