where does photosynthesis take place
in the leaf
more specifically the plant cell chloroplast
how do plants store glucose
in starch
what is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O => 6O2 + C6H12O6
what are the two stages of reactions that occurs in photosynthesis
the light independent
the light dependant
what is the function of photosynthesis
to accumulate the necessary nutrients (glucose) for a plant
what is the process of photosynthesis
the roots pbsorbe water and send it to the plant leaves
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is obsorbed through pours called stomata
both these and sunlight from outside the plant are observed by the chlorophyll and transformed into glucose and oxygen.
the oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere through the stomata
what type of cells contain chloroplast
plant cells
what are the raw materials in photosynthesis
carbon dioxide
water / nutrients
sunlight
what simple sugar is produced in photosynthesis
glucose
what gas’s is used and what gas is released
carbon dioxide is used
and oxygen is produced
where is the photosynthetic cell in plants ground
in the plant leaves
how many chloroplasts can b found in a cell
thousands
how many membranes surround a chloroplast
a double (2) membrane
what is the outer and inner membranes called
the thylakoids
the sacs formed by the inner membrane is called the
thylakoids
what pigments are found in the thylakoids
chlorophyll
what are stacks of thylakoids called
granum
how are granum connected
by lamellae
