The study of how organs function and the complex chemical processes that permit the plant to live, grow and reproduce is

This is a living thing that grows in the ground, usually has leaves or flowers, and needs sun and water to survive

This is the food factory of a plant. Where photosynthesis takes place and provides shade to cool the plant.

___________ is the process by which living cells (plant or animal) take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. Uses sugars & starches produced by photosynthesis and converts them into energy.

The backbone of the plant. Holds it up and provides a path for nutrients and water to travel.

This is how the plant anchors itself into the ground and takes up nutrients.

These serve as a means for plants to produce more of themselves. Produced within the flower.

This is the reproduction center of the plant. Attracts pollinators and aid in the transfer of Pollen to Ovules

This is a necessary component for the process of photosynthesis to occur. Provides the energy for the chemical reaction to happen.

Which of these are the smallest particles that make up a soil's texture?

This type of water is also know as "non-available"

______ refers to the relatively constant soil water content reached after 48 hours drainage of water from a saturated soil

_________ is the water available for plant growth held between Field Capacity and Permanent Wilting Point.

Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s atmosphere, but plants cannot absorb atmospheric nitrogen gas from the air

This process can occur during the day and night.

What factors can affect photosynthesis?

How many horizons did we discuss in our class?

What does the R horizon consist of?

Why is the E horizon so pale in color?
