LEAF ANATOMY
stomata or stomates; tiny openings involved in the exchange of gases
(CO2, O, etc.)
Stoma
an organism that can produce its own food using light, water,
CO2, or other chemicals.
Autotrophs
leaves is to collecting solar energy, like how roots is to collecting _______
water and minerals
process in which light energy from the sun is changed to
chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
releases energy. breaks down food into simpler substances.
Cellular Respiration
a single layer of cells that permits most of light that strikes
them to pass through a thylakoid membrane.
Upper Epidermis
(Consumers) - an organism that cannot produce its own
food, instead takes nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly
plant or animal matter.
Heterotrophs
enters the plant through the stoma bordered by the guard cells, same goes for the exiting oxygen. Plants take this in for energy.
3 stages of calvin cycle?
Carbon Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration
A major process in cellular respiration, Utilizes glucose.
Glycolysis
contains a lot of chloroplasts (colour pigment) and is
the most busiest part of the leaf.
Palisade mesophyll
organisms that obtain energy by oxidation of electron
donors in their environments. Example, Rust
Chemotrophs -
this is needed for photosynthesis as it is forwarded to the cells’ chloroplasts.
Sunlight
_________ Happens in the absence of light. this is where the __________ happens only exclusive to this reaction.
Dark Reaction/Light Independent Reaction, Calvin Cycle
takes place in mitochondria.
- The second stage in cellular respiration continues where glycolysis left off.
- Before the 3-carbon pyruvate enters the ______; it is converted into a
two-carbon molecule called Acetyl-CoA
Kreb's Cycle
responsible for the interchange of gases. Has Xylem and Phloem as specialized tissues.
Spongy mesophyll
organisms that carry out photon capture to produce
complex organic compounds and acquire energy.
Phototrophs
what type of energy strikes the thylakoid membranes, in which stimulates the chlorophyll causing the pigments to lose electrons.
Light Energy
_________ happens when sunlight strikes the thylakoid, its light energy excites the chlorophyll pigment in photosystem II.
Light Dependent Reaction.
Aerobic Respiration __________ oxygen, but Anaerobic Respiration is ___________ to use oxygen.
required, not required/needed
waxy covering; covers the outermost layer of leaves, young shoots,
and aerial plants; purpose is to serve and to reduce water loss.
Cuticle
Cyanobacteria, Photosynthetic protists, Plants, Algae, Chemosynthetic
bacteria
Autotrophs
This is the process in which electrons combine together to produce energy for the plant.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
3 types of pigments
Chlorophyll A, B, and Carotenoids
a process of using concentration gradients (materials needed
by the cell) in the production of ATP.
4 Carbon Compounds + NADH will undergo ETC to the process of _______
Chemiosmosis
