L1 Bio - Plants Life Processes

1. The plant structure that contains a young plant inside a protective covering
2. Found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into food
6. Energy that comes from the sun
7. The reproductive structure of a plant
8. The part of a plant where photosynthesis takes place
11. The liquid used up in photosynthesis
14. Factors such as sunlight availability, CO2 availability, and water availability that speed up or slow down the rate at which photosynthesis can occur
16. An organism that makes its own food, also known as a primary producer
17. Main source of energy for life on earth

1. The leaf converts glucose into this type of sugar that is easily stored
2. A gas that is a requirement for photosynthesis and a waste product of respiration
3. The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants
4. supporting structure that connects roots and leaves and carries water and nutrients between them
5. vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant
6. Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can be exchanged
9. A gas produced by plants during photosynthesis that animals use for respiration
10. The opposite reaction to photosynthesis
12. A simple sugar that is an important source of energy.
13. Absorbs water and minerals from the ground. Anchors plant in ground.
15. A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae
