Lesson 2.2
Learning Target: Plants are producers.
Review:
Multi cellular organisms have cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
Organisms have adaptations that can make them suited to their environment.
Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity.

Plants capture energy from sunlight and convert it to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Plants take in water and carbon dioxide from the environment and use these simple materials to produce sugar, an energy-rich compound that contains carbon. Oxygen is also produced. Plants are referred to as producers because they produce energy-rich carbon compounds using the Sun's energy.
Another name for a plant is autotroph. Autotroph means self-feeder. Plants do not require food from other organisms.
What is cellular respiration and how does it relate to plants?

Plants respond to their environment
During at hot afternoon, parts of the flower known as the Mexican bird of paradise close. As the Sun goes down, the flower reopens. The plant is responding to a stimulus, in this case, sunlight. A stimulus is something that produces a response from an organism. Plants like all organisms, respond to stimuli in their environment. This ability helps them to survive and grow.
How are plants stimulated by:
Gravity
Touch
Light
