| photosynthesis | the process that plants use to make their own food and to produce oxygen |
| carbon dioxide | What is CO2? |
| Oxygen | What is O2? |
| sugars | the main food of plants which they create through photosynthesis |
| watern | What is H2O? |
| Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sunlight | the 3 materials plants need to conduct photosynthesis |
| Sugar and Oxygen | the 2 materials that plants make as a result of photosynthesis |
| People need to breathe in O2 in order to live | Plants release oxygen - how does this help people? |
| Plants need CO2 to conduct photosynthesis. | People exhale (breathe out) carbon dioxide - how does this help plants? |
| the cell | What is the main building block of life? |
| nucleus | What is the "brain" of the cell? It's found in the center of the cell. |
| DNA (genes) | What does the nucleus of a cell contain? |
| cell membrane | The outer covering of the cell is called the ____________ - it is similar to our skin. |
| cytoplasm | What is the liquid-like part of the cell that makes up most of the cell? |
| cytoplasm | This is found between the cell membrane and the other cell parts (organelles). |
| mitochondria | This is the powerhouse of the cell - where the cell gets its energy |
| vacuoles | Where cells store materials, such as food |
| plant wall | This is found only in plant cells - gives the cell a square shape. |
| chloroplasts | This is found only in plant cells - they contain the chlorophyll that makes a plant green and helps it absorb sunlight. |
