What is transpiration? |
The process of a plant absorbing water and eventually evaporate into the atmosphere |
|
Equation of photosynthesis |
Carbon dioxide + water = Glucose and oxygen 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 6O2 |
|
How does water travel up a plant |
Hydrogen bond between water molecules creates cohesive forces |
|
Why does leaf colour differ in different seasons |
Leaf will change the pigment of itself to maximise the sunlight it absorbs as the light a spectrum shifts during different seasons. |
|
How does temperature affect transpiration of a plant |
The hotter the temperature gets the faster transpiration because water will evaporate at much faster rate therefore need more water to alive |
|
How does light affect the transpiration of a plant |
The more light there is the faster the reaction until plant reaches it's maximum capacity for light |
|
Label the plant |
|
|
What does xylem and phloem do |
Xylem: transport water up a plant Phloem: transport glucose up a plant |
