Autotrophs
Photosynthesis and what takes place
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Autotrophs | Also called producers, they make their own food. Make organic food molueclues from inorganic raw materials |
Organic Molueclues | All organic molueclues contain car bon and hyfrogen * formula for glucose=C6H12O6 * methane natural gass=CH4 |
Inorganic Molueclues | dont contain Hydrogen or Carbon -water H2O -salt NaCl -carbon dixocide CO2 |
Autotrophs | -plants -alge -any photosythenic bacteria |
Heterotrophs | -get energy from eating other organisms -depend on autotrophs for energy -consumers |
Photosynthesis | occur in the cloroplast of the cells of the mesophyll of the leaves of the plant |
Stomato | allow for gas extange carbon dixocide in and oxegen out |
Roots | absorb water and minerals from the soil,anchor plant to the ground, store energy |
Stems | conduct fluids from te roots to the leaves and back,support the leaves |
Xylem | tissue that conducts water and minerals up to the leaves |
phloem | tissue that conducts sugars back to roots |
Flowers | the repoductive organs of thte plant |
Formula for photosynthesis | water+carbon dioxcide+(light)=glucose+oxegen H2O+CO2+(light)=+C6H206+O2 |
Photosynthetic Pigments | Choloraphyl-green because reflects green light (like in plants) Cratenoids-yellow orange pigments because they reflect yellow light |
