Plant Nutrition

3. Process through which plants obtain the energy they need for their living processes.
5. Substance broken down to sucrose.
9. The green pigment in the chloroplast that traps the light energy needed for photosynthesis.
12. Specially adapted cells that surround the stomata to open and close it.
13. Mineral component absorbed by plant in order to be able to produce amino acids.
14. The waxy layer over the surface of the epidermis that prevents the water loss.

1. The liquid raw material needed for photosynthesis.
2. The upper layer of elongated, regularly arrange photosynthetic cells in the leaf which contain large numbers of chloroplasts.
4. The lower layer of photosynthetic cell in the leaf with large air spaces between them to allow diffusion of gases for gas exchange.
5. Whole in the epidermis that opens to allow gas exchange and closes to prevent water loss.
6. The process by which plants manufacture carbohydrates from raw materials using energy from light.
7. Product of respiration that diffuses out of leaves.
8. The monosaccharide carbohydrate product of photosynthesis which is used by the plant as a source of energy.
10. The gaseous product of photosynthesis.
11. The solution that contains salts such as potassium nitrate and magnesium sulphate and is used to improve plants growth without the need of sterilising the soil.
