Plants 101
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is chloroplast?
Desert plants have a thick of this, to prevent water loss through transpiration.
What is a cuticle?
To capture the energy from the sunlight needed for photosythesis.
What is the function of the chloroplasts/chlorophyll?
Glucose in plants can be used for these three main things.
1) What is energy (goes through cellular respiration)?
2) What is store for future energy"
3) What is allows plant to grow?
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots?
The process cells use to food ( glucose/ chemical energy) and turn it into ATP ( usuable celluar chemical energy).
What is Cellular Respiration?
36 atoms in the materials and 36 reactants in the products in the chemical equation demonstrates this law. * You learned it in the fruitloop lab.
What is the law of conservation of matter (mass)?
The estimated % of a trees' mass that comes from carbon dioxide.
What is 95%.
Two or more of these come together to form a molecule.
What are atoms?
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is animals, they excrete it into the atmosphere.
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the materials of cellular respiration? And also the products of photosynthesis?
Energy changing from one form to another was demonstrated by seeing this in class before we learned about photosynthesis.
What is lighting an LED with a battery.
The life function that is demonstrated when a plant performs photosynthesis.
What is "ingestion"/nutrition?
These organisms are not a plants but some can perform photosynthesis.
What are protists and bacteria.
* Note-only some bacteria and some protist can do photosynthesis.
Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen with the help of the sun's light energy.
What is photosynthesis?
Because plants can perform photosynthesis they are often referred to as _______________ or ________________.
What are autotrophs or producers?
The process by which plants give off water vapor through the stomata in their leaves and is released to the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
It is not matter so it is not a material needed for photosynthesis, but it is required for the reaction to proceed and form the products. This is used to break apart the carbon dioxide and water molecules during the process of photosynthesis.
What is light energy? (sunlight)
The pores/small holes on the backside of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters and oxygen water vapor leave.
What are stomata?
The energy that cells use.
What is ATP?
The correct chemical equation for photosynthesis
light energy What is 6CO2 + 6H2O________> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
______________happens mostly during the day, while ________________ happens at consistent rate day and night.
What is photosynthesis and cellular respiration
( in that order)
Mitochondria,chloroplast are two of these "tiny organs" found in plant cells.
What are organelles?
