What is the role of the stem in a plant? What is the role of the roots in a plant?
The stem supports the plant and transports nutrients, while the roots anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals.
The stem absorbs water and minerals, while the roots support the plant and transport nutrients.
The stem produces food through photosynthesis, while the roots store energy.

A non-living component of an ecosystem; examples include sunlight, temperature, and water.
A type of organism that can produce its own food; examples include algae, trees, and shrubs.
A process by which organisms break down food to release energy; examples include digestion, respiration, and fermentation.

What is the role of a decomposer in an ecosystem?
To produce energy through photosynthesis
To break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients
To consume primary producers
To compete with herbivores for food
How are fungi different from plants?
What is a niche?
Grace and Linda investigate the effects of three growing conditions on plants. They place each of the three plants that are the same size and type into its own container. The containers are the same shape and size. 1. Plant 1 is given soil and water and put in a clear plastic box where all the air is removed. 2. Plant 2 is given soil and left out in the open, but it does not receive water. 3. Plant 3 is placed in water and left out in the open, but it does not receive soil. The diagram shows what the plants look like after a few days. Explain whether the evidence in the diagram supports or does not support Grace’s claim.
Explain whether the evidence in the diagram supports or does not support Linda’s claim.
