| MRSCGREN | Move-Respire-Sense- Cell- Grow-Reproduce-Excrete- Nutrition |
| Plants | producers - many box like regular cells |
| Animals | consumers - move - many cells |
| Fungi | absorb food from decaying matter |
| Protist | one cell - some plant like some animal like |
| Monera | one cell - simple cell with no nucleus |
| cell | very small building blocks of all living things, discovered by Robert Hook, smallest living thing to perform all living functions, all cells come from pre exisiitng cells |
| plant cell | regular box like shape. Organelles are: cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplast, cytoplasm,nucleus, large vacuole |
| animal cell | irregular shape - 3 organelles: cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm |
| leaf parts | Lamina ( blade) stomata, veins, margin, rib, petiole |
| Germination | onset of growth in a plant embryo. Requires warmth, Oxygen, water |
| Photosynthesis | process that plants have to make their own food. Combine Co2, water and energy from the sun to make glucose. They expire oxygen. chemical equation: carbon dioxide + water -> glucose and oxygen |
| Xylem | a system in plants to transport water from the roots to the leaves |
| Phloem | moves food from the leaves to the rest o f the plant |
| transpiration | process by which water moves up the plant against gravity |
| capillary action | attractive forces between the water molecules in the liquid |
| parts of a flower | petal, stamen,stigma, style, carpel, anther, filament,style, nectary pollen, ovary |
| Pollination | process used by plants to reproduce. Either by wind or animals |
| Fertilisation | the fusion of male and female gametes. Pollen contains male gametes |
| cotyledon, | embryonic leaf within a seed |
| monocotyledons | plants with one cotyledon ( embryonic leaf within the seed) |
| dicotyledons | plants with 2 cotyledons( embryonic leaf within the seed) |
| micropyle | small hole where water is absorbed into a seed to begin germination |
| testa | Outer layer of the seed that is split open in germination |
| plumule | embryonic seed bud |
| radical | root of a seed |
| germination | growth of a seed |
| seed dispersal | spreading of seeds over a distance. critical part of the reproductive process of plants |
