Q

Where does photosynthesis take place

A

In small structures called CHLOROPLASTS

CHLOROPLASTS are ORGANELLES IN PLANT, which are inside the cells of LEAVES or STEM

Inside chloroplasts is green PIGMENT called CHLOROPHYLL

THE CHLOROPHYLL CELLS ABSORB THE RADIANT ENERGY (ONLY FUNCTION OF CHLOROPHYLL IS TRAP SUNLIGHT ENERGY)

PHOTOSYNTHESIS can only TAKE PLACE in GREEN PLANTS THAT HAVE CHLOROPLASTS

Q

How does the Plant STORE GLUCOSE

A
  1. To STORE glucose, it needs to CONVERT the glucose into a COMPOUND
  2. COMPOUNDS are INSOLUBLE in H20. Can convert Glucose into:
    (i) STARCH (INSOLUBLE in H20); or
    (ii) OTHER CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS to ENABLE PROCESSES in plant (eg REPRODUCTION and GROWTH)

As a BASIC MOLECULE from which to MAKE HUNDREDS of OTHER COMPOUNDS, such as
- PROTEINS
- OILS
- VITAMINS
- COLOURFUL PIGMENTS in flowers
- STRONG TASTING CHEMICALS (HOT CHILLI PLANT)

Q

Why does plant need to STORE glucose

A
  1. To CONVERT into OTHER CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS to enable OTHER PROCESSES in plant (eg. GROWTH & REPRODUCTION)
  2. To store for times when NOT ENOUGH WATER or NOT ENOUGH SUNLIGHT or WINTER when PHOTOSYNTHESIS SLOWS DOWN/CAN’T TAKE PLACE
18
Q

Why do bananas sweeten as they ripen

A

As bananas ripen, the STARCH CONVERTED into GLUCOSE

19
Q

How do we test a leaf for starch

A
  1. Boil the leaf water - to break down the cell wall of the leaf to make it soft
  2. The alcohol must be boiled first and not over a flame as alcohol is flammable
  3. Put the leaf in the boiled alcohol - to remove the chlorophyll from the leaf
  4. Wash the leave in hot water after being boiling in alcohol - to soft the leaf
  5. Place leaf on white tile and cover in Iodine solution
  6. The leaf goes dark brown/black mean STARCH IS PRESENT
20
Q

How to test whether cholophyll is necessary for photosynthesis

A
  1. Same as steps in STARCH TEST
  2. EXCEPT use a VARIEGATED LEAF (parts are GREEN and parts are WHITE)
  3. The GREEN PART WILL GO DARK - which shows STARCH/GLUCOSE is present (ie photosynthesis has taken place)
  4. WHITE part STAYS THE SAME
21
Q

What is a leaf called that has GREEN Parts and WHITE parts

A

VARIEGATED leaf

22
Q

What is the test to see if LIGHT is necessary for PHOTOSYNTHESIS

A
  1. Put a green plant in the sunlight
  2. Cover one of its leaves with aluminium foil
  3. Leave in sunlight for 3 days
  4. Then remove aluminium strip
  5. Carry out STARCH TEST steps (first prac) - ie put iodine on green leaf and leaf that was covered in aluminium foil
  6. Results - covered area turned brown. Uncovered turned black (has starch - photosynthesis)
  7. Therefore sunlight energy is necessary for photosynthesis
23
Q

What is the test to see if OXYGEN is given off during photosynthesis

A
  1. Place a WATER PLANT like ELODEA in the trough
  2. Invert (upside down) the funnel over water plant allowing funnel to rest on floor of beaker
  3. Fill test tube with water and invert (upside down) over inverted funnel (where tube of funnel opens up)
  4. Place in sun light for 3 days
  5. Results - the plants releases BUBBLES OF GAS which collect in test tube which confirms gas
  6. TEST GAS TO SEE IF O2 - splint relights = O2
  7. What are 2 constant variables = amount of sunlight days and same type of plant
  8. What is a control that can be setup for this experiment = the same setup take away sunlight/radiant energy
  9. What is the independent variable = amount sunlight energy
  10. What result between CONTROL and EXPERIMENT = CONTROL DOES NOT PRODUCE O2, EXPERIMENT DOES
  11. How do you prove gas given is O2 - the SPLINT ignites = O2
24
Q

Test to show if CO2 necessary for photosynthesis

A
  1. 2 green plants in 2 bell jars - PLANT A and PLANT B
  2. Seal bell jars with VASELINE - so air doesn’t get in
  3. DESTARCH BOTH PLANTS before putting in bell jars - DESTARCH BY LEAVING IN DARK CUPBOARD FOR 2 TO 3 DAYS
  4. Plant A put POTASSIUM HYROXIDE SOLUTION (ABSORBS CO2) in beaker next to plant inside Bell Jar - THEREFORE AIR INSIDE PLANT A BELL JAR WILL HAVE NO CO2 AS ABSORBED by potassium hydroxide solution
  5. Plant B put WATER in beaker next to plant inside bell jar - THEREFORE AIR INSIDE PLANT B BELL JAR WILL HAVE AIR WITH CO2 IN IT
  6. RESULTS - PLANT A WITH NO CO2 INSIDE BELL JAR TESTED NEGATIVE FOR STARCH BECAUSE IT TURNED BROWN; PLANT B WITH CO2 INSIDE BELL JAR TESTED POSITIVE FOR STARCH AS IT TURNED BLACK
25
Q

What does POTASSIUM HYROXIDE SOLUTION do if placed next to a plant in a closed/sealed bell jar

A

It ABSORBS CO2 SO THAT THE AIR IN THE BELL JAR WILL HAVE NO CO2

26
Q

What is CELLULAR RESPIRATION

A
  1. The PROCESS by which
  2. USE O2 and
  3. GLUCOSE IS BROKEN DOWN
  4. ENERGY IS RELEASED from GLUCOSE
    5.In a SERIES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
  5. To drive OTHER PROCESSES in your body

Glucose is BROKEN DOWN and ENERGY IS RELEASED
The ENERBY RELEASED is to drive OTHER PROCESSES in your body (MRS GREN)

27
Q

What is the MAIN PRODUCT of CELLULAR RESPIRATION

A

ENERGY in the form of ATP

28
Q

What are the BY-PRODUCTS (NOT THE MAIN PRODUCTS) OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION

A

CO2 and H2O

29
Q

What is THE MAIN PRODUCT of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

A

GLUCOSE C6H12O6

30
Q

What are the BY-PRODUCT of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

A

O2

31
Q

What are the BY-PRODUCTS of CELLULAR RESPIRATION

A

CO2 and H20

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H20

GLUCOSE + OXYGEN = CARBOND DIOXIDE + WATER

32
Q

What is the DIFFERENCE between BREATHING and RESPIRATION

A

BREATHING = INHALING/EXHALING AIR in/out LUNGS

RESPIRATION/CELLULAR RESPIRATION =
- METABOLIC PROCESS
- That USES O2
- to RELEASE ENERGY (ATP)
- and releases CO2 and H2O as BY-PRODUCTS

33
Q

What is a well known test for DETECTING CO2

A
  1. USE CLEAR LIMEWATER (=CALCIUM HYROXIDE Ca(OH)2
  2. BUBBLE the gas THROUGH THE CLEAR LIMEWATER
  3. IF it turns MILKY - then gas contains CO2
34
Q

What is the scientific compound name for LIMEWATER

A

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE
Ca(OH)2

35
Q

Complete labels A to C of attached CELLULAR RESPIRATION diagram

A

A. REQUIREMENTS = O2 and C6H12O6
B. MAIN PRODUCT = ENERGY in form ATP
C. BY-PRODUCTS = CO2 AND H20

36
Q

FILL IN MISSING LABELS A TO D OF ATTACHED DIAGRAM

A

A. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
B. GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and O2
C. CELLULAR RESPIRATION
D. BY PRODUCTS = CO2 and H2O

37
Q

Label 1 to 4 of attached DIAGRAM

A

I = chloroplast (photosynthesis)

F = mitochondria (cellular respiration)

  1. Glucose
  2. CO2
  3. H20
  4. O2
38
Q

What is an ORGANELLE found only in plant cells

A

CHLOROPLASTS

39
Q

WHAT IS ONLY PRESENT IN PLANTS

A

CHLORPLASTS

40
Q

HOW DO SOME SLUGS AND BACTERIA PRODUCE THEIR OWN FOOD/PHOTOSYNTHESISE

A

THEY ABSORB THE CHLOROPLAST FROM THE GREEN ALGAE

SO CAN PRODUCE THEIR OWN FOOD BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS
