glucose - a simple sugar made during photosynthesis and source of energy (C6H12O6), photosynthesis - the process of green plants using water, air, and energy from light to make their own food (sugar), cellular respiration - the process of burning sugars to create energy for the plants growth, transpiration - the loss of water vapor through the stomata in the leaves, chlorophyll - a green pigment, present in all green plants responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis., roots - Absorbs water and minerals from the ground. Anchors plant in ground., leaves - The part of the plant where photosynthesis takes place, stem - Transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - gas needed by plants for photosynthesis, Oxygen - gas given off by a plant as a waste product during photosynthesis, Chloroplast - organelle in a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place, phototropism - the bending of a plant toward a light source, Botany - the science of studying plants, soil profile - a vertical layering of levels of soil, loam - combination of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter (ideal soil type), decomposer - a living thing that breaks down dead plants and animals, pedosphere - layer of Earth's surface containing soil, flower petal - part of the flower that attracts insects for pollination, pollination - process by which pollen grains are transferred to produce new seeds, stamen - male reproductive part of a flower that produces pollen, pistil - female reproductive part of the flower (contains the stigma, style, and ovary), mitochondria - organelle where cellular respiration takes place (converting glucose to energy),
