PhotoSynthesis

Question 1

What is the formula for Glucose

Answer 1

C6 H12 06

Question 2

Are plants autotrophs?

Answer 2

Yes

Question 3

How do plants get their food

Answer 3

Through the process of photosynthesis

Question 4

What do plants use as their food

Answer 4

Glucose

Question 5

Do plants make their own food or do they get it from something

Answer 5

Plants make their own food

Question 6

What is the equation of photosynthesis in non formula terms

Answer 6

Water + Carbon Dioxide –> Sunlight and Chlorophyll –> Glucose + Oxygen

Question 7

What is the equation of photosynthesis in formula terms

Answer 7

6C02 + 6H20 –> Chlorophyll and sunlight –> C6 H12 06 + 602

Question 8

What type of reaction is photosynthesis

Answer 8

An endothermic reaction

Question 9

What is an endothermic reaction

Answer 9

An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction that uses light and heat energy to make a product instead of producing heat.

Question 10

What color is chlorophyll

Answer 10

It is the color green

Question 11

What does chlorophyll do for the plant?

Answer 11

Chlorophyll takes in the sun’s energy and converts it into chemical energy to be able to complete the process of photosynthesis

Question 12

What type of place is best for photosynthesis

Answer 12

A sunny and airy place with nutritious soil and a good amount of water.

Question 13

Does photosynthesis really need chlorophyll

Answer 13

Yes, Chlorophyll is an important part of photosynthesis and it can’t be done without chlorophyll

Question 14

Where does photosynthesis take place in?

Answer 14

It takes place in chloroplasts, in the palisade cells which are in the leaf.

Question 15

Why does photosynthesis take place in chloroplasts?

Answer 15

The chlorophyll is found there and so the other ingredients needed are moved into the palisade cells so photosynthesis can take place.

Question 16

Where does sunlight enter through

Answer 16

It enters through the waxy cuticle and then the upper epidermis.

Question 17

What color is both the waxy cuticle and the upper epidermis.

Answer 17

They both have no color. They are both transparent to let light get through them.

Question 18

Where is the sunlight supposed to go to

Answer 18

The sunlight goes through the palisade cells and then to the chloroplasts.

Question 19

Where is water taken for the plant

Answer 19

Through its roots and goes through the veins to get to the palisade cells

Question 20

What are the openings on the bottom of the leaf called

Answer 20

Stomata

Question 21

What is the job of the stomata

Answer 21

It is to let gas pass through them to get into or out of the plant

Question 22

How does the job of the stomata work.

Answer 22

When the stomata opens diffusion happens so the areas of high concentration of gases go to low and low to high. This is good because when there is need for gas in the leaf gas goes in and vice versa.

Question 23

What happens after photosynthesis

Answer 23

The glucose is transported to the plant cells with a bit of oxygen and most of the oxygen is let our through the stomata.

Question 24

What color does chlorophyll reflect?

Answer 24

The color green

Question 25

Are there other pigments that are just like chlorophyll but in different colors

Answer 25

Yes

Question 26

What cells trap light

Answer 26

The palisade mesophyll

Question 27

What are the palisade mesophyll packed full with

Answer 27

Chlorophyll which are inside the chloroplasts

Question 28

Why is the top of the leaf darker than the bottom?

Answer 28

To absorb more sunlight to use

Question 29

What controls the stomata?

Answer 29

The guard cells.

Question 30

How does the carbon dioxide get to the palisade mesophyll

Answer 30

It comes up through the stomata and then it passes the spongy mesophyll to get to the palisade mesophyll.
