|
Photosynthesis |
The process of making food or glucose from sunlight energy in plants |
|
|
Stomata |
Tiny opening in leaf that 2 guard cells open and close |
|
|
Carbohydrate |
Made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen also called sugar or glucose |
|
|
How are carbohydrates stored in plants |
Starch |
|
|
Cellular respiration |
The process of making ATP from glucose and oxygen and releasing water and carbon dioxide |
|
|
What raw materials do plants need for photosynthesis |
Carbon dioxide and water |
|
|
Why do plants have leaves |
To go through photosynthesis and make food by absorbing Sun energy |
|
|
How does the color of the leaf relate to its function |
Plant cells have chloroplast which contain green chlorophyll and photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast |
|
|
Why are the roots not Green like the stems and leaves |
The roots are underground and not exposed to the sunlight so they are not responsible for photosynthesis but they are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients |
|
|
How are the guard cells related to the stomata |
Guard cells open and close the stomata |
|
|
When do the guard cells open |
Lots of water makes the guard cells swell and open |
|
|
When does the stomata close |
When there is little water |
|
|
What happens when light strikes a green leaf |
The plant makes glucose |
|
|
What do the mitochondria in cells do |
They are the battery of the cell, supply the energy for the cell and where respiration occurs |
|
|
What is the leaf cuticle |
waxy outer layer, makes leaves water proof and on top and bottom of the leaf |
|
|
what is the leaf epidermis |
on the top and bottom of leaf, outer layer, protects the leaf |
|
|
what is the leaf palisade layer |
where the chloroplast is--- where photosynthesis happens |
|
|
what is the spongy layer in the leaf |
absorbs Carbon dioxide and oxygen, water is stored in spaces |
|
|
What is the xylem in the leaves |
bring water from roots to leaves |
|
|
what is the phloem in leaves |
bring glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant |
|
|
what is the job of the guard called in leaves |
open stomata to let in and out water, oxygen and carbon dioxide |
|
|
photosynthesis makes |
glucose and oxygen |
|
|
what goes in to cellular respiration |
glucose and oxygen |
|
|
what comes out of cellular respiration |
carbon dioxide, water and ATP |
|
|
cellulose |
sugar in the cell walls |
|
|
frutose |
sugar found in fruit |
|
|
herbivores |
eat plants |
|
|
carnivores |
eat meat |
|
|
omnivore |
eats both plants and animals |
|
|
where does cellular respiration occur |
mitochondria |
|
|
how do animals benefit from plants sugar storage |
animals get energy by eating carbohydrates |
|
|
which structure allows plants to make food |
chloroplasts |
|
|
what are the 2 major processes in plants |
cellular respiration and photosynthesis |
|
|
what is the major process in animals |
cellular respiration |
|
|
can an insect live in a closed jar? |
no, because there is not air in the jar, so there is no way for the insect to go through cellular respiration |
|
|
can an insect live in a sealed jar with a plant |
yes, because the plant will provide the oxygen and the insect will provide the carbon dioxide so photosynthesis and cellular respiration can both occur. |
