Adaptation- An adaptation is a feature of a plant or animal that helps them to survive in their habitat. Survive- To survive means to continue to stay alive. Photosynthesis- The way in which plants make food in their leaves is called photosynthesis. Environment- An environment is the surroundings or conditions that an animal or plant lives in.
Key learning points. Plants are living things and need the right conditions to grow and stay healthy. Plants need air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow. Scientists can investigate what plants need by observing plant growth when requirements are removed. A comparative test investigation can be carried out to investigate plant ...

Plants usually get the light they need from the Sun. But they can also grow in artificial light. Plants use light energy to make a type of sugar calledglucose. They use glucose as their energy source. Plants make glucose in a part of their leaf cells called the chloroplast. Each chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. It’s what all...
Air contains many gases. They include nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour. Using energy from light, plants chemically combine carbon dioxide and water to create glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Plants also absorb oxygen gas from the air. Like animals, plants need oxygen to respire. Respirationis the process o...
Plants need water for photosynthesis. Absorbed by the roots, water travels through a plant’s stems to the chloroplasts in the leaves. Water also helps move nutrients from the soil into the plant. Too little water can cause a plant to wilt or droop. Too much water can cause a plant’s roots to rot.
Nutrients are substances that nourish a plant. In particular, plants need nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium. When dissolved in water, these nutrients get absorbed by a plant’s roots. If a plant can’t get the nutrients it needs from the soil, fertilizercan help. Fertilizer provides plants with essential nutrients and helps them grow faster.
All living things need space. A plant’s roots need space so that they can spread out and absorb water and nutrients. Its leaves need space so that they access light. When plants grow too close together, they have to competefor these resources. Without enough water, nutrients and light, plants can grow tall and thin or short and stunted. Overcrowded...
