General
This is the first step of photosynthesis.
Light energy is captured.
This structure is responsible for transporting water throughout a plant.
What is the xylem?
This is the original source of energy for most ecospheres and plants.
What is solar energy?
Correct this photosynthesis equation:
3CO + 2H2O2 ---> 6CH2O + 6O3
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is responsible for absorbing light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
This is an opening where gases are let in and out.
This organism is responsible for breaking down waste.
What is bacteria or decomposers?
This is the name of the energy stored in the bonds of glucose, created during photosynthesis.
What is chemical energy?
This is the second step of photosynthesis.
Making glucose.
This is where plants store excess glucose.
What are roots?
This organism can capture light energy and produce its own food.
What are producers?
Plant organisms take in this gas to convert it into glucose.
What is carbon dioxide?
In which part of the plant cell does photosynthesis occur?
What is the chloroplast?
Where does the mass of a tree come from?
Trees get their mass from the carbon from the CO2 in the atmosphere (the air).
Producers provide energy and nutrients for this type of organism.
What are consumers?
Plant organisms release this gas as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen gas?
This type of tree loses its leaves when temperatures and amount of solar radiation decreases.
What are deciduous trees?
This is the layer of the leaf that contains the most chloroplast.
What is the palisade layer or topside of the leaf?
What role do plants play in keeping an ecosystem balanced?
They decrease and maintain CO2 levels in the atmosphere or provide food and oxygen for consumers.
Photosynthesis is what type of chemical reaction?
What is an endothermic reaction?
