Plant Processes
SOL7.5
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. |
| Respiration | the action of breathing |
| Stomata stoma | found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that facilitates gas exchange. |
| Chlorophyll | a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring. |
| Guardcells | each of a pair of curved cells that surround a stoma, becoming larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells. |
| Chloroplast | (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| Light dependent reaction | In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts. |
| Light independet react | light-independent reactions |
| Energy pyamid | The different levels represent different groups of organisms that might compose a food ... |
| Producer | a person, company, or country that makes, grows, or supplies goods or commodities for sale. "an oil producer" |
| Mitochondrion | an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae). |
| Autotrophs | an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide |
| Consumers | food chain, except for producers and decomposers |
| Herbivore | an animal that feeds on plants. |
| Omnivores | an animal or person that eats food of both plant and animal origin. |
| Heterotrophs | an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances. |
| carnivores | an animal that feeds on flesh. |
| Decomposers | an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material. a device or installation that is used to break down a chemical |
| Spongy layer | a layer of loosely packed and irregularly shaped chlorophyll-bearing cells that fills the part of a leaf between the palisad |
| palisade layer | a layer of parallel elongated cells below the epidermis of a leaf. |
| raw materials | the basic material from which a product is made. |
| Oxygen | a colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air. |
| carban dioxide | a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis. |
| Glucose | a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates. |
| Products | objectives of the project. In insurance, the policies are considered products off |
