Plant Life Flashcards
What are autotrophs? What is autotrophic nutrition?
All organisms need food for growth and energy. Green plants can prepare their own food, hence they are called autotrophs
type of nutrition is known as autotrophic nutrition.
These plants form a simple solible carbohydrates ___________and later form ______________ in the presence of _____________
Glucose , starch,sumlight and chlorophyll
Photosynthesis occurs in the ________________
Mesophl cells of the leaf
What do chloroplast contain
Chlorophyll
What is the stomata
Stomata [singular - stoma] are tiny openings found mainly on the lower surface of the leaves. These openings are surrounded by a pair of bean-shaped cells called guard cells.
What is the function of the stomata
The main function of the stomata is to let in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis and release oxygen.
What is polymerisation?
So, several molecules of glucose join together to form insoluble he starch for temporary storage in the leaf is called polymerisation
Aerobic respiration utilizes ____________
Oxygen
What what is formed in aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide and water is formed
What is photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, containing chlorophyll, produce food substance, from carbon dioxide and water using light energy
Give the equation of photosynthesis
6CO2+ 12H20
sunlight
chlorophyll ะก6 H1206+6H20 +602
what is anaerobic respiration
it occurs in the absence of oxygen
what is respiration
when glucose breaks down to release energy
in photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a __________________
by product
photosynthesis occurs in plant cells containing ___________
chlorophyll
