On the Farm 1

What is photosynthesis?

• producing foods without the use of lots of artificial chemicals

• process that uses oxygen from the air to release energy from food; CO2 is given off as a waste product

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

• process where carbon dioxide and water are used by plants to make food (glucose) and oxygen

What is aerobic respiration?

• these are found in plant cells and are where the plant makes food using photosynthesis.

• process that uses oxygen from the air to release energy from food; CO2 is given off as a waste product

• cell that helps to open and close stomata

• process where carbon dioxide and water are used by plants to make food (glucose) and oxygen

What is chlorophyll?

• these are found in plant cells and are where the plant makes food using photosynthesis.

• green substance found inside chloroplasts; it traps light energy from the Sun to power photosynthesis

• leaf cell that contains many chloroplasts

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

What are Chloroplasts?

• cell that helps to open and close stomata

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

• these are found in plant cells and are where the plant makes food using photosynthesis.

• leaf cell that contains many chloroplasts

What is the definition of diffusion?

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

• movement of particles from areas where there are lots of them to areas where there are less of them

• tube made of living phloem cells which transports dissolved substances (e.g. sugars) around plant

• when a plant droops because it has too little water

What are Guard cells?

• cell that helps to open and close stomata

• root cell with a large surface area to help the cell to absorb water quickly

• these are found in plant cells and are where the plant makes food using photosynthesis

• leaf cell that contains many chloroplasts

What is organic farming?

• process where carbon dioxide and water are used by plants to make food (glucose) and oxygen

• when a plant droops because it has too little water

• green substance found inside chloroplasts; it traps light energy from the Sun to power photosynthesis

• producing foods without the use of lots of artificial chemicals

What are Palisade Cells?

• root cell with a large surface area to help the cell to absorb water quickly

• these are found in plant cells and are where the plant makes food using photosynthesis

• leaf cell that contains many chloroplasts

• tube made of living phloem cells which transports dissolved substances (e.g. sugars) around plant

What is the phloem vessel?

• tube made of living phloem cells which transports dissolved substances (e.g. sugars) around plant

• cell that helps to open and close stomata

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

• when a plant droops because it has too little water

What are root hair cells?

• leaf cell that contains many chloroplasts

• cell that helps to open and close stomata

• holes in leaves through which gases diffuse – they are opened and closed by guard cells

• root cell with a large surface area to help the cell to absorb water quickly
