  1. 2. The plant organ where photosynthesis occurs, producing food for the plant.
  2. 3. The factor that is measured in an experiment.
  3. 4. Organic compounds used for long-term energy storage.
  4. 7. The tissue that makes up the majority of the plant body, responsible for storage, photosynthesis, and support.
  5. 10. The group in an experiment that receives the treatment.
  6. 11. A gas produced by plants during photosynthesis.
  7. 12. An organism that makes its own food, usually through photosynthesis.
  8. 14. Numerical data that can be measured and counted.
  9. 15. The factor that is purposely changed in an experiment to observe its effect.
  10. 16. An organism that eats other organisms for energy.
  11. 17. Descriptive data that cannot be measured with numbers.
  12. 18. Organic compounds made of amino acids.
  13. 21. The process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.

  1. 1. A inorganic material taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
  2. 5. Organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that provide energy.
  3. 6. The process by which an embryo in a seed begins to grow into a new plant.
  4. 8. An experiment where only one variable is changed, while all other conditions are kept constant.
  5. 9. An organism that makes its own food and is the base of the food chain.
  6. 13. An organism that obtains food by consuming other organisms.
  7. 16. The group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment, used for comparison.
  8. 19. The plant organ that anchors it in the ground and absorbs water and nutrients.
  9. 20. The plant tissue that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.
  10. 22. The plant organ that supports leaves and transports water, nutrients, and sugars between organs.
