| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are producers? | Organisms that use an outside energy source like sun, to make energy rich molecules. |
| What are consumers? | Consumers obtain energy by eating other organisms. |
| What is Mutualism? | Both living organisms benefit from a symbiotic relationship. |
| What is Commensalism? | A Symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is not affected. |
| What is Parasitism? | A symbiotic relationship when one organism benefits but the other is harmed. |
| What are Niches? | An organism can survive because of a special adaptation to improve survival. |
| What is the Stomata? | They are a passageway for raw materials like Carbon Dioxide, waste gases, water vapor, and waste gases to enter and exit the leaf. |
| What do guard cells do? | Guard cells surround each stomata and control its size. |
| What is cholorophyll? | Chloroplasts are green because they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. |
| What is Photosynthesis? | The process when a plant's cholorophyll traps light energy and sugars are produced. |
| What is Aerobic respiration? | Aerobic respiration returns Carbon Dioxide to atmosphere so plants can reuse it. |
| Why is glucose important for plants? | Glucose is the main form of food for plant cells, and also is the basis of plant structures. |
| What is respiration? | A series of chemical reactions that break down food molecules and release energy. |
| What keeps the epidermis of a leaf from drying out? | A waxy cuticle. |
