Why does the plant need glucose?
For energy
What do the plants leaves need to absorb?
Sunlight
Why are the chloroplasts important?
For photosynthesis
What is the flower and its petals important for?
attracting bees for reproduction making new seeds that make new flowers
What is biomass?
An increase in the dry mass of biological material over a given period of time
How can a plant increase its biomass?
Keep photosynthesising
