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 |
