Photosynthesis

Front 1

photosynthesis

Back 1

the process by which plants make their own food

Front 2

chlorophyll

Back 2

a green pigment that absorbs light energy

Front 3

cellular respiration

Back 3

the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food

Front 4

what does photosynthesis make?

Back 4

sugar glucose(c6h12o6)carbon dioxide(co2)and water(h2o)

Front 5

stoma

Back 5

one of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enables gas exchange to occur

Front 6

transpiration

Back 6

the process by ehich plants releace water vapor into the air through stomata

Front 7

chloroplast

Back 7

an organelle found in a plant, surrounded by two membranes,the membranes form stacks called grana

Front 8

what does chlorohyll absorb?

Back 8

chlorophyll absorbs wavelengths that are produced by the sun. It reflects more wavelengths of green light so most plants look green

Front 9

how many molecules of carbon dioxide and molecules of water are needed to form one moleucule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen??

Back 9

six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water

Front 10

true or false: water molecules store energy

Back 10

false:glcose molecules store energy

Front 11

true or false: the cells give off carbon dioxide and water

Back 11

true

Front 12

true of false: excess glucose is converted to another sugar called sucroose or stored as fat

Back 12

false:excess glucose is converted to another sugar called sucrose or stored as starch

Front 13

what happens when light is avalible for photosynthesis?

Back 13

the stomata are usually open. At nighttime, the stomata close to conserve water

Front 14

true or false: more water is lost through a plants leaves than is absorbed by the plant's roots?

Back 14

true

Front 15

most organisms cannot suvive without?
A: others
b: photosynthetic organisms
c: computers
d: all the above
