2.5 Gaseous exchange in plants Flashcards
During the day , besides respiration , what do plants also carry out?
Photosynthesis
What is the process of photosynthesis
taking in carbon dioxide
giving out oxygen
During respiration
oxygen is taken in , carbon dioxide is removed
Most plants carry out the process of gaseous exchange with their surroundings through
leaves, stems and root
providing a large surface area for gaseous exchange
The diffusion of stoma occurs through?
Stoma (obviously.)
What is the process of diffusion
Movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration
What is stoma made up of?
Stomatal pore bounded by a pair of guard cells.
What do guard cell contain and what does it carry out?
Chloroplast
carry out photosynthesis
When does stomata of plant open?
During photosynthesis
where there is light
When does the stomata close?
- gets dark
- plant loses a lot of water when its a hot day ( malaysia core )
What is the process of osmosis
Movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a low concentration of water through a semipermeable membrane
When there is light , what do guard cells do ?
Guard cells carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose
The concentration of glucose in guard cells ( ____ ) and causes water from surrounding cells to diffus into the guard cell through ( ___ )
1.increase
2. osmosis
