Question | Answer |
a green chemical in a plant cells that allows plants to use the Sun’s energy for making food | chlorophyll |
plants that contain tissue through which water moves up and food moves down (plants with stems and trunks are these kinds of plants) | vascular |
plants that do NOT contain tissue through which water and food move up and down (plants like moss, hornwort, and liverwort are examples of these plants) | nonvascular |
members of a kingdom that contain one-celled and many-celled living things that absorb food from their environment | fungus |
a member of the kingdom that contain one-celled and many-celled living things, some that make food and some that hunt for food | protist |
one-celled living things that have NO nucleus in their cell body | bacterium |
the tissue through which water and minerals move UP through a plant | xylem |
the layer of tissue just inside the epidermis of a plant’s roots and stems | cortex |
the outermost layer of plant parts such as roots and leaves | epidermis |
a thin covering made up of cells that protects the root tip of a plant as it grows into the soil | root cap |
threadlike projections from a plant root that absorb water and dissolved minerals from the soil | root hairs |
tissue through which food from the leaves moves DOWN through a plant | phloem |
a layer that separates the xylem from the phloem. This is where new xylem and phloem grow | cambium |
the part of the plant cell that contains chlorophyll | chloroplast |
the loss of water through a plant’s leaves | transpiration |
the food making process in green plants that uses energy from the sun’s light plus water, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and minerals to make food | photosynthesis |
the release of energy in both plants and animals from food | respiration |
