Some species of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ use a variety of chemical reactions to make glucose
Bacteria
What is Glucose?
A carbohydrate
A carbohydrate is used in a process. What is it known as?
Chemosynthesis
Is glucose a product?
Yes
Chemosythesis uses what as their source of energy?
Chemicals
Give one reactant?
Carbon Dioxide
The leaves of green plants absorb what from the light which originates from the sun?
Energy
What do plants need for photosynthesis from the air arounf them?
carbon dioxide
What are guard cells?
Guard cells arespecialised cells found in the leaves of green plants. They control the size of the stomata
What are xylem tissues adapted to?
Xylem tissues is adapted to transport water containing dissolved mierals around plants.
What are roots mostly needed for?
To absorb water from the soil
What are yellow leavers an indication for?
an indication of a lack of chlorophyll or magnesium
Where does photosynthesis mostly occur?
In the palisade cells
What will happen if the plant is losing water?
The stomata will close
What mineral does green plants need?
Mineral to male the pigment chlorophyll
What is normally found in the soil which is from plants?
Nitrate ions
Where is energy stored in a green plant?
Energy is stored in green plants as a chemical energy store
What do Fertiliseres do?
Fertilisers contain a range of minerals to help the plant grow strongly.
What is carbon dioxide needed for?
The gas carbon dioxide, found in the atmosphere, is needed by plants for photosynthesis.
What happens if the air around the plant is very dry?
If the air surrounding a plant’s leaves is very dry, the air bubble will move faster along the glass tube.
what do green plant absorb?
Green plants absorb energy from sunlight.
Where is most of the water vapour lost from?
the leaves.
Where do terrestrials get there nutrients from?
Land-living (terrestrial) plants get their nutrients from the soil in which their roots grow.
What is photosynthesis?
Plants transform energy from the Sun into stored energy in their leaves by a process called photosynthesis.
