Photosynthesis Basics
Turfgrass captures this type of energy during photosynthesis.
What is light energy?
Roots absorb this liquid needed for photosynthesis.
What is water?
Cellular respiration breaks down this sugar.
What is glucose?
This energy-carrying molecule is produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
This process is the loss of water vapor from a plant.
What is transpiration?
Photosynthesis mainly occurs in these cell structures.
What are chloroplasts?
Plants take in this atmospheric gas for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
Most aerobic cellular respiration occurs in these structures.
What are mitochondria?
Above-ground plant tissues obtain oxygen from this source.
What is the atmosphere?
This tissue moves water and minerals upward from the roots.
What is xylem?
This green pigment captures light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
Name the two substances produced during photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
The main purpose of cellular respiration is to release this.
What is usable energy?
Roots obtain oxygen from these spaces in the soil.
What are air spaces?
This tissue transports glucose from leaves to roots and other areas of use or storage.
What is phloem?
Photosynthesis produces this sugar that plants use for energy and growth.
What is glucose?
Name the requirements for photosynthesis listed on the test.
What are light, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll?
Name the two substances required for aerobic cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
Name the three main products of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP?
These four weather conditions generally produce the greatest transpiration rate.
What are warm, sunny, dry, and windy conditions?
This gas is released as a product of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
Write the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂?
Write the chemical equation used on the test for cellular respiration.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP?
Name the process that makes glucose and the process that breaks it down to release usable energy.
What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
List the five stages of the transpiration stream, beginning with soil.
What are soil → roots → xylem → leaves → atmosphere?
