mmf Q3 plants with seeds- leaves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the 3 functions of leaves? | photosynthesis( food making), transpiration(water loss), and respiration( getting carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen) |
| what are the 2 types of leaves? | simple and compound |
| simple | one big blade ex. oak, maple |
| compound | blades that are separated into separate leaflike parts ex. clovers, palms |
| where and how does transpiration happen? | it happens through the stoma when the guard cells swell and open then water leaves the leaf |
| what are the uses of a leaf? | drugs, dyes, medicine, food, deadly poisons, digitalis |
| why are there hairs on leaves? | to protect the leaf from small insects and other things, and to control temperature |
| what is the formula for photosynthesis in words? | 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water (with sunlight and chlorophyll) makes sugar glucose and 6 oxygen |
| whats the formula for photosynthesis? | 6CO^2+ 6H^2O w/ sunlight&chlorophyll= C^6H^12O^6+ 6O^2 |
| cuticle | prevents water loss |
| epidermis | helps protect leaf |
| palisade mesophyll | where most of photosynthesis takes place, where chlorophyll takes place |
| spongey mesophyll | absorbs air to find carbon dioxide |
| stoma | allows certain elements to go through, in or out, of leaf |
| guard cells | opens and closes stoma when needed |
| xylem | carries water up from roots to leaf for photosynthesis |
| phloem | carries food from leaf to plant |
