Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chloroplasts | organelle that performs photosynthesis in the leaves of plants |
| Leaf | organ of the plant that performs photosynthesis |
| Shoot System | plant system that includes the stem, leaves, flowers, and fruit |
| Root | plant organ that takes in water and minerals from the soil |
| Stem | plant organ that supports the plant and contains vessels for water and sugar transportation |
| Transpiration | evaporation of water out of the pores in the leaves of a plant |
| Photosynthesis | process that plants use to make glucose using energy from the sun |
| Products of Photosynthesis | oxygen and glucose |
| Reactants of Photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
| How plants take in carbon dioxide | through the leaf pores |
| How plants take in water | through the roots |
| What plants do with the glucose made from photosynthesis | cellular respiration |
| The type of energy the light energy gets converted into during photosynthesis | chemical energy |
| The law of conservation of energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes forms |
| Cell Wall | outer boundary in plant cells; provides rigid structure |
| Cell Membrane | Controls what enters and leaves a cell. ALL cells contain this structure, not just plant cells. |
| Large Central Vacuole | organelle that stores water for the plant |
| Equation for Photosynthesis | CO2 + H20 --> C6H12O6 + O2 |
