13
__________ and __________ _________ have many parts in common, but animal cells do not have _________ _________ or _______________. The _____________ store food, nutrients, and wastes in a cell.
14
Time to test yourself! Can you label this diagram of a plant cell?
15
__________ and some green plants are single celled, ___________ organisms. They give off ____________ as a waste product. They make their ________ ____________. _________ __________ organisms trap ____________ from the sunlight in the _________________ where they make food. _________ organisms do not have a heart or brain.
16
___________ are __________ organisms with many cells.
___________ are single celled algae that live in water. They are _________ organisms with 1 cell. ___________ are __________ organisms with many cells.
17
Complex organisms have many ____________ kinds of cells
Complex organisms have many ____________ kinds of cells. In complex organisms: ________ make up tissues. Tissues make up ___________. ________ make up organ systems. An example of a complex organism with many cells is a flower.
18
How are simple and complex organisms the same? How are they different?
No distinct organs Some made of single cells Some made of many similar cells Many different kinds of cells Different kinds of tissues Have organ systems Carry out life processes Made of cells
19
Quiz Time! What do all living things have in common? Made of cells
Carry out life processes
20
Life Processes Take in nutrients Grow and develop Reproduce
Release energy Give off wastes React to surroundings
21
In complex organisms… Cells Tissues Organ systems Organs
22
Life Processes of Plants
Lesson 2: Life Processes of Plants
23
Key Vocabulary
24
1. chlorophyll - a green material in plants that traps energy from sunlight and gives leaves their green color
25
2. leaf- the part of a plant that uses sunlight and air to help the plant make food
26
3. photosynthesis- the process plants use to make food
27
4. root- the part of a plant that takes in water (moisture) and nutrients from the ground
28
5. seed- An undeveloped plant sealed in a protective coating
29
6. stem- the part of the plant that carries food, water, and nutrients to and from the roots and leaves

Notes
31
In most plants, food is made in the ___________.
A plant has 3 main parts: ________ In most plants, food is made in the ___________. Plants provide us with _________ to breathe. If we had no plants, we wouldn’t have enough oxygen.
32
3 types of leaves: __________ leaves- thick leaves that help the plant store water. (dry areas) _______leaves- help plants trap energy from sunlight. (moist areas) ____________ leaves- grow in dry and cold climates
33
2 types of roots: ____root- one large, main root Examples: _____________ and ______________ _________ roots- roots that branch out in a netlike pattern to gather water from a wide area
34
Match that Root! Fibrous roots taproot

36
Match that Stem! Thick stem Soft stem Woody stem
