What are the two types of “feeders”?
autotroph and heterotroph
organisms that make their own food
autotroph
What is an example of an autotroph?
plants
means that they cannot make their own food so they consume other things
heterotroph
How do autotrophs get their own “food”?
photosynthesis
“photo” means…
light
“synthesis” means…
create
Plants convert the energy from the sun into_____________.
glucose
Plants use this chemical energy to fuel other _____________.
reactions
Plants store chemical energy as ____________.
starch
Heterotrophs obtain food from __________.
autotrophs
Heterotrophs also obtain food from other ____________.
heterotrophs
Which is the autotroph in the picture?
grass
Without autotrophs and ______________life as we know it on earth would not exist…
photosynthesis
What materials do plants use from the ground and air to make food?
water, carbon dioxide
What energy source is needed for the plants to make food?
sunlight
What is the food that plants make?
glucose
What is the chemical that powers photosynthesis in plants?
chlorophyll
Why do you begin to see yellow and green colors in leaves during the fall?
chlorophyll disappears
Which is the heterotroph in the picture?
cow
What makes up vascular tissues of the plant?
xylem, phloem
photosynthesis equation
Products of Photosynthesis are oxygen and ______.
glucose
cellular respiration equation
True or false? Autotrophs do not go through cellular respiration.
false
Heterotrophs
cellular respiration
structure in plant cells where photosynthesis happens
chloroplast
used by conifers for reproduction (to produce seeds)
cones
evergreens with needle-like leaves that make cones to produce seeds
conifer
stored food in a seed that become the first leaves
cotyledon
plant that makes seeds with two food storage areas (two seed leaves)
dicot
growth and activity of a plant or seed stops due to changes in water or temperature
dormancy
used by some plants for reproduction (to produce seeds)
flowers
located on the underside of leaves, they open and close stomata
guard cells
soft, usually green stems that are not very supportive
herbaceous stem
plant that makes seeds with one food storage area (one seed leaf)
monocot
small plants that cannot easily transport food and water through the plant
nonvascular plants
tubes in vascular plants that transport food (glucose)
phloem
the process that plants use to make glucose (food)
water + carbon dioxide + solar energy ->oxygen + sugar (food)
water + carbon dioxide + solar energy ->oxygen + sugar (food)
photosynthesis
the process plants use get energy from food by breaking down sugar in the cells
oxygen + sugar (food) ->water + carbon dioxide + energy
oxygen + sugar (food) ->water + carbon dioxide + energy
respiration
made by most plants to reproduce; contain embryo, cotyledon and seed coat
seeds
made by plants that do not make seeds to reproduce; much smaller than seeds
spores
(plural-stoma) openings or holes in leaves that let gases in and out
stomata
plants that can transport food (sugar) and water throughout the plant
vascular plants
strong, hard stems that can support very tall plants
woody stem
tubes in vascular plants that transport water and minerals
xylem
glucose
carbon dioxide
water
flowering vascular plants
angiosperm
non-flowering vascular plants
gymnosperm
dicot example
oak tree
monocot example
corn plant
