WHERE ?
Where is the chlorophyll located (specific organelle)?
In the chloroplast
How do all parts of the plants get the water needed?
Via xylem tubes or vessels.
What is the name of the reagent used to test for starch?
Iodine.
In which part of the plant does the making of food take place?
In the leaves.
How do plants release oxygen during photosynthesis?
Through stomatal pores or openings.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O (sunlight)-------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Where does plants get their carbon dioxide from?
In the atmosphere.
How is glucose carried throughout plant bodies?
Via phloem tubes or vessels.
What is the collective name for the tubes in plants that carry food and water?
Vascular bundles.
Where do plants get their water from?
The soil.
How are plants tested for the presence of starch?
Boiling in water then wash with alcohol, then add a reagent called iodine.
What are the 2 stages involved in the process of photosynthesis?
The light dependent and light independent stages.
In which part of the leaf are chloroplasts located?
In the palisade layer.
How is sunlight obtained by plants?
Sunlight is trapped by the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
What happens in the light dependent and light independent stages of photosynthesis?
Light dependent - light energy is needed to split H2O molecules into H2 and O. Oxygen gas is given off. ATP & NADPH energies are produced here.
Light independent - no light necessary. ATP & NADPH used to combine H2 with CO2 to make glucose (C6H12O6).
