photosynthesis and plant growth Flashcards
- what is photosynthesis ?
The process plants use to make their own food (glucose) . using the energy from sunlight .
- what kind of chemical reaction is photosynthesis ?
photosynthesis is an endothermic .
- what is the main product produced during photosynthesis?
Glucose
- what is glucose stored as ?
Glucose is stored as starch
- what reagent is tested for starch ?
Iodine solution is a test for starch
why are there not many plants in sandy deserts ?
This is because there is no water .
what are the raw materials for photosynthesis ?
The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water
what are the product for photosynthesis ?
The products are glucose and oxygen
what makes chloroplast green ?
Chlorophyll
all organism carry out seven life process ,
M = Movement R = Respiration S = Sensitivity G = growth R = Reproduction E = Excretion N = Nutrition
write the word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water –> glucose + oxygen
what gas from the air need to enter leaves through a stomata , for photosynthesis ?
Carbon Dioxide
what cells Bring the liquid raw material for photosynthesis into a leaf ?
xylem cells
How oxygen gets out of a leaf ?
Through stomata
why is light not a raw material for photosynthesis ?
This is because it is not a chemical substance
what are the four elements that a plant needs grow and develop ? what are the functions ? what happens if they didn’t get the elements ?
- Nitrogen . Function :To make Protein . effect : stunned growth
- Magnesium . Function : To make chlorophyll . Effect : without chlorophyll plant can’t photosynthesis.
- potassium . Function : absorbs water for photosynthesis . effect : the plants will become brown without water
- phosphorus . Function : for respiration and growth . Effect : stunned growth .
what are the risk when using iodine solution ? how to control the risk?
Stains skin and clothes
how to : Don’t touch the iodine solution with bare hands and keep clothes away from iodine solution .
what else do plants take in other than water and carbon dioxide
nitrate and it used for growth
