Q
Requirements
A
-Light(Absorbed by chlorophyll)
-Chlorophyll
-CO2(Raw material)
-Water(Raw material
-Mineral Ions(Absorbed by active transport by roots):
.Nitrate(Deficiency = poor growth): To make with glucose amino acids —> Proteins
.Magnesium(Deficiency = yellow leaves): To make chlorophyll
.Phosphate: DNA and Respiration

Q
Products
A
Glucose:
-Glucose for respiration, energy.
-Starch, energy storage
-Cellulose, cell wall.
-Surcose, transportation through pholem vessels
-Glucose + Nitrogen = Amino Acids –> Proteins
-Oils: Energy storage in seeds
Oxygen(By-product, not intended and most is diffused out of the plant as more than needed is produced, only used for cell respiration)
