What is the chemical symbol/ formula for water? - H2O, What is the chemical symbol/ formula for Oxygen? - O2, What is the chemical symbol for Carbon Dioxide? - CO2, What is the chemical symbol/ formula for Glucose? - C6H12O2, What is Photosynthesis? - It is a process where plants make their own food using energy from the sun, carbon dioxide (enter through the stomata) and water (enter through the roots) to make glucose. They also give off oxygen. Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts with the help of the pigment, chlorophyll., What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis? - CO2 + H2O (with sunlight) = C6H12O2 +O2, What is chlorophyll?  - Pigment in plants (helps take in light energy and gives plants its colour), What are stomata? - Tiny openings in plants. , A synonym for glucose? - Carbohydrates/ sugar, Producer example? - Plant , What is a herbivore? - An animal that eats plants. , What is a carnivore? - An animal that eats other animals. , E.g. of a decomposer? - Fungi, bacteria , The primary product of photosynthesis? - Glucose, What is a food chain? - Energy that is passed on when an animal eats another animal or a plant., What is an important byproduct of photosynthesis? - Oxygen, A compound necessary for photosynthesis? - Carbon Dioxide , The number of carbon atoms involved in photosynthesis (glucose)? - 6, Chlorophyll doesn't absorb this colour from sunlight.. - Green , A common compound necessary for photosynthesis and produced by photosynthesis? - Water , Cell that contains cholophyll? - Choloplasts. , Part of plant optimised for photosynthesis to occur? - Leaf, Where does a plant get carbon dioxide from? - From the air (we/ animals breathe out) (through tiny holes in the leaves called stomata)., What would happen to a plant if it did not get sunlight? Explain. - The plant would not be able to make food. It would become weak and may die., Why are plants called “producers” in a food chain? - Plants make their own food using sunlight, so they produce energy for other living things., How are animals dependent on photosynthesis? - Animals depend on plants for food and oxygen. Without photosynthesis, animals could not survive., Oxygen - Gas in the air that plants and animals need to breathe. Made through photosynthesis., Carbon Dioxide - Gas in the air that humans and animals give off when they breathe. Needed for photosynthesis. , Insulation? - Protect something from loss/ heat/ damage , Carbohydrates? - Energy rich nutrients like sugar or starch, Protein? - Nutrient for growth and repair, Fat? - Solid, energy rich nutrients , Vitamin? - Nutrient like vitamin C, Mineral? - Nutrients like calcium gives us strong bones, Niche? - Unique role of an organism., How does a decomposer get energy? - Breaking down dead matter., Precipitation? - Any water that falls from the sky. , Scat? - Animal dung/ droppings., Population? - Group of organisms in same ecosystem/, Non-living? - No alive parts of eco-system, Elevation? - Height above sea level., Addaptation - The way a plant/ animal changes to fit environment., Ecology - The study of ecosystems, Ecosystem - Where living/ non-living things meet/live, Ecologist - A person who studies ecosytems., Species - A group of organisms that can interbreed and produce offspring. , Habitat - Place where organisms live/ home,
