---|---|---|---|---|
What is the cell/plasma membrane?
This part of the cell controls what enters and exits, thereby aiding in maintaining homeostasis.
|
What is oxygen?
This gas is a waste product released by plants during photosynthesis.
|
What are the mitochondria?
These are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic cells.
|
What are the petals?
This is the part of the flower that is used to attract pollinators.
|
Who is Barack Obama?
This politician started as a US senator and later became the first black president of the United States.
|
What are chloroplasts?
These organelles are the site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.
|
What is chemical energy?
Plants use solar energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into this type of energy.
|
What is ATP?
This product of cellular respiration provides energy for the cell to function.
|
What is the shoots system?
This is the system that distributes glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
|
Who is Michael Jordan?
Known as arguably the greatest basketball player in history, his popular sneaker brand even features his name and likeness.
|
What is xylem?
This vascular tissue is responsible for transporting water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
|
What are chlorophyll?
These structures have the ability to absorb sunlight and give plants their green color.
|
What is aerobic respiration?
A part of cellular respiration has to occur when oxygen is present, meaning it is also this type of respiration.
|
What is the anther?
This is the portion of the stamen where pollen is produced.
|
Who is Michael Jackson?
Known as the "King of Pop", this singer gave us hits like "Thriller", "Billie Jean" and "Man in the Mirror".
|
What is the vacuole?
Plant cells have a very large central one of these that stores a large amount of water and keeps the cell stiff and rigid.
|
What are light, water, and carbon dioxide?
These are the reactants needed for a plant to perform photosynthesis.
|
What is active transport?
The energy produced from cellular respiration is used to power this type of cellular transport.
|
What is phototropism?
This refers to a plant's ability to grow towards light.
|
Who is Serena Williams?
She is considered among the greatest tennis players of all time and has won an impressive 23 grand slam titles.
|
What are stomata?
These are tiny pores in leaves that allow for gas exchange.
|
What is glucose?
Oxygen and this product of photosynthesis become reactants needed to perform cellular respiration.
|
What is carbon dioxide?
Water and this product of cellular respiration become reactants needed to perform photosynthesis.
|
What is transpiration?
This is the evaporation of water from plants through the stomata.
|
Who is Mae Jemison?
Also an accomplished engineer and physician, this NASA astronaut became the first black woman to travel into space.
