Life processes in plants

1. The form released during respiration and used by plants for growth and development.
4. Tiny pores on the surface of leaves that help in the exchange of gases.
6. The simple carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis that later gets converted into starch for storage.
7. The part of a plant that takes up water and minerals from the soil.
8. The movement of water, minerals and food within the plant.
10. The thin tube-like structure that transports food from leaves to all parts of the plant.
12. The thin tube-like structure that transports water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant.
16. The gas from the air that is essential for plants to prepare starch.
17. A raw material absorbed by roots and used in photosynthesis.
18. The solution used to test the presence of starch in a leaf.

2. The process in which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen releasing carbon dioxide, water and energy.
3. The primary site for photosynthesis in plants.
5. The green pigment in leaves that helps in capturing sunlight efficiently.
9. A natural substance in leaves that gives them colour and helps in photosynthesis.
11. The gas released during photosynthesis.
13. A type of carbohydrate stored in the leaves of a plant and detected by the iodine test.
14. The process by which plants prepare food in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
15. The source of carbon dioxide used in the process of photosynthesis.
