............................. Controls what enters and exits the cell

.................................... A strong rigid wall that provides support for to the cell

_______________ from the sun

_______________ from the air

_______________ from the soil

_____________ __

................................ Controls the cell

................................ A space in the cell that contains sap

................................ A jelly-like substance that contains organelles

................................ The insoluble (stored) form of glucose

Creative Thinking ? How could you teach balancing equations to someone else?

Extension ? True or False

1. Plants get food from the soil ........ 2. Plants make food in their green leaves ......... 3. Water gives the plant the food it needs.......... 4. To make food a plant needs oxygen .......... 5. Chlorophyll is green .......... 6. Photosynthesis makes chlorophyll .......... 7. Photosynthesis is when the plant makes food in

its leaves ..........

8. A plant needs water to make food .......... 9. The plant gets food from the sun .......... 10. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis .......... 11. The speed of photosynthesis is always the same in a

leaf .......... 12. The speed of photosynthesis depends on the

temperature ..........
