what is the process of transpiration?
Transpiration is when water moves from the roots, through the stem, and evaporates from the leaves as vapor through small holes called stomata
How are photosynthesis and transpiration similar?
Both processes happen in the leaves and involve the stomata. Photosynthesis makes food using sunlight, while transpiration moves water and nutrients
how much moisture would you expect to see in a bag that was on the ground or on a plant during a drought?
During a drought, there would be little to no moisture because the stomata would realize that they are not getting any water due to drought and then close up.
where do the processes of photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration occur?
Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast of the leaves, and aerobic cellular respiration happens in eukaryotic cells
How do plant cells without chlorophyll get food
The plants vascular system uses phloem tubes to carry sugar from the leaves to all the other cells of the plant. Or they would use aerobic cellular respiration and turn glucose into energy
Give examples of plant organisms
Examples include: leaves, flower petals, bsuhes, and ect
What happens to glucose before it can be used by the cell?
Plant cells use oxygen to transform the energy in sugars into a usable form of energy.
Argue why the celery vile had less water (be ready to explain your answers)
- Transpiration caused the water level to drop because water moved up into the celery and evaporated through the leaves
- Evaporation also reduced the water level as water vapor escaped from the glass into the air.
what are the chemical equations for photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration
photosynthesis- 6CO2+6H20+ light energy–> C6H12O6+ 6O2
Aerobic cellular respiration: C6H12O6+6O2—> 6CO2+6H2O+energy
