Question Through which part of a plant are water and minerals taken in? Tap to flip Answer The roots. Question Through which part of a plant are light and gases from the air taken in? Tap to flip Answer The leaves. Question Why do plants need minerals? Tap to flip Answer To stay healthy and grow. Question Are water and minerals food for a plant? Tap to flip Answer No: plants need them, but they are not food. Question In biology, what is food? Tap to flip Answer Any substance an organism uses as a source of both energy and materials for growth and repair. Question What is a producer? Tap to flip Answer An organism that makes its own food. Question Do plants take in food from their surroundings? Tap to flip Answer No: they are producers that make their own food. Question What type of nutrient is the food that plants make? Tap to flip Answer Carbohydrate, which they use for growth and as a source of energy. Question What process do producers use to make their own food? Tap to flip Answer Photosynthesis. Question What condition must be present for photosynthesis to happen? Tap to flip Answer Light: photosynthesis can only happen when there is light. Question What are the reactants of photosynthesis? Tap to flip Answer Water and carbon dioxide. Question What are the products of photosynthesis? Tap to flip Answer Oxygen and glucose. Question Is light a chemical reactant in photosynthesis? Tap to flip Answer No. Question What type of substance is glucose? Tap to flip Answer A sugar (a carbohydrate). Question Which two elements make up carbon dioxide? Tap to flip Answer Carbon and oxygen. Question Why is a word summary of photosynthesis only a model of the process? Tap to flip Answer Because photosynthesis involves many chemical reactions. Question In which structures in plant cells does photosynthesis take place? Tap to flip Answer Chloroplasts. Question What is chlorophyll? Tap to flip Answer A green substance inside chloroplasts that absorbs light for photosynthesis. Question Why are plant leaves thin? Tap to flip Answer To let light pass through to the cells containing chloroplasts. Question Why do plant leaves have a large surface area? Tap to flip Answer To absorb light for photosynthesis. Question In biology, what is an adaptation? Tap to flip Answer A feature that helps an organism to function and survive. Question Which gas do leaves take in from the air for photosynthesis? Tap to flip Answer Carbon dioxide. Question Which gas made by photosynthesis do leaves release into the air? Tap to flip Answer Oxygen. Question What is the name for leaves taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen? Tap to flip Answer Gas exchange. Question What are stomata? Tap to flip Answer Small holes in the surfaces of a leaf, used for gas exchange. Question What do guard cells do? Tap to flip Answer They change shape to open and close the stomata. Question How do gas molecules move through open stomata? Tap to flip Answer By diffusion. Question What causes diffusion? Tap to flip Answer The continuous random movement of molecules of a gas or a liquid. Question In diffusion, what is net movement? Tap to flip Answer More molecules moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration than the other way.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong.
