Q

What is the tissue called that carries the water to the leaves of the plant?

A

Xylem

16
Q

What is the function of the stomata?

A

They open and close to let in and give off the gases carbon dioxide and oxygen.

17
Q

Who does the job of opening and closing the stomata when needed belong?

A

The two guard cells that surround them

18
Q

Where are the chloroplasts of the cells located?

A

Underneath the epidermis

19
Q

What is the outermost layer of the leaf?

A

Epidermis

20
Q

Inside the chloroplasts, what is combined in the presence of light energy and makes what?

A

Carbon dioxide and water combine to make sugars and oxygen

21
Q

What are the tissues that transport the sugars to all of the plant’s cells called?

A

Phloem

22
Q

What are excess sugars stored as in the plant?

A

Starch

23
Q

During photosynthesis, plants produce sugar in the form of what?

A

Carbohydrate

24
Q

What are carbohydrates used for?

A

Xxxx

25
Q

What are sugars stored as?

A

Simple carbohydrates can be stored as food or modified to make structural materials.

26
Q

Carbohydrates also can make cellulose which forms what?

A

Complex carbohydrates made of thousands of simple sugar units.

27
Q

Why is photosynthesis important for animals?

A

It’s their source of energy.

28
Q

What are the two ways animals use photosynthesis?

A
  1. When an animal eats a plant, it takes in the carbohydrates stored in the plant.
  2. (Animal eating another animal). Even carnivores that eat other animals are taking in the carbohydrates that the animals they eat gained from eating plants in the first place.
29
Q

After the plants and animals get the energy they need from carbohydrates, it is released during what?

A

Xxxxx

30
Q

When is the energy in carbohydrates released?

A

Xxxx

31
Q

Photosynthesis and Respiration are what of each other?

A

Opposite
