Atoms & Chemical Formulas
Chemical formula for Oxygen
What is O2?
Process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food & release oxygen as a byproduct
What is photosynthesis?
On either side of the stoma, and are responsible for opening and closing the stoma
What are guard cells?
A green pigment, present in all green plants, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
Roots have these two main jobs
What are anchoring the plant and absorption?
CO2
What is carbon dioxide?
The two reactants in photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide & water?
Transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves
What is xylem?
Membrane-bound organelle in plants that is the site of photosynthesis
What is chloroplast?
Released through stomata
What is oxygen?
A & B in a chemical equation? A ----> B
What is A is the reactant and B is the product?
The two products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen?
The tiny pores in the bottom of leaves that take in carbon dioxide from the air
What are stomata?
Energy that comes from vibrating particles and travels through space as electromagnetic waves
What is radiant energy?
Only time of day that photosynthesis can happen
What is the daytime?
Formula for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2?
Necessary for photosynthesis and is absorbed from the soil
What is water?
Cell walls in plants are made of...
What are starches?
A sugar compound composed of 6 carbon atoms that is a preferred energy source for most cells and produced by photosynthesis
What is glucose?
Xylem & phloem are this type of tissue
What is transport?
Chemical formula for Glucose
What is C6H12O6?
Necessary for photosynthesis to occur and is absorbed from the air
What is carbon dioxide?
Transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant
What is phloem?
Creates energy for growth, reproduction, & other life processes; unlocks the energy in glucose; happens day and night
What is respiration?
In photosynthesis, carbon is originally in the carbon dioxide molecule, then rearranged and used to construct...
What is glucose?
