Plants and photosynthesis

• Xylem transport water  a vascular tissue that transports water throughout a plant's body
• Phloem - the vascular plant tissue responsible for the transport and distribution of sugars produced by the photosynthesis.
• Root hair cell adaptation having a large surface area to increase the rate of ab
• Stomata - the tiny openings present on the epidermis of leaves
• Palisade cell adaptation -Palisade cells mainly focused on the photosynthesis process
• Transpiration - manage the transportation of sugars, nutrients and water around the plant
• Translocation -genetic change in which a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. 
• Word equation for photosynthesis-

  Energy change - Light energy → Chemical energy

  Word equation carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
• Balanced equation photosynthesis 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2
• Guard cell function - help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata
• Active transport

  
• osmosis - the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane
• Diffusion-  the net movement of anything (for example, atoms, ions, molecules, energy) generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
• Example of active transport in root hair cell - Diffusion is the net movement of anything (for example, atoms, ions, molecules, energy) generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
• 3 limiting factors for photosynthesis - For plants to take up mineral ions, ions are moved into root hairs, where they are in a higher concentration than in the dilute solutions in the soil
