Photosynthesis 8 Flashcards
1
Q
meaning photosynthesis
A
the process in which a plant uses energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose (energy)
2
Q
show the photosynthesis diagram
A
Chlorophyll
Energy (ATP) + CO2 + H2O ===> Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2
Sunlight
3
Q
what are the requirements for photosynthesis
A
- sunlight = source of energy
- CO2 = found in atmosphere + by-product of cellular respiration
(enters the plant though the
-stomata (pl)
-stomia (singular) - water = water from roots
- chlorophyll = pigment in a plant that absorbs sunlight
(found in chloroplasts)
4
Q
what are the products of photosynthesis
A
- oxygen (O2) = leaves the cells through the stomata
- glucose = food for the plant
types:
1 - starch = storage form of glucose in plants
2 - sucrose = transport form of glucose
3 - cellulose = structure and support of cells
