What is the name of the structure that is found at the top of the leaf and prevents excess water loss due to transpiration and protects the leaf.
Waxy Cuticle
Name the gas that is a byproduct of photosynthesis
oxygen
What are the names of the structure found in the vascular bundle?
Xylem and Pholem
What are the pores at the bottom of the leaves called?(must be plural form of the word)
Stomata
name the gas that plants take in from the atmosphere and use to do photosynthesis
carbon dioxide
what do the guard cells do?
open and close stoma
DAILY DOUBLE
The leaf has a lower and an upper layer of this?
Epidermis
what is the primary product of photosynthesis?
Glucose
what is the function of the waxy cuticle?
covers the leaf to reduce water loss
These cells surround the stoma and control how much it is open or closed.
Guard Cells
DAILY DOUBLE
What energy is required to do photosynthesis?
light or sunlight
what pigment do chloroplasts contain that makes them green?
chlorophyll
What two structures do in the internal structure of the leaf aid in photosynthesis?
palisade cells and spongy layer
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water --(sunlight)--> glucose + oxygen
Which cell type or layer contain the most chloroplasts in the leaf?
Palisade layer or Palisade Cells
What is the one reactant that photosynthesis needs that the roots provide AND how does it get to the leaf?
Water and Vascular tissue transports it. (could also say the xylem carry it)
