17
Q

Where is energy stored in a green plant?

A

Energy is stored in green plants as a chemical energy store

18
Q

What do Fertiliseres do?

A

Fertilisers contain a range of minerals to help the plant grow strongly.

18
Q

What is carbon dioxide needed for?

A

The gas carbon dioxide, found in the atmosphere, is needed by plants for photosynthesis.

19
Q

What happens if the air around the plant is very dry?

A

If the air surrounding a plant’s leaves is very dry, the air bubble will move faster along the glass tube.

20
Q

what do green plant absorb?

A

Green plants absorb energy from sunlight.

20
Q

Where is most of the water vapour lost from?

A

the leaves.

21
Q

Where do terrestrials get there nutrients from?

A

Land-living (terrestrial) plants get their nutrients from the soil in which their roots grow.

21
Q

What is photosynthesis?

A

Plants transform energy from the Sun into stored energy in their leaves by a process called photosynthesis.

22
What is the gas oxygen?
The gas oxygen is the waste product of photosynthesis.
23
The gas exchange area of leaves is greatly increased by the presence of internal air spaces. True or false?
False
24
When is most oxygen let out?
Green plants photosynthesise during the hours of daylight. Most oxygen is released at midday when photosynthesis occurs at its maximum rate.
25
What is an essential requirement for photosynthesis?
Water is an essential requirement for photosynthesis. It is absorbed from the soil by osmosis.
26
Where is sugar produced on the Green Plants?
In green plants, sugars are produced in the leaves by photosynthesis.
26
What are roots covered in?
Roots are covered in hundreds of microscopic projections called root hairs. These give the roots a greater surface area for absorption.
27
Where does gas exchange occur?
Gas exchange occurs through the stomata, which are tiny pores on the underside of a leaf.
28
What is an epidermal tissue?
Epidermal tissue is found covering the organs of plants. It has a protective role.
29
What does photosynthesis produce?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen gas. This is removed from a plant's leaves during the day.
30
What are plant organs specialised to do?
Leaves are plant organs specialised to absorb light for photosynthesis.
30
What is Carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is removed from the air by green plants during photosynthesis.
31
What is a stem?
The stem is a plant organ specialised to transport substances up and down a plant from the root to the leaves and leaves to roots.
32
What can Stomatas do?
Stomata can open and close. The size of the pore is controlled by a pair of guard cells.
33
What are Stomata?
Stomata are tiny pores on the surface of leaves. They allow the gas carbon dioxide, present in the atmosphere, to diffuse into the leaf.
34
Where is the palisade mesophyll just above?
Epidermis
35
What are roots covered in?
Root hair cells
36
What do veins present in plants?
The veins present in plants are composed of xylem and phloem tissues.
37
What happenes if a plant is stunned?
If the growth of a plant is stunted, it is deficient in nitrate ions.
