Photosynthesis videos Flashcards
What is photosynthesis
Plants get their energy from the soil, air, and su
Plants need carbon dioxide, sun, water
Plants take in water from soil through its roots
- Xylem: interior
- Phloem: exterior
Leaves breathe in air from stomata pores (underside)
Mesophyll cells are soft a squishy
- chloroplasts are the tiny notes
- chlorophyll makes the leafs green
Sunlight is stored in the Granum in the thylakoid membrane and photosynthesis takes place
Carbon +sunlight +water = glucose +oxygen
Glucose is the food
Oxygen is the waste gas
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll they can absorb light which you can think of is little packets of energy and he uses his energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
Equation: 6CO2+6H2O~C6H12O6 +602
Transferred to the chloroplasts by light
Carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaves through the stomata. And then the water is taking up from the soil by the roost and transported to the leaves of the xylem
Clore cell is the pigment with in the chloroplast out of sorts to lay energy needed for photosynthesis
The less chlorophyll still the less photosynthesis done
Light intensity increases so does photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide increases is a limiting factor
Glucose:
- Solar respiration breaks glucose apart to release energy
- A lot of glucose can be combined to make cellulose which plants use to strengthen their cell wall
- They can also be merged to make starch
- Amino acids can combine the glucose molecules with nitrate ions which they get from the soil and they can combine these amino acids to make proteins
- They can make oil’s and found that can be stored as future energy
Calvin cycle
The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow. Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food.
