what are the energy changes that take place during photosythesis?
|
light engery --> chemical energy
|
|
name the vessel that transports water and disolved mineral ions from the root to the leaf
|
xylem
|
|
name the vessel that transports sucrose from the leaf to the respiring root cells
|
phloem
|
|
in what form is glucose transported from the leaf to the root cells?
|
sucrose, becaue a starch molecule is too large
|
|
describe the relationship between photosythesis and respiration
|
photosythesis is the same equation as respiration/combustion. Photosythesis happens only when there is light, respiration happens all the time.
|
|
explain why root cells need a supply of glucose
|
because they don't contain any chlorphyll as they are underground and don't get light
