|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment Found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria. |
| Photosynthesis | Sunlight provides the energy for food, making process called photosynthesis. |
| Tissue | Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a specific function in an organism. |
| Chloroplast | Chloroplast, which look like green jellybeans, are the structures in which food is made. |
| Vacuole | A vacuole is a large storage sack that can expand and shrink. |
| Cuticle | One Adaption that helps a plant reduce water loss is a waxy waterproof layer called the cuticle. |
| Vascular tissue | Vascular tissue is a system of tube like structures inside a plant through which water minerals in food move. |
| Organelle | A tiny specialized structures within a cell that performs a specific job to help the cell function and survive. |
| Chromatin | Farmington contain genetic material and the instructions for directing the cells functions. |
| Mitochondrion | Mitochondrion are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they convert energy in food molecules to energy cell can use to carry out its functions. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | The endoplasmic reticulum is passageways carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another. |
| Lysosomes | The small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles in worn out cell parts. |
| Golgi body | The Golgi bodies receive materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside the cell. |
| Describe the three main characteristics that all plants share | Multicellular eukaryotic and perform photosynthesis |
| List the two things that a plant needs and the two things it makes during photosynthesis | The two things that it needs is carbon dioxide and water. What the plant makes is glucose and oxygen. |
| What are two reasons why cell walls are important for plants | Structural support and turgor pressure 2 protection. |
| List the five things that a plant needs to survive on land. | Sunlight, water, air, nutrients, space to grow |
