Photosynthesis
process whereby a plant uses sunlight, CO2 and water to make glucose and give out oxygen
Cholorplast
Chlorophyll containing organelle where photosynthesis takes place in
Vhlorophyll
Green pigment found in chloroplasts used for photosynthesis
formula for photosynthesis
<rxns> 6CO2 + 6H2O -> <product>(SUNLIGHT) C6H12O6 + 6O2
</product></rxns>
Stomata
inhales carbon dioxide and releases oxygen
Light rxn
Water to oxygen, happens in thylakoid membrane and in daytime
Dark rxn
Carbon dioxide to glucose, happens in stroma, can happen anytime
Cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> (yields) 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
Adenosine triphosphate vs Adenosine Diphosphate
ATP = rich in energy
ATD = depleted
Seed
a small dormant plant waiting for the right connditions to grow
embryo
needs cell division to form from zygote
plumule
embryonic shoot/stem
radicle
embryonic root
seed coat
outer layer of the seed that protects it, often hard and impermeable from water and gases
endossperm
provides nutrients and makes carbohydrates and proteins
cotyledon
the structures designed for food absorption
monocot and dicot
meh
fruit
ripened ovary of a flower
vegetables
edible parts of a plant like stem, leaves, roots, and bulbs
