Photosynthesis
Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
Which organelle carries out cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
Which plant structure transports water from roots to leaves?
Xylem
How do plants respond to environmental stimuli like light?
Tropisms (Phototropism)
What is the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy)
Which structure transports sugars throughout the plant?
Phloem
Roots grow downward into the soil due to gravity. What type of tropism is this?
Gravitropism (geotropism)
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
Products of one are reactants of the other
What form of energy is released during cellular respiration?
Chemical energy → ATP (usable energy)
What role do stomata play in plant systems?
Regulate gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out, water vapor)
Vines wrap around a support structure as they grow. What type of tropism is this?
Thigmotropism
Which structure produces pollen in a flower?
Anther
