Many small vacuoles

The variable that we make different in an experiment. The "cause"

How does the amount of sunlight effect how long the leaves on a tree stay green? Independent variable?

Cell Wall

How does the amount of sunlight effect how long the leaves on a tree stay green? Controlled variable?

Photosynthesis

Large Central Water Vacuole

The variable that we keep the same in an experiment?

Vacuoles

Chloroplasts

How does the amount of sunlight effect how long the leaves on a tree stay green? Dependent variable?

Cellulose

The variable that we measure in an experiment. The effect

Independent variable definition

how much sun the tree gets

Material that makes up the cell wall of a plant cell.

Dependent variable definition

The amount of water the the tree receives

A process that plants use to convert the sun's energy into sugars that the plant can use.

An organelle found in plant cells that capture the sun's energy and convert the light energy into chemical energy.

A rigid layer of cellulose outside the cell membrane, that gives the plant and the cell, structure, and support.

Examples of eukaryotic cells

How long the leaves on a tree stay green

An organelle found in plant cells that stores mainly water this helps create pressure that inflates the cell.

Organelles only found in animal cells that break down and digest food particles and worn out cell parts.

Controlled variable definition

Organelles found in animal cells that store food, water and waste.

A green pigment found in chloroplasts that help trap the sun's energy.

An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that store food, water and waste.
