Question | Answer |
Spongy layer | The layer of cells that stores carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis |
Chlorophyll | The green pigment found in chloroplasts |
Stomata | Small openings in the epidermis that allow gases to enter and leave |
Glucose | The type of food made by the process of photosynthesis |
Chloroplasts | Green organelles that convert sunlight energy into glucose |
Cuticle | The waxy coating on the epidermis; helps keep the leaf from drying out |
Photosynthesis | The process that uses carbon dioxide, water & sunlight energy to make food |
Palisade layer | The layer of cells just below the epidermis where photosynthesis takes place |
Epidermis | The transparent outer layer of leaf cells; allows sunlight to pass through |
Pigment | A substance that reflects a specific part of the visible spectrum and absorbs the rest |
Guard cells | Cells that regulate the opening of the stomata |
Respiration | The process where food is broken down by the mitochondria to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water vapor |
Mitochondria | The cell organelle where respiration takes place |
Producers | Green plants that are capable of making their own food |
Reactants | The raw materials needed for a chemical reaction; on the left side of the chemical equation |
Light-dependent reaction | The reaction of photosynthesis that requires direct light energy to work |
Light-independent reaction | The reaction of photosynthesis that does not require direct light |
Glucose | The sugar made by photosynthesis; C6H12O6 |
Products | The new materials made during a chemical reaction; found on the right side of the chemical equation |
Anaerobic reaction | A chemical reaction that does not use oxygen |
Aerobic reaction | A chemical reaction that does use oxygen |
Chemical equation for photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight yields C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
Chemical equation for respiration | C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP |
