What process must a plant carry out to grow and survive?
Photosynthesis
View source
Where does
photosynthesis
take place in a plant?
In the leaves, specifically in the
chloroplasts
View source
What pigment in chloroplasts absorbs light for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
View source
What does
chlorophyll
absorb from the environment?
Light energy
View source
What are the reactants in the
photosynthesis
equation?
Carbon dioxide
and
water
View source
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis using symbols?
6
CO<sub>2</sub>
+ 6
H<sub>2</sub>O
→
C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>
+ 6 O<sub>2</sub>
View source
Why is light written above the reaction line in the
photosynthesis
equation?
Because the reaction requires
light energy
to take place
View source
What type of reaction is
photosynthesis
classified as?
An
endothermic
reaction
View source
How does
energy
transfer occur in
photosynthesis
?
Energy is transferred from the environment to
chloroplasts
by light
View source
How does
carbon dioxide
enter the leaves of a plant?
Through the
stomata
View source
How is water transported to the leaves of a plant?
By the
xylem
View source
What is the primary product that plants want from
photosynthesis
?
Glucose
View source
What do plants sometimes use the oxygen produced in
photosynthesis
for?
For
respiration
View source
Why is
glucose
considered essential for plants?
It is used for energy and various
biosynthetic
processes
View source
What are the five main uses of glucose in plants?
Cellular respiration
for energy
Synthesis of
cellulose
for cell walls
Formation of
starch
for long-term storage
Production of
amino acids
with
nitrate ions
Synthesis of
oils and fats
for energy storage
View source
How does
glucose
function like a battery for plants?
It stores
energy
that can be released when needed
View source
What is
cellulose
made from?
Many
glucose
molecules combined together
View source
Why is
starch
a better form of
glucose
for long-term storage?
It is more
compact
and
insoluble
View source
When do plants typically break down stored
starch
to
glucose
?
When
photosynthesis
isn't happening much, like at night or in winter
View source
How do plants make
amino acids
?
By combining
glucose
molecules with
nitrate ions
View source
What is the final use of
glucose
mentioned in the material?
Making
oils and fats
for energy storage
View source
What factors affect the rate of
photosynthesis
?
Light intensity
Temperature
Carbon dioxide
concentration
Amount of
chlorophyll
