Q

What was the result the nail varnish practical?

A

There were many more stomata present on the under side of the leaf

17
Q

How do leaves adapt for quicker CO2 diffusion

A

-have lots of stomata
-the leaves are thin for a shirt diffusion pathway
- the leaves have a large surface area to allow for quicker diffusion

18
Q

What happens when plants leave to much water?

A

Wilts

19
Q

What do guards cells do?

A

Open and close to control the water Vapor

20
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Where chemical reactions occur

21
Q

Nucleus

A

Contains the DNA that controls the cell

22
Q

Cell wall

A

Contains cellulose for strength and support

23
Q

Vacuole

A

Contains cell sap for support

24
Q

Cell membrane

A

Controls what’s going in and out of the cell

25
Q

Chloroplast

A

Contains chlorophyll to trap the light
Is the site of photosynthesis

26
Q

What experiment can we do to show a leave is photosynthesising?

A

-boil the leaf to remove the waxy layer by killing cells
-place leaf in ethanol to extract chlorophyll
-rinse the leaf to remove ethanol
-test for starch using iodine solution
