photosynthesis
Term | Definition |
---|---|
photosynthesis | process by which plants use sunlight water and carbon dioxide to create a oxygen and glucose (sugar) and water vapor |
carbon dioxde | gas is used by plants during photosynthesis |
leaf | in which part of the plant where most of the photosynthesis process takes place |
oxygen | which gas is released by plants during photosynthsis |
chlorophyll | the chemical pigment found in the chloroplast that makes the leaves of plants green in color |
transpirtion | the moment of water vapor out of a plant and into the air |
sunlight | radiant energy that starts the process of photosynthesis turning radiant energy into chemical energy |
phototropism | the way a plant grows or moves in response of light [bends near light] |
gravitropism | the way a plant grows or moves in response to gravity [plants roots grow down stem grow up] |
hydrorpism | the way a pant grows or moves to the response of water[root moves near water] |
thigmotropism | the way a plant grows or moves in response of touch[growing vines] |
chemical energy in photosynthsis | Glucose |
Chloroplast | plant cell that uses light energy to make chemical energy |
Guard cell | Pairs of cells that surround stomata and control their opening and closing |
Respiration | the opposite of photosynthesis.. what animals do. is a series of chemical reactions that breakdown food molecules and releases energy and carbon dioxide |
formula for photosynthesis | 6CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE) + 6H20 (WATER) + LIGHT ENERGY => C6H1206 (GLUCOSE) + 602 (OXYGEN) + WATER VAPOR |
