Movement of substances to and from the leaf Flashcards
When is carbon dioxide made (in photosynthesis)?
during cellular respiration
During the day, how does carbon dioxide leave the plant?
through the stomata
During the night, how does carbon dioxide leave the plant?
through diffusion
How does carbon dioxide enter the plant during the day?
from the atmosphere through the stomata. into the intercellular spaces. It also diffuses in through the epidermal layer.
Where does carbon dioxide move once its in the leaf?
through diffusion, it moves through intercellular spaces and into the cells across the cell wall.
Is movement of carbon dioxide into the leaf through the epidermis FAST OR SLOW?
slow
Is movement of carbon dioxide into the leaf through the stomata FAST OR SLOW?
fast
How does water move inside the leaf?
through diffusion
Which tissue carries the water inside the leaf?
xylem tissue
