Topic 1
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to make food, and oxygen is released as a by-product.
Topic 2
Respiration releases energy, whereas photosynthesis stores energy in food.
Topic 3
Root hairs absorb water, and transpiration helps pull water upward through the plant.

Topic list
Topic 1
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Strong answers include raw materials, conditions, products, and one test or experiment.
Topic 2
Respiration releases energy from food in living cells. Plants respire all the time, and aerobic and anaerobic respiration differ in oxygen use and products formed.
Topic 3
Roots absorb water mainly through root hairs, and transpiration causes loss of water vapour from aerial parts, especially leaves. These two ideas are linked through water movement in the plant.
