|---|---|
| What is photosynthesis? | When light energy powers this process in which carbon dioxide and water and combined to make glucose. |
| What are the levels of organization in organisms? | Cells, tissues, organs, systems |
| What does xylem and phloem do in a plant? | Transport fluids throughout the plant. |
| How does carbon dioxide enter a leaf? | Leaves contain air spaces that are connected to the external environment by stomata. |
| What are lenticels? | Openins in the bark of woody plants allowing gas exchange between the environment and the living cells below the bark. |
| Is Lindsay very distracted and thought provoked at this moment? | YESSS!!! |
| What is the evaporation of water from leaves called? | Transpiration. |
| How does transpiration work? | Palisade and spongy tissue cells are coated with a thin layer of water. The water evaporates, saturating the air spaces within the leaf with water vapour. As air diffuses out of the stomata, some of that water is lost. |
| What controls the amount of gas exchange and transpiration in a plant? | The size of the stomata. |
| What allows water to move in and out of the guard cells? | osmosis. |
| What is turgor pressure? | Water pressure within plant cells that allows them to stay upright. |
| What does the stomata allow to diffuse through the leaf? | Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour. |
| When do plants consume and produce carbon dioxide? | Plant cells produce carbon dioxide during cellular respiration and consume carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. |
