100

This substance is created through photosynthesis and is used as energy by plants and other organisms.

glucose

100

This raw material is absorbed in the roots of the plant and transported through the xylem.

water.

100

This product of photosynthesis is used by the plant for respiration.

glucose.

100

These are what the ions are called that are absorbed from the soil in small quantities for the plant.

minerals

100

This part of the plant is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis for the plant.

leaf.

200

Photosynthesis requires light and this other substance in order for the process to occur.

chlorophyll

200

This raw material is diffused into the leaf for photosynthesis.

carbon dioxide.

200

This type of sugar is how the plant stores energy in the leaves and roots.

starch

200

This mineral is used make amino acids.

nitrate (nitrogen).

200

This layer of the plant is where most of the photosynthesis of the plant occurs.

palisade mesophyll layer.

300

These are the 2 gases that are involved in photosynthesis

carbon dioxide and oxygen

300

This substance is not a raw material but is what absorbs the light and is a green pigment.

chlorophyll.

300

This product created in photosynthesis and diffused out of the leaves into the atmosphere.

oxygen

300

How minerals are absorbed to the  plants

through roots 

300

This structure of the leaf is a waxy coating that prevents water loss in the plant.

Wcuticle

400

This substance is used to absorb light for photosynthesis.

chlorophyll

400

This is the source of energy for the process of photosynthesis.

 sunlight.

400

This form of sugar is converted from glucose and is used for transporting sugar through the phloem.

sucrose.

400

This mineral is used by plants to make chlorophyll.

magnesium.

400

These structures surround the stomata and regulates the opening and closing of the stomata.

guard cells.

500

These are the raw materials that are reacted together to create the products.

 carbon dioxide and water.

500

In order to investigate the process of photosynthesis in plants, this is done to a plant to REMOVE starch.

de-starching the plant or putting plant in a dark place 

500

DJ - This type of sugar is used to create part of the plant cell's cell wall.

cellulose.

500

Without this mineral, the plant will turn yellow.

 magnesium.

500

This layer of the leaf contains the stomata for the plant.

lower epidermis.
