LIVING ENVIORMENT: photosynthesis Flashcards
(41 cards)
Heteratroph
have to get food from their enviorment
Autotroph
can make their own food
Inorganic raw material
simple substances that do not contain hydrogen and carbon together
Raw materials
the substances from the enviorment needed for a reaction
Organic materials
large substances that contain carbon & hydrogen
Epidermis
outer most layer
Cutical
waxy coat that coers the epidermis (prevents excess waterloss)
Stomates
allows the exchange of 02 & CO2
Gaurd cells
controls the opening and the closing of the stomates
Paliside layer
is where most photosynthesis takes place
Vein
contains xylem (water) and phloem (food) and is known as the vacular tissue (top layer of the leaf)
Xylem
transports water ONLY
Phloem
Transport food into the cell
Gaurd cells will open and close the stomates based on their_________
Enviormental conditions
When open stomates allow for the exchange of______
gases & water vapor
Transpiration
release of water vapor from leaves climates & stomates
How do stomates maintain homeostasis?
homeostasis is maintained by gaurd cells opening and closing due to gas exchange and to prevent water loss
Chloroplast are located_____
At the top of the leaf
Chlorplast contains a green pigment called____
Chlorophyll
Chloroplast is where _____ energy is trapped
Light
Chlorophyll
The main pigment of plants that absorb energy from the sun
Thylakoid
sacike photosynthesis membranes in chloroplast
Grana
stacks of thylakoids
Stroma
the region outside the thylakoid membranes
