Unit 4: Plants Study Guide
I am signing this to inform that my child studied the material for the Plant Kingdom Test and completed this guide by Thursday, November 9th, and is prepared to take the
unit test the following day.
Parent Signature ____________________________________
Test is Thursday, November 10th
Vocabulary:
1. __________________Kingdom of multicellular autotrophs that rely on energy from the sun to produce
their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
2. __________________Process that occurs in the chloroplast of autotrophs that requires sunlight, carbon
dioxide, and water.
3. __________________Tough outer part of plant cells that provides protection and support.
4. __________________ Process that occurs in the mitochondria that uses oxygen to break down glucose in
order to release cellular energy (ATP).
5. __________________ Pigment found in the chloroplast that is responsible for capturing the sun’s energy
in the process of photosynthesis.
