Photosynthesis 1
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
Inputs of photosynthesis
Water, CO2, Sunlight
Outputs of photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
Gas exchange happens here
Stomata
Roots absorb water by this process
Osmosis
Where does photosynthesis take place inside the leaves?
What is chloroplast?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and ______ to produce oxygen and sugar.
water
What is the chemical formula for Carbon Dioxide?
What is CO2?
Starch
Glucose is assembled into this complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plant cells.
Cellulose
This reactant of photosynthesis enters the plant from the air through pores in the leaves.
Carbon Dioxide
The three atoms that make up carbohydrates.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Photosynthesis creates these components.
What are oxygen and glucose?
Monosaccharides or glucose
6CO2+6H2O+sunlight—>C6H12O6+O2
Chemical Equation for Photosynthesis
Complex sugars
DJ Polysaccharides or starch and cellulose
The cell parts known as food factories. (Think about what a plant uses for food and where it is created)
DJ What are chloroplasts?
A solution that has a low concentration
Hypotonic
What is another word for a simple sugar?
monosaccharide
