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
chloroplasts
View source
What pigment in chloroplasts absorbs light?
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 produced as a result of photosynthesis?
Glucose
and
oxygen
View source
What does the equation for photosynthesis look like using chemical 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
View source
What type of reaction is photosynthesis classified as?
Endothermic
reaction
View source
How is energy transferred from the environment to chloroplasts?
By
light
View source
How does carbon dioxide enter the leaves?
Through the
stomata
View source
What is the main product that plants want from photosynthesis?
Glucose
View source
How is water transported to the leaves?
Via the
xylem
View source
What do plants sometimes use oxygen for?
For
respiration
View source
What is one way glucose is used in plants?
For
cellular respiration
View source
How can glucose be thought of in terms of energy?
As a
battery
View source
What can glucose molecules combine to form?
Cellulose
and
starch
View source
What is cellulose used for in plants?
To strengthen
cell walls
View source
Why is starch a better form of glucose for storage?
It is more
compact
and
insoluble
View source
When do plants typically break down starch to glucose?
When
photosynthesis
isn't happening much
View source
How do plants make amino acids?
By combining
glucose
with
nitrate ions
View source
What can amino acids be combined to make?
Proteins
View source
What is another use of glucose in plants?
Making
oils
and fats
View source
Why is glucose essential for plants?
It affects their
growth rate
View source
What are the five main uses of glucose in plants?
Cellular respiration
Making cellulose
Making starch
Making amino acids
Making oils and fats
View source
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity, temperature,
CO<sub>2</sub>
concentration,
chlorophyll
amount
View source
What will be explored in the next video?
Factors affecting the
rate
of
photosynthesis
View source
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
To convert
light energy
into
glucose
