Sugary food 1 The new material that an organism makes is called biomass. Glucose is made by photosynthesis. It is used for: making other making new materials for r s t e p i r o n a i s s a u s n b c e t g o t r w h r s i a i u s a c s g o t Glucose is used to make c l l e, f s, p t s and s r h. 2 Match up Starch is used as cell walls. Cellulose is used for stored food. Fats are used for growth. Proteins are used for cell membranes. 3 Seeds have a store of starch and fats to use when they a) move b) grow Tick the correct answer
The roots of the matter 1 Match up Plants need water from the soil for help them to absorb water quickly The roots of plants are spread out to mineral salts Root hair cells have a large surface area to absorb water from the soil Water travels up the plant in phloem tubes The water absorbed from the soil contains wilt If a plant does not have enough water it will start to photosynthesis Glucose is transported around the plant in xylem tubes. 2 Which P are needed for cell membranes and for healthy root growth? 3 Which P is needed to help enzymes in photosynthesis and respiration? 4 Which N are needed to make proteins? potassium nitrates phosphates
A changing atmosphere 1 When the Earth was first formed its t s r was mainly dioxide. The carbon dioxide was produced by v n. There was hardly any x g. When g evolved, they used photosynthesis to turn carbon d d into oxygen. Today the atmosphere is about nitrogen and oxygen. Animals and plants produce carbon dioxide in r p t. Plants take in carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, and keep the atmosphere in l c. Most h s t happens in forests. 20% 80% algae atmosphere balance carbon dioxide oxygen photosynthesis respiration volcanoes 2 a What CD is a gas made by burning fossil fuels? b What M is a gas made by cows digestive systems? c What GG are gases which can trap heat? d What GW means the Earth may be getting hotter? e What F is where most photosynthesis happens?
