Vocabulary
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide.
What is "photosynthesis"?
When radiant energy is absorbed, the leaves make food from carbon dioxide and __________.
What is "water"?
Explain how energy is cycled between plants and animals.
What is "oxygen, energy, food"?
Is photosynthesis a chemical or physical reaction?
What is "chemical"? Carbon dioxide and water change into glucose and oxygen.
What is a reactant?
What is "a substance that starts a chemical reaction"?
The chemical that absorbs and stores energy from the sunlight.
Photosynthesis takes place in this part of the plant.
What is "green leaf"?
Organisms such as bacteria and algae, contain chloroplasts. Can these organisms perform photosynthesis?
What is "yes". Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts; since these organisms contain chloroplasts, they can perform photosynthesis in the right environment.
How do plants make sense of the world around them?
What is "stem"?
What is the purpose of the phloem?
What is "it carries the glucose to the plant for its life processes"?
A compound made from carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
What is "glucose"?
What is the fourth step in the photosynthesis process?
What will happen to a plant placed in an airtight container that is directly placed in sunlight?
What is "die / will not survive" because of the lack of carbon dioxide?
What is another example of radiant energy?
What is "light bulb"?
What are the three elements necessary to carry out photosynthesis?
What is "carbon, hydrogen and oxygen"?
The tiny pores in the bottom of the leaves that take in the carbon dioxide.
What is "stomata"?
During photosynthesis, radiant or light energy is turned into ____________.
What is "glucose"?
Explain why scientists know the oxygen level in the atmosphere because of plants.
What is "oxygen is released by plants"?
Are atoms lost or gained during photosynthesis?
What is "gained"?
What is a product?
What is "xylem"?
When humans eat food, our bodies get ______ from the glucose store in food.
What is "energy"?
Using the words "stomata, xylem, and chemical reaction", explain the process of photosynthesis.
What is "photosynthesis is a chemical reaction... xylem carries water to parts of the plant, stomata absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen..."
How many molecules of glucose would be produced from 18 molecules of carbon dioxide and 18 molecules of water?
What is "3 glucose molecules"
Why do animals benefit from photosynthesis?
What is "they receive energy and oxygen"?
