Photosynthesis - What is the process that plants use to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, Sunlight - The energy needed for photosynthesis to take place, Chlorophyll - The green pigment in leaves that absorbs sunlight, Glucose - The name of the simple sugar produced in photosynthesis, Oxygen - This gas is a waste product of photosynthesis, Hydroponics - This is a method of growing plants without using soil, water is used to deliver all nutrients the plants need, Root - The part of a plant that absorbs water , Leaf - The part of a plant that absorbs sunlight, Stomata - These are on the underside of a leaf and regulate water loss through the leaves, guard cells are on either side of this, Starch - A carbohydrate used by plants to store glucose, this carbohydrate turns iodine blue-black, Iodine - This is used to test for starch, if starch is present it turns blue-black, Nitrates - Salts that plants get from the soil which are needed in order to make proteins and DNA, Carbondioxide - This gas is absorbed by plants to use in photosynthesis, Pesticide - Chemicals that are sprayed onto plants to kill pest organisms, Herbicide - Chemicals that are used to kill pest plants that are growing alongside crops, Insecticide - Chemicals used to kill pest insects that are eating crops, Biologicalcontrol - Using living things to kill or deter pests rather than using chemicals, Eutrophication - The term for when fertilisers are washed into lakes or rivers causing algae to grow and block out sunlight, Fertiliser - Chemicals that are used to help plants to grow faster or better, Biodiversity - The range of different species that live in a habitat, Producer - These organisms produce the biomass in a food chain and are usually plants, Consumer - These organisms eat other organisms in a food chain, Biomass - The dry mass of an organism, DDT - A pesticide that was banned because it bioaccumulated in bird species causing egg shell thinning, Bioaccumulation - The gradual build-up of substances, such as pesticides or other chemicals in an organism, Respiration - The process that living things do to produce energy from glucose, Cellulose - What plant cell walls are made of, Vacuole - The part of a plant cell that is filled with sap, Cell wall - The part of a plant cell that supports the shape of the cell, Chloroplast - The part of a plant cell that contains chlorophyll ,
