LEAF is a structure in plants responsible for the acquisition of light and exchange of gases. It is where photosynthesis and transpiration occur. STEM is a structure in plants responsible for the transport of food and water. ROOT is a structure in plants responsible for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil |
PHOTSYNTHESIS - process wherein light energy, water and carbon dioxide are used to form sugars TRANSPIRATION - process wherein water vapor is lost through the stomata STOMATA - structure in the leaves where exchange of gases occurs CHLOROPLAST - structure in plants that contains the green pigment chlorophyll |

CELL CYCLE |
INTERPHASE - a stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for cell division |
|
|
CELL DIVISION - a process in organisms where new cells are formed CYTOKINESIS - the mechanism of cytoplasm division |
MITOSIS - a kind of cell division that produces cells that are clones of the parent cell Example: body cells or any somatic cells METEOSIS - a kind of cell division that produce half the amount of chromosomes of the parent cell Example: gametes or sex cells |
|
|
substances released by ductless glands to elicit a response such as the increase of metabolic activity of the cell and the regulation of genes |
HORMONES |
|
|
Utilization of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide to meet energy requirements of organisms |
RESPIRATION |
|
|
MECHANICAL RESPIRATION - exchange of gases between the organisms and their environment |
CELLULAR RESPIRATION - exchange gases between the cells and the fluid around them thereby producing energy |
