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 |
