PHOTOSYNTHESIS Flashcards
WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS
THE PROCESS THAT PRODUCES GLUCOSE IN PLANTS
HOW IS THE PROCESS IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS HAPPENS INSIDE THE CHLOROPLAST, WHICH ARE FOUND IN LEAF CELLS AND IN OTHER GREEN PARTS OF A PLANT
CHLOROPLAST CONTAIN A PIGMENT CALLED CHLOROPHYLL, WHICH ABSORBS SUNLIGHT AND USES ITS ENERGY TO CONVERT CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER INTO GLUCOSE (OXYGEN IS ALSO PRODUCED)
PHOTOSYNTHESIS CONVERTS (…) TO (…)
LIGHT ENERGY TO CHEMICAL ENERGY
WHERE IS THE CHEMICAL ENERGY STORED
IN THE GLUCOSE
WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL ENERGY RELEASED
WHEN GLUCOSE IS BROKEN DURING RESPIRATION
LEAVES ARE BROAD SO THERES A…
LARGE SURFACE AREA EXPOSED TO LIGHT
WHY IS ALL THE CHLOROPLAST FOUND IN THE PALISADE LAYER
SO THAT THEY ARE NEAR THE TOP OF THE LEAF TO GET MOST OF THE LIGHT
THE (…) IS TRANSPARENT SO THAT LIGHT CAN PÂSS THROUGHT IT TO THE PALISADE LAYER
UPPER EPIDERMIS
WHAT ARE THE VASCULAR BUNDLES
THE TRANSPARENT VESSELS XYLEM AND PHLOEM
WHAT DOES THE VASCULAR BUNDLES DO
THEY DELIVER WATER AND OTHER NUTRIENTS TO EVERY PART OF THE LEAF AND TAKE AWAY THE GLUCOSE PRODUCED BY PHORTOSYNTHESIS
