Plant structure and Photosynthesis

Question 1

what is the equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide + water —-> glucose + oxygen

Question 2

what is the mesophyll tissue?

Answer 2

Just under the leaf wall, where most of photosynthesis takes place

Question 3

what does the xylem and phloem do?

Answer 3

Transport things like water mineral ions and surose

Question 4

what is the epidermal tissue?

Answer 4

Covers the whole plant

Question 5

describe how photosynthesis occurs in plants?

Answer 5

1. Sunlight beats down on the leaf to provide energy for the process
2. Chlorophyll is contained in chloroplasts
3. Water reaches cell via xylem and phloem
4. CO2 diffuses into the leaf
5. All of this gives us photosynthesis
