| Plants need | air, water, energy from food, and a place to live |
| Plants are unlike animals because they | make their own food |
| The parts of a plant are the | roots, stem, leaves |
| Roots keep large plants from | falling over |
| Roots keep small plants from | blowing away |
| Some plants use their roots to store | food |
| A thick, single root | taproot |
| Roots that spread out in the soil | fibrous roots |
| Leaves are | the main food making part of a plant |
| The protective layer of a leaf | epidermis |
| The stomata | tiny openings that help control how quickly a plant lose water |
| Extra water exits a plant throug the stomata in a process called | transpiration |
| Leaves are green because | they contain chlorophyll |
| Photosynthesis | A plant's food making process |
| Plants need these to do photosynthesis | sunlight, water, carbon dioxide |
| The end results of photosynthesis | sugar and oxygen |
| A plant use oxygen to break apart sugars and release carbon dioxide during | Respiration |
| Photosynthesis stores/makes | energy |
| Respiration | releases energy |
| The epidermis of a leaf is found on | the top and bottom of a leaf |
| This gas must enter a leaf for photosynthesis to occur | carbon dioxide |
| Traps energy from sunlight and gives leaves their green color | chlorophyll |
