Most Of Photosynthesis Occurs In Leaves

Question 1

Epidermis

Answer 1

Prevents H20 loss, injury, and fungi, sometimes has a cuticle

Question 2

Cuticle

Answer 2

Additional protection from water loss and infection

Question 3

Stomates

Answer 3

Exchange between external and internal environment, surrounded by two guard cells

Question 4

Gas diffusion

Answer 4

CO2, O2, H20 vapor

Question 5

Guard Cells

Answer 5

Contains chloroplast and 1 large vacuole each

Question 6

Turgor

Answer 6

Water pressure, allows guard cells to control the opening and closing of the stomate

Question 7

Below the Epidermis

Answer 7

Palisade layer

Question 8

Palisade layer

Answer 8

Tightly packed tall cells filled with chloroplast, this is the layer where the majority of photosynthesis takes place

Question 9

Between the lower epidermis and palisade layer

Answer 9

Spongy layer, air spaces lined loosely arranged cells. The spaces are continuous with the stomates, perform little photosynthesis

Question 10

Conducting Tissues

Answer 10

Vein bundles include xylem and phloem

Question 11

Xylem

Answer 11

H2O + dissolved minerals

Question 13

Nutrient types

Answer 13

Autotrophic and heterotrophic

Question 14

Chloroplast (organelles)

Answer 14

Contain a pigment that acts as an enzyme, contain accessory pigments like carotene which traps green wave lengths

Question 15

Chlorophyll (the green pigment)

Answer 15

Can not help the green wave length that’s why most plants are green

Question 16

Starch

Answer 16

Storage of glucose
