Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chlorophyll | green pigment found in chloroplasts absorbs sunlight |
| chloroplasts | organelle where photosynthesis happens |
| C6H12O6 | glucose(sugar)(food) product of photosynthesis |
| photosynthesis | process by which green plants use solar energy to make their own food |
| leaves | take in carbon dioxide though the stomata |
| roots | Take in water from the soil |
| Biochemical process | Chemical reaction that takes place in living things |
| CO2 | carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis to take place |
| O2 | Oxygen product of photosynthesis |
| H20 | water needed for photosynthesis to take place |
| products of photosynthesis | food (sugar or glucose) and oxygen |
| Word equation for photosynthesis | Carbon Dioxide + Water ( in the presence of sunlight and Chlorophyll) -------------> Glucose + Oxygen |
| Factors that affect photosynthesis | Light Chlorophyll Carbon Dioxide Water Temperature |
| Benefits of photosynthesis for plants and animals | Plants - food Animals - oxygen and food |
| Producer/Autotroph | An organism that produce its own food |
| Consumer/Heterotroph | An organism that cannot produce its own food |
| Starch | Excess glucose produced by photosynthesis is stored as starch |
| Iodine | Test for starch Reddish orange to blue black |
| Stomata | Tiny holes in the underside of leaves Lets Carbon Dioxide in and Oxygen out |
| Xylem | Tubes found in plants that transports water from the roots |
| Phloem | Tubes found in plants that transport food from the leaves |
