Photosynthesis
The fluid that turns sunlight into chemical energy to be used as fuel for photosynthesis.
What is Chlorophyll?
The two parts of the Epidermal Layer.
What are the Cuticle and the Epidermis?
The layer that keeps external water out of the leaf.
What is the Cuticle?
The reason that plant cells have large vacuoles.
What is storing water for photosynthesis?
A surface that allows some particles to pass through them as long as they are small enough.
What is a Semipermeable Membrane?
Both of the reactants in photosynthesis.
What are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)?
The mesophyll cells that are tightly-packed together.
What are the Palisade Mesophyll Cells?
The vein that transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
What is the Xylem?
The product of photosynthesis that plants DO use.
What is Glucose?
The random motion inside of our bodies that causes particles to bump into each other.
What is Brownian Motion?
The polymer that glucose is stored as once photosynthesis is completed.
What is Starch?
The holes on the surface of the leaf.
What are stomata?
The mesophyll cell that allows gas to move around it.
What is a Spongy Mesophyll Cell?
The reason that plasmolysis happens to plant cells.
What is too much water osmosing out of the plant cell?
The elements that are found in all biomolecules.
What are Carbon(C), Oxygen(O), and Hydrogen(H)?
The mineral that allows plants to make more chlorophyll.
What are Magnesium Ions?
The part of the vascular bundle that is made of living cells.
What is the Phloem?
The cells that open when a leaf has enough water to perform photosynthesis.
What are Guard Cells?
It increases when water enters the plant cell.
What is Turgor Pressure?
The part of the enzyme that substrates attach to.
What is the Active Site?
The molecular structure of glucose.
What is C6H12O6?
The part of the leaf that contains the most stomata (I'm looking for a specific SIDE of the leaf, as well as the organ)
What is the Lower Epidermis?
The layer that produces the majority of the leaf's glucose.
What is the Mesophyll Layer?
The material that cell walls are made out of.
What is cellulose?
It will flow into the cell.
